Ok. So layer would have object and object has a property if it is
positive or negative. Negative from nothing will endup being nothing.
Positive in positive will endup in positive.
And by defaul a layer would be an empty sufrace(like one big negative
rectangle)?
Or do we need a special treatment for "some" layers.
