'  ==== Explanation of how slice refreshing & drawing works ====
'DrawSlice simply calls DrawSliceRecurse, which is the central drawing function.
'
'DrawSliceRecurse(sl):
'
'  attach->ChildRefresh(attach, sl)
'   (attach == parent of sl, except for the root slice, then attach == ScreenSlice.
'    sl->Attached is currently unused.)
'   Calls RefreshChild() to recomputes sl->ScreenPos from sl->Pos.
'   (Can also adjust sl->Size (if sl->Fill) and sl->Visible, see ChildRefresh details below.)
'
'  If sl->Visible:
'
'    If sl->CoverChildren: UpdateCoverSize(sl)
'
'    If sl->Context: push onto context_stack
'
'    sl->Draw(): (eg DrawSpriteSlice)  [if present]
'     -Type-specific drawing of a single slice
'     (If something has to be drawn over the children instead, done in sl->ChildDraw)
'
'    AutoSortChildren(sl)
'
'    sl->ChildDraw() (eg GridChildDraw, DefaultChildDraw):
'      (Called once to draw all children.)
'      sl->ChildrenRefresh() [if present]
'        (Recomputes Pos, Size and ScreenPos for each child)
'      For each child:
'        Skip if a template slice (and template_slices_shown=NO)
'        shrinkclip if clipping; usually done once for all children
'          (clip to parent size minus padding, or to child's support for Grid/Panel)
'        If the cliprect isn't zero-size (but do continue if the child is totally clipped off):
'          DrawSliceRecurse(child, page, childindex)
'            ...draw the child recursively...
'      Restore cliprect
'      Possibly draw something over all children (Scroll slices)
'
'    Pop context_stack
'
'
'So unrolling that, each slice `sl` is processed in this order:
'Before DrawSlice called:
' -[NPC, hero, etc, slices] - positions & visibility updated based on in-game logic (done separately)
' -AdvanceSlice() - update position based on movement (done separately - in-game wandering on map only!)
'Before parent is drawn:
' -If parent->CoverChildren sl->Size/sl->Pos are used to update the parent's size
'After parent is drawn:
' -AutoSortChildren() modifies order amongst siblings
' -parent->ChildrenRefresh() [if present] updates sl->ScreenPos/sl->Size
' -Skip sl if it's a template or parent sets a zero-size cliprect
' -parent->ChildRefresh() & RefreshChild() update sl->ScreenPos/sl->Size/sl->Visible
' -If sl->Visible:
'   -If sl->CoverChildren, update sl->Size
'   -push sl->Context onto context_stack
'   -sl->Draw()
'   -children autosorted
'   -sl->ChildDraw():
'     -sl->ChildrenRefresh()
'     -For each child:
'       -Skip if a template slice (and template_slices_shown=NO)
'       -shrinkclip if clipping; usually done once for all children
'          (clip to parent size minus padding, or to child's support for Grid/Panel)
'       -If the cliprect isn't zero-size:
'         -DrawSliceRecurse(child)
'           -sl->ChildRefresh(child)
'     -draw scrollbars/etc over children
'   -pop context_stack
'
'[[FIXME: the above reveals several problems
' -parent->CoverChildren happens before most updates to children
' -CoverChildren updates Size after Size has already been used to update ScreenPos
' -it's really hard to see the order things happen from the code
']]
'
'  ==== Slice refreshing details ====
'
'sl->ChildRefresh (called by the slice refresh functions like RefreshSliceScreenPos,
'and called directly or indirectly in lots of places) is responsible for translating a slice's
'.Pos to its .ScreenPos (including effects of clamping), and also applying .Fill (which
'modifies .Size) -- this is probably in the wrong place!
'As an exception, SelectChildRefresh also modifies .Visible. (Although this leads to unnecessary
'refreshes there doesn't seem to a better place for it. See r7792.)
'All sl->ChildRefresh methods calculate the 'support' rect for a child then call RefreshChild()
'to do the actual update. Grid and Panel slices have non-standard supports (each child
'gets its own instead of all sharing the same one).
'As an exception, if sl->ChildrenRefresh is defined, sl->ChildRefresh isn't (this may be
'a mistake, which should be changed). So Layout slices don't have a ChildRefresh and are
'the only slices that don't call RefreshChild.
'
'sl->ChildrenRefresh is used for recomputing child X,Y positions if they are determined
'by the parent slice. Currently only LayoutChildrenRefresh exists. There are no
'Panel/GridChildrenRefresh subs because X,Y positions of children of those aren't relative
'to a certain point.
'sl->ChildrenRefresh is called by slice refresh functions but not by collision detection
'functions!
