Hello blink-dev! Floating-point support for 2D canvas and for ImageData is now here 🎉. This is the last API that needed support (after WebGPU and WebGL added it in previous years). This will enable unified high bit depth (e.g, medical) and high dynamic range (e.g, shiny) application support across all canvas APIs, and across all of the (wildly varying) operating systems that Blink ships on.
Contact emailsccame...@chromium.org, yi...@chromium.org Explainer https://github.com/ccameron-chromium/ColorWeb-CG/blob/canvas2d_float/canvas_float.md Specificationhttps://github.com/w3c/ColorWeb-CG/blob/master/canvas_float.md Summary Introduce the ability to use floating point pixel formats (as opposed to 8-bit fixed point) with CanvasRenderingContext2D, OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D, and ImageData. This is necessary for high precision applications (e.g, medical visualization), high dynamic range content, and linear working color spaces.
