node-canvas

If you're interested in node-compatible canvas implementations: - canvaskit-wasm from the skia project - I don't think it's gpu-accelerated: https://github.com/google/skia/tree/main/modules/canvaskit/n... - @napi-rs/canvas - This is the fastest binding: https://github.com/Brooooooklyn/canvas?tab=readme-ov-file#pe... - node-canvas - Uses Cairo instead of Skia: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

[...] ECharts was originally a Baidu project, released under https://github.com/ecomfe/echarts (ecomfe = "E-commerce frontend"?). They still maintain some of the auxiliary libraries. I've been using it since around ... 2018-ish[0]? ... as a replacement for Google Charts. It was my first time using a big library from one of the Chinese tech giants -- basic docs and tutorials in English, then all the advanced stuff (and comments) written in Chinese. I was impressed by how comprehensive the charts library was, and how they'd obviously invested a lot of brainwork into the configuration system. IMO it's one of the highest-quality data visualizatio

I’ll be excited for the day when support for worker threads is more widespread. Tried to use them with Node Canvas a few months ago but it’s not context aware[1] so had to go back to forking processes. Intriguing to see someone in this thread say they already work with TFjs.

don't need all of headless chrome to use the canvas. can just use node-canvas. https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

Everything used to be just an HTML5 canvas, but since Automattic made a canvas renderer in Node I was able to use that: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

Cool. Nice, creative work. Indexed PNGs seem unfortunately under utilized. I happen to have just opened a PR to support indexed PNGs in node-canvas (HTML Canvas impl for node) based roughly on the proposed pixelFormat API [1,2] for the same reason that the space savings can be immense. It's also straightforward to change the palette of an indexed PNG after it's encoded because you don't need to re-compress the body. This lets you do cool tricks with recoloring images.

Node-canvas provides a compliant Canvas implementation: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

We could make an HTML-Canvas-compliant library that renders SVG. In fact, I already enabled one: https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas

Author here. This application uses CamanJS [1] which depends on Node-Canvas [2], a Node implementation of the Canvas API. So all the cool things you can do with Canvas in the browser you can also do on the server side. But I see your point. Love what you can do in the browser these days.

node-canvas [0], node.js, and processing.js are a very powerful combination for allowing designers to implement server-side image filters. [0]: https://github.com/LearnBoost/node-canvas

If it's not immediately clear, the purpose of the game is for you and everyone else online to collaboratively (or individually, but it's more fun if you work together) draw the image it asks for at the top and bottom of the screen. It saves every image (you can watch previous images by hovering over the image to draw) when a few HNers have used it I'll create a gallery :) It's also available as a chrome app[1] and have been tested on the iPhone (every version) the iPad and a few Androids :) In case anyone is curious it's running on an ubuntu server with 512 ram. It's heavily dependent on Socket.IO and is using the canvas module[2] to create and save the images. [1] http://goo.gl/W1MYL [2] https://github.com/learnboost/node-canvas
