is there any padding equivalent, optimised with graphics layer =?

I don't understand the question. What problem are you looking to solve?

padding changing according to scrollState. I can use padding just fine. But when i do this kinda of animations, always try to find out if there is any equivalent with graphics layer, that only changes the draw and not the measure

are you attempting to avoid recomposition for dynamic padding changes at layout time?

imagine a Column with a card with horizontal padding, that is sticky and loses padding when on top. that kind of animation

Modifier.layout {}

is probably what you want if you want to get fancy here

gonna give it a try. thanks
