psychedelic3D is really great! but indeed cpu intensive.. i’ve had about 5 fps on chrome, 3 fps on opera and 1 on ff3.1 beta3 (and 0.3 on safari 4)

@SchizoDuckie
Lose the attitude please, I just asked a question, and read my posts first before hitting the go button. I said already that the whatwg spec is an exercise in pain. What part of the sentence didn’t you understand?
I’m working on a project that I hope to release openly at some point, a Canvas railroad generator. It will need to use pretty much most of the things that are available in Canvas, so I’m just looking for a shortcut. If I don’t find anything, I’ll write the damn thing myself. Jeez
Paul.

I clicked a couple of links on Peterned’s link and came here. Coul couldn’t find this?

@SchizoDuckie
Canvas IS the API…. What more do you want?

A full list of the functions and parameters required would be nice.
Something like php.net or jquery.com

@Peterned
Thanks, that was the first place I visited. There’s some good stuff there, but just what was needed to get the demonstrations working. There’s a fair bit more to canvas than just that. At the minute, most of what I’m learning is by looking through processing.js, and getting the function calls there. The html canvas spec is an exercise in pain.

Peter most certainly is the man.
But the iPhone is the device.

I’ve created a kind of a ripp-off of Peter’s picturewall purely based on CSS-transformations, -animations and a tiny bit of JavaScript.

You can see it here: http://quento.q42.net/FotoWall/index.html
Warning: iPhone or iPodTouch (or simulator) only.

My apologies for the 750KB PNG.

@paulhan,
There’s a tutorial/ref over at the mozilla developer center; https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Canvas_tutorial

+1 for the epilepsy warning. This is awesome. It can only be a matter of time before full featured CAD programs are built where people can collaborate right there in the browser. Amazingly, after 100 Google hits, I still can’t find an API for Canvas, that just lists the functions available and the parameters required. Has anybody else found one?

Pretty solid work. The mouse click needs a little more work but the foundation is solid
