Project Details

pushStyle() and popStyle()

  • The number of states saved is tracked by pushedStates.
  • pushStyle() calls curContext.save() and increments pushedStates by one.
  • Excess pops are ignored.

Related Mozilla bugs

  • #451165 - CanvasRenderingContext2D.fillStyle and strokeStyle accept invalid colours
    • pushStyle() and popStyle() use CanvasRenderingContext2D.save() and restore(). These functions save fillStyle and strokeStyle.

boolean()

  • Non-zero numeric values become true
    • Bytes (0's and 1's) are interpreted as numeric values.
  • null and undefine become false.
  • Boolean arguments are returned as themselves.

strokeCap()

  • Modifies context.lineCap.
  • ROUND -> context.lineCap="round";
  • SQUARE -> context.lineCap="butt";
  • PROJECT -> context.lineCap="square";
  • Processing default (ROUND) set in function init.
  • function size modified to respect previous settings.
    • Used to recreate context and reset settings, which overwrote the desired default.

strokeJoin()

text()

  • Partially implementation missing ability to take int, float, double, and byte arguments.
  • float and doubles rounded to thousandths digit.
  • .5 rounds down rather than up.
