Sample application demonstrating a drawing application/sketch techniques for HTML5 Canvas elements. You can read full details how this works at: http://www.tricedesigns.com/2012/01/04/sketching-with-html5-canvas-and-brush-images *lineTo(x,y)********************************************************* The first technique uses the canvas's drawing context moveTo(x,y) and lineTo(x,y) to draw line segments that correspond to the mouse/touch coordinates. Think of this as playing "connect the dots" and drawing a solid line between two points. *brush images******************************************************** The technique for using brush images is identical in concept to the previous example - you are drawing a line from point A to point B. However, rather than using the built-in drawing APIs you are programmatically repeating an image (the brush) from point A to point B. ********************************************************************* Both the lineTo.html and brush.html apps use the exact same code, which just uses a separate rendering function based upon the use case. Feel free to try out the apps on your own using an iPad or in a HTML5 Canvas-capable browser: lineTo sketch: http://tricedesigns.com/portfolio/sketch/lineTo.html brush sketch: http://tricedesigns.com/portfolio/sketch/brush.html ********************************************************************* This sample uses jQuery and Modernizr libraries
