Specification
No information provided


Summary
Writing mode support for HTML canvas text will enable correct text shaping for 
vertical text, as already supported by CSS. Canvas text styles gain a 
"writingMode" attribute along with a "textOrientation" attribute that have the 
same effect on a text run as the related CSS properties. The various alignment 
attributes are augmented to support vertically oriented text. The CSS 
properties from the canvas element style are ignored.


Blink component
Blink>Canvas


Web Feature ID
canvas-2d


Motivation
Canvas text styles do not provide any direct control over the writing mode and 
character orientation, and browsers are inconsistent with how they treat the 
CSS properties on the canvas element. The workaround is to render and position 
each character separately, which may require a JS implementation of text 
shaping.
