Xamarin.Forms allows you to define the user interface once for multiple platforms. It offers an abstraction layer that is converted on each platform into native controls.
While the native controls proposal is great as it offers the native experience (appearance, performance, etc). it has certain adjacent limitations like customization possibilities etc.
**GraphicsControls** is a library that offers the controls available in Xamarin.Forms Visual allowing to choose between **Cupertino, Fluent and Material** but, instead of creating native controls, are **drawn controls**.
[System.Graphics](https://github.com/jonlipsky/System.Graphics) is a cross-platform graphics library for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux completely in C#. With this library you can use a common API to target multiple abstractions allowing you to share your drawing code between platforms, or mix and match graphics implentations within a singular application.
Some native controls are complex. For example, Entry using Visual Material is made up of different elements. When using it, each of the different elements must be instantiated (the text box, the placeholder text, etc.). Using the drawn control, create an instance of a Canvas and draw the content. The time required to instantiate etc is shorter.
