// Package screen provides interfaces for portable two-dimensional graphics and
// input events.
//
// Screens are not created directly. Instead, driver packages provide access to
// the screen through a Main function that is designed to be called by the
// program's main function. The golang.org/x/exp/shiny/driver package provides
// the default driver for the system, such as the X11 driver for desktop Linux,
// but other drivers, such as the OpenGL driver, can be explicitly invoked by
// calling that driver's Main function. To use the default driver:
//
//	package main
//
//	import (
//		"golang.org/x/exp/shiny/driver"
//		"golang.org/x/exp/shiny/screen"
//	)
//
//	func main() {
//		driver.Main(func(s screen.Screen) {
//			w, err := s.NewWindow(nil)
//			if err != nil {
//				handleError(err)
//				return
//			}
//			for e := range w.Events() {
//				handleEvent(e)
//			}
//		})
//	}
