This is a heads up to let people know that the way <canvas> draws is
going to be changing soon. Right now <canvas> uses two methods on
GraphicsContext to draw:
paintBuffer
drawImage (ImageBuffer version)
I recently added a cross-platform Image* accessor (image()) to
ImageBuffer. However this has only been implemented on the CG port so
far.
<canvas> is going to switch over to just grabbing an Image* from the
ImageBuffer. This will eliminate the need for these extra methods on
GraphicsContext.
Every port will need to support the image() accessor on ImageBuffer
for the new CSS Gradients feature to work also. Cairo, Qt and wx
ports should go ahead and get this method implemented now.
There will be more changes coming down the line as canvas is molded to
be more cross-platform so that we can all share more code and reduce
duplication of effort.
Thanks,
dave
