Animated layer (not the Garmin one)

Hello again,

Sooo, I thought of a animated layer that mimics a bit what Garmin has and it sorta works. I can get it down and than up again. But subsequent tries do not work as expected. It seems that if the y-coordinate goes below -120 (so -121 and further down) that the layer only gets painted when the full canvas can be painted again.

Does anyone know how/what/when etc?

It's time to go sleep. I never set visible to true on the true, so it won't be painted.. until it hits the end.. plop...

Ok, I need help with how to name the thing. It is now called an animated layer, but that is kinda broad.

It slides a layer up and down: https://imgur.com/a/XMamJnI and I want to change the API a bit so it can also slide down and up and left to right an right to left. Basicly, Ui.SLIDE_XXXX options from any side of a screen. How would you call that?

Overlay? AnimatedOverlay?

I realize "overlay" isn't much better than "layer"...

I would've said banner, but that might not work if it can also be oriented vertically.

Horizontal banners and vertical banners work. The latter you often find as skycrapers on websites (with their ads) and on conferences. I like it.
