Maui.Graphics.Controls

[zigzag312]

It would be interesting to see how Maui.Graphics.Controls performs as it's similar (as I understand it) to Flutter.

PRs welcome!

I would tailor it a bit like this:

If you can make a new project with a graphics view (whatever that is), and then draw each lol in a loop.

The issue is I got ~152,661 per second with the above sample -- and then the UI thread just renders at 60 fps. So I'm not sure how valid drawing APIs are for this test.

You're right. I took a quick look at benchmarks source just now, and I must admit, I'm not sure what exactly is being measured.

I thought it would be interesting to see how much overhead do MAUI's native controls have (due to Java interop, memory marshaling...), compared to self drawn controls of Maui.Graphics.Controls.

@zigzag312 if there is a Maui.Graphics alternative to Label, maybe it could be compared to that?

Otherwise, maybe you could compare something self-drawn vs a built-in control?

@jonathanpeppers It seems Label isn't yet implemented: dotnet/Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.Controls#52

I haven't used Maui.Graphics.Controls yet, as it's still just an experiment, but I'm following it, as I'm highly interested in a cross platform UI library with a lower level customizability.
