Also the proposed clear() or empty() option only applies to Canvas correct?
i.e. WritableImages don't suffer from these kind of issues and don't require
such methods?
That is correct (WritableImage we don't provide a 2D API to use to fill the
buffer, you just bash the pixels yourself however you like, so we don't have to
buffer anything up).
Hm, I didn't realize WritableImage had the same kind PixelWriter
interface. For my usecase, where I just render full frames to a
PixelWriter so JavaFX can display them in some fashion, why should I not
use a WriteableImage instead?
Looking at the docs, I see that one limitation is that the WritableImage
cannot be resized after construction (something that I do use with
Canvas), but I think I could work around that by just recreating the
Image when its size changes... I could just wrap a class around it that
does this transparently.
Going to take a look if I can rip out the Canvas code and replace it
with a resizable WritableImage and see what the results are for full
screen video playback...
