```kotlin
interface IndicationInstance
```


IndicationInstance is a specific instance of an `Indication` that draws visual effects on certain
interactions, such as press or focus.

IndicationInstances can be stateful or stateless, and are created by
`Indication.rememberUpdatedInstance` - they should be used in-place and not re-used between
different `indication` modifiers.


## Functions

```kotlin
fun ContentDrawScope.drawIndication()
```


Draws visual effects for the current interactions present on this component.

Typically this function will read state within this instance that is mutated by
`Indication.rememberUpdatedInstance`. This allows `IndicationInstance` to just read state and
draw visual effects, and not actually change any state itself.

This method MUST call `ContentDrawScope.drawContent` at some point in order to draw the
component itself underneath any indication. Typically this is called at the beginning, so
that indication can be drawn as an overlay on top.
