I have a requirement for a data visualization that involves a graphic
repeated n times as follows, over multiple lines/rows.

xxxxx
xxxxx
xx

However, it should also never scroll, and fill whatever space is available,
with the cell size varying as necessary, with aspect ratio preserved.

I've experimented with two approaches:
1) using Degrafa as an item renderer for a TileList
2) Tile with Repeater, with Degrafa object inside Repeater

2) is promising, and as someone on the Degrafa list suggested, I could
render at a fixed reference size, and apply a scale to the container. The
overhead of the repeater approach is obviously a concern, but the challenge
with 1) is dynamically determining the cell size so that the component
doesn't scroll. I can't turn off clipContent, since TileList is not a
container.

I feel the need for a Degrafa extension or yet another custom tiling
component, but my other one hasn't exactly been a walk in the park, so ideas
are welcome.
