# A bounded dialog card drawn in the game's own style: a dark chamfered
# body with a glowing border and bright corner brackets. Chamfered rather
# than square because cut corners read as "console panel" and match the
# hard-edged neon of the buttons and HUD.
#
# Draws itself from its own rect, so it can be sized freely in the scene.
#
# #92: it also SHRINKS itself to whatever window it is in. The card is
# authored at a fixed size around a portrait phone, and on a landscape
# window - where the canvas is far wider than it is tall - a card taller
# than the screen simply ran off the top and the bottom, taking the confirm
# and cancel buttons with it. The buttons are anchored to the panel's own
# bottom edge, so bringing the edge back on screen brings them back too.
#
# Only ever shrinks. Growing the card on a big screen would blow the
# authored proportions up with it, and the layout inside is tuned, not
# fluid.
