- Project description
- Implementation of simple portable 2D graphics library.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Dependencies:
- Dojo Core
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Documentation
- Currently it can be found here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=d764479_1hnb2tn
- 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:
- dojox/gfx/tests
- test_gfx.html-Bugs #1
- test_arc.html
- test_bezier.html
- test_pattern.html
- test_gradient.html
- test_linearGradient.html
- test_image1.html - Limitation #3
- test_transform.html - Bug #1
- test_poly.html - Bug #1
- dojox/gfx/demos
- butterfly.html - Bug #1
- lion.html - Bug #1
- tiger.html - Bug #1
- circles.html - No event processing yet :(
- creator.html
- dojox/chart
- test_pie2d.html - Dojo Charts on iPhone anyone? :)
- 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.
- SVGWeb Integration Status
- See README-svgweb.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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.
