How to give views an absolute position (want to plot dots on a small graph, for which I'm using

Box

/ shapes)?

If you're just plotting a graph you'll have a far easier time using

Canvas {}

I considered it, but is it good for animations (e.g. interpolate between the old and new positions)?

yes, state reads in a canvas block are observed just like composition and layout, and if that state changes it will be redrawn without needing to recompose to do it.

ah, no, just assumptions based on unrelated frameworks 😛

If there's some other documentation or emphasis we could add that would have changed those assumptions, please let us know 🙂
