Hi,
For my own education, I just wanted to get some clarification. With
regards to SVG, when you use it, it looks something like this in the HTML
file:
<svg style="Š">
<rect style="Š" />
<rect style="Š" />
</svg>
With Canvas, there aren't any graphic elements, you just have <canvas />
and then JS code to draw the rects (or whatever).
Were you thinking we would be able to substitute Canvas for SVG? In other
words, in the Charts, I used SVG in the JS version of the BoxItemRenderer.
Is it your intent that you could write a BoxItemRenderer that used Canvas
instead, for each renderer? The JS would be something like a
<div><canvas/></div> (the SVG version is <div><svg><rect /></svg></div> so
the mouse tracking would be on the outer <div>.
Or were you thinking that if you wanted to use Canvas for the Charts,
you'd work at a higher level and have a <canvas> per chart and inside of
that the renderers would simply use Canvas drawing to make the bars,
columns, axes, etc.?
I just wanted to see where you were envisioning this going. I think both
approaches would work.
