Compose Graphics

Advanced Compose visuals: M3 Expressive motion physics, AGSL shaders (Android 13+), Canvas / DrawScope, graphicsLayer effects. Loaded for advanced thesis (shader, expressive, M3 Expressive, AGSL, Canvas, holographic). Foundation: ../compose-motion/SKILL.md covers basics. Concise rules here. Deep-dive in references/.

Decision Tree: Which API for Which Need

Need	API
Spring physics with bounce / overshoot	MotionScheme.expressive() (M3 Expressive)
Pixel-level shader	RuntimeShader + Modifier.graphicsLayer { renderEffect = ... } (Android 13+)
Generative drawing (paths, particles, fractals)	Canvas { drawScope -> ... }
GPU effects (blur, shadows, color filters)	Modifier.graphicsLayer { renderEffect = ... } or Modifier.blur(...)
Adaptive system materials (Material You glassmorphism)	Modifier.background(MaterialTheme.colorScheme.surfaceContainerHighest)
Liquid glass on Android	AGSL shader recipe (no native API like iOS yet)

Domain 1: Material 3 Expressive

What It Is

The 2025 Material 3 evolution introduces spring-based motion physics replacing fixed-duration tweens. New shape morphing API via androidx.graphics.shapes. New MotionScheme selectable on the theme. Aimed at hero moments, key interactions, brand-defining UI.

MotionScheme

Scheme	Personality	Use For
MotionScheme.standard()	Calmer, less overshoot	Default for chrome, lists, navigation
MotionScheme.expressive()	More overshoot, longer settle	Hero reveals, FABs, primary CTAs
