Nested Draw Layers raise an error
Version of Dear PyGui
Version: 1.11.1 Operating System: Arch Linux
My Issue/Question
I found out that using draw layers to quickly hide/show or delete lists of items gives a huge performance boost compared to doing it manually on each item.
As such I started making use of them a lot.
However I got an error when trying to create a draw layer inside a draw layer. I do not think there should be such a restriction.
To Reproduce
This code raises the following error:
import dearpygui.dearpygui as dpg
dpg.create_context()
dpg.create_viewport()
dpg.setup_dearpygui()
with dpg.window(tag="Primary Window"):
with dpg.plot():
with dpg.draw_layer():
with dpg.draw_layer():
print('Hello')
Exception:
Error: [1003]
Command: add_draw_layer
Item: 24
Label:
Item Type: mvAppItemType::mvDrawLayer
Message: Incompatible parent. Acceptable parents include: mvAppItemType::mvTemplateRegistry
mvAppItemType::mvStage
mvAppItemType::mvDrawlist
mvAppItemType::mvWindowAppItem
mvAppItemType::mvPlot
mvAppItemType::mvViewportDrawlist
Expected behavior
Being able to use draw layers inside draw layers.
Simply adding draw layers as possible child/parent of draw layers inside the code works in my usecase, but there might be a bit more work in order to handle correctly the optional properties of draw layers.

dpg.plot
Layer not supported
dpg.drawlist
dpg.draw_layer
dpg.add_drag_rect
I hope to solve the problem But I'm not sure how to solve it
