In pre-compose days we had a rule: no animation inside layouts (during measure etc). Do I understand correctly that in Compose this restriction is somewhat lifted? I.e. can I safely do

val state: State<Dp>

a) modifier = Modifier.width(state.value)
b) Layout({}) { measurables, constraints -> layout(state.roundToPx(), state.roundToPx()) { ... } }

Are there any restrictions or guidelines on what to do or not do regrading animations and (custom) layouts? Are they documented somewhere?

You can do both, although the second one is much faster, as animation changes are observed only in measure

Nice to know, thanks!
