+### Scrolling |
+ |
+Each paint chunk is associated with a [scroll node](ScrollPaintPropertyNode.h) |
+which defines information about how a subtree scrolls so threads other than the |
+main thread can perform scrolling. Scroll information includes: |
+ |
+* Which directions, if any, are scrollable by the user. |
+* A reference to a [transform node](TransformPaintPropertyNode.h) which contains |
+a 2d scroll offset. |
+* The extent that can be scrolled. For example, an overflow clip of size 7x9 |
+with scrolling contents of size 7x13 can scroll 4px vertically and none |
+horizontally. |
+ |
+To ensure geometry operations are simple and only deal with transforms, the |
+scroll offset is stored as a 2d transform in the transform tree. |
