Domain: Boxes

Details

• The one box every environment draws a figure from: a canvas, a terminal and a native view read the same primitives, tagged by address. Show lowers to it.
• Rules stay data; each drawer resolves them per mark.
• Prints as -Graphics- in text, as Wolfram does.
• Holds its primitives in a list, as Wolfram does: GraphicsBox[{}] when empty. A figure or plot that remembers the expression it came from is wrapped whole in an InterpretationBox.

Examples

a box is inert: it evaluates to itself
