What is Scene?

We have this terminology - "Scene". Scene is a collection of layers, which can be represented as a Screen or a Component.

Examples

• Text or Shape is not a Scene.
• Frame is a Scene. (optionally)
• Page or Screen is a Scene. (which is Frame)
• A Component is a Scene.
• A Variant Set is not a Scene.
• A Variant is a Scene.
• A Instance is not a Scene.

What's special about the Scene?

• Scene is a unit of sharing
  • Once a Node or a Layer is registered as a Scene, you can share
  • You cannot share a Single Text Node.
• Scene is a root, a absolute positioner reletive to its' children
  • When you convert a lyer inside some frame to code, Let's say a Frame, this frame's position will be relative to it's first scene-parent.
• Scene is a unit of processing, This is to prevent recursive generation of code.

Now we have a clear understanding among layers, scenes and components, we can move on to the next step.
