Chromium Compositor's CalculateDrawProperties: Scrolling and Overscroll

The sources provide an extremely detailed, line-by-line breakdown of the Chromium compositor function CalculateDrawProperties, explaining how it prepares the active layer tree for rendering. A primary focus is on how scrolling and elastic overscroll are handled by updating property trees (transform, clip, and effect) to reflect user interaction. Specifically, the function prioritizes applying SyncedProperties, such as the page scale factor (zoom) and the elastic overscroll vector (the bounce effect), ensuring consistency across layer trees before property recomputation. The application of overscroll is platform-dependent, utilizing stretching on Android versus simple translation on non-Android platforms, and these effects are injected into a dedicated transform node that propagates the visual change to all descendant layers. Finally, the function determines visible layers, computes their final draw properties, and assembles the render surface list that the compositor will use to issue drawing commands.
