Re: [webkit-dev] Canvas API in Webkit
Hi Dont really know for which platform/port of webkit u want to do this. If its a gtk port u can use a cairo for doing the same . If its s60 (if at all u r experimenting) then using CFbsBitmapDevice context u can create a memory bitmap and then draw it onto graphics context. Webkit also does same kind of operation when it renders its contents on webview. So webkit already does it ... u just need to find way to manipulate. Please correct me if i am wrong on this :) Thanks Regards Niilesh On Sat, Dec 27, 2008 at 9:49 AM, Lucius Fox lucius.fo...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 12:09 PM, Darin Adler da...@apple.com wrote: On Dec 24, 2008, at 7:48 PM, Lucius Fox wrote: Thanks.

Well, those browsers aren't open source, so there's no real way for you to find out how they implemented the feature. I think it's safe to assume that they draw the web pages into a bitmap and then shrink the image. Thank you. Can you please tell me how can i find example of how to 'draw the web pages into a bitmap'? Thank you again. It certainly has nothing to do with the HTML canvas element in either case. -- Darin ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev

That sounds like a good idea for an extension for canvas. I hope someone adds it to WebKit at some point. -- Darin ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
