The GUI is built as a static library (`lib/libdvx.a`). The demo links
against it.

Process one iteration of the event loop: poll input, dispatch events,
composite dirty regions, and flush. Returns `true` if the GUI is still
running, `false` when exit has been requested. Use this instead of
`dvxRun()` when embedding the GUI inside an existing main loop.

### Canvas
```c
WidgetT *wgtCanvas(WidgetT *parent, int32_t w, int32_t h);
```
Drawable bitmap canvas with a sunken bevel border. Supports freehand
drawing with Bresenham-interpolated strokes.
```c
void wgtCanvasClear(WidgetT *w, uint32_t color);
void wgtCanvasSetPenColor(WidgetT *w, uint32_t color);
void wgtCanvasSetPenSize(WidgetT *w, int32_t size);
int32_t wgtCanvasSave(WidgetT *w, const char *path);
int32_t wgtCanvasLoad(WidgetT *w, const char *path);
```
`wgtCanvasSave` writes the canvas to a PNG file (converting from display
pixel format to RGB). `wgtCanvasLoad` reads any image format supported by
stb_image and converts it to display pixel format.
