HTMLCanvas Renderer Status
|
|
|
|
To use canvas rendering, insert 'canvas' at the beginning of the gfxRenderers list in your
|
|
djConfig, for example:
|
|
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../dojo/dojo.js"
|
|
djConfig="parseOnLoad: true, gfxRenderer: 'canvas,svg,silverlight,vml'"></script>
|
|
canvas currently will only render on non-IE browsers (see dojox/gfx.js for where the renderer is loaded);
|
|
although it should be possible to use an IE canvas implementation (like Google's); however, it will be very slow.
|
|
|
|
The following tests can be made to work with HTML Canvas with minor testcase modification:

test_chart2d.html -

|
|
|
// To make charts work, the following line needs to be added to the end of the
|
|
// Chart2D.js render() method (prior to return)
|
|
if(this.surface.render){this.surface.render()};
|
|
|
|
Known Limitations:
|
|
1) event handling- plan is to capture all events at canvas, perform intersect/hit
|
|
tests (not implemented) against scene graph, then propogate event to top-most
|
|
intersected shape. HtmlCanvas shape need intersectsStroke and intersectsBounds,
|
|
and intersects (region).
|
|
2) SVG and VML are "live" scene graphs; eg. any state change to objects in the
|
|
scene automatically get rendered in next engine render pass. For canvas, it's
|
|
procedural, and current implementation requires application to call surface.render()
|
|
whenever scene needs to be updated. Plan is to do dirty region checking based
|
|
on bounding boxes (currently not properly computed), and track dirty areas anytime
|
|
state changes (invalidate) separate from render phase.
|
|
Add the following call where changes to the scene graph are complete and you want to
|
|
render:
|
|
|
|
if (surface.render){surface.render();}
|
|
|
|
4) Text/Text Paths - Text shape is implemented using DIV overlays. Many text styles are not
|
|
applied, and outline/fills are not possible. This is due to limitations in Canvas spec.
|
|
Firefox 3.0 has proprietary text functions that we could test for and use once FF3 is out.
|
|
No luck on Safari.
|
|
3) No Image skewing - Limitation of Canvas
|
|
|
|
Known Bugs:
|
|
1) Matrix xformations (applied from root to shape leaf nodes) not quite right--but very close.
|
|
Canvas does not have a built in transformation function that allows skewing. Need to
|
|
track skew matrix with Shape, and perform other trans/rot/scale transformations without
|
|
using canvas transform functions.

Installation instructions
|
|
|
|
Grab the following from the Dojo SVN Repository:
|
|
http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/var/src/dojo/dojox/trunk/gfx.js
|
|
http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/var/src/dojo/dojox/trunk/gfx/*
|
|
|
|
Install into the following directory structure:
|
|
/dojox/gfx/
|
|
|
|
...which should be at the same level as your Dojo checkout.
