This patch moves the <canvas> implementation from XUL Box Object ghetto land
into a real HTML element, complete with hooks into DOM goodness and better paint
semantics, where we might actually not be slow as molasses on most platforms.
It's turned on whenever --enable-cairo is turned on, and builds with the in-tree
cairo (and, in theory, with any system cairo). Stuart's working on making cairo
build on windows, because it's a tossup as to whether that will work right now.
The patch defines a few new things, along with associated sprinkled code to make
things like the html parser recognize <canvas> as a tag, to get the right DOM
ClassInfo for the various canvas interfaces, etc.
layout/generic/nsHTMLCanvasFrame -- a simple frame impl that can display a
single ImageFrame
dom/public/idl/html/nsIDOMHTMLCanvasElement.idl -- the base <canvas> element
content/html/content/src/nsHTMLCanvasElement.cpp -- <canvas> HTML element impl
content/canvas/* -- new content subdir composing the Canvas interfaces, and the
future place for future canvas context work (e.g. 3d)
Could use some reviews especially on the nsHTMLCanvasFrame and HTMLCanvasElement
impl.

The code to convert from an cairo_image_surface to a gfxIImageFrame isn't going
to work on windows or mac. Windows needs the data to be upside down BGR and mac
needs XRGB (or is it RGBX?). The other option here would be to get the
nsIRenderingContext's nsIDrawingSurface and QI it to platform specific versions
like nsIDrawingSurfaceWin, get the DC and create a windows cairo surface and
move_to(), show_surface() the image surface on to it. That said, it doesn't
look like all platforms have their own drawing surface interface...

Patch fixes the content element - frame relationship to be more sane; things
like "display: none" and the like are correctly handled now, as well as resizes
of the canvas. CSS colors are also correctly parsed now (requires separate
ParseColorString patch).
The image frame rendering bits pavlov pointed out aren't fixed yet; that's
coming up next.

In the cairo_* function calls, about half use |foo()| while the other half use
|foo ()|. Aside from that, the patch looks correct. I think we should get it
in the tree for some further testing.

This should probably be NS_ENSURE_TRUE so it gives an assertion. Also, it's

No need for this to be virtual since you're not inheriting from nsLeafFrame.
In fact, probably no need for it at all.
More later, perhaps...
And there are a bunch of places where you used NS_METHOD instead of NS_IMETHODIMP.

Will be landing this tonight, hopefully; any comments, please speak up :).. pav
cought a NS_IMETHODIMP, and there's also some extraneous #if 0's and fprintf's
in that patch that i'll take out before committing. (Various people have looked
over bits and pieces of this as appropriate.)
What's the purpose of the nsICanvasRenderingContext interface? Couldn't you make
nsIDOMHTMLCanvasElement.getCanvas return an nsISupports and then just have
nsICanvasRenderingContext2D. The interface is less then ideal with one scripted
and one unscripted function.
Also nsICanvasRenderingContext2D should probably be named
nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D to follow the naming convention of other DOM
interfaces. Also we do some magic on interfaces whos names start with 'nsIDOM'
which you probably want ('CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.foo = bar' would
work in script for example). The same applies to nsICanvasPattern and
nsICanvasGradient

Is this safe to do given that aContextId comes from script? I can't think of any
risks offhand, but it feels a bit scary to instantiate a contract-id partially
comming from script.
It seems we only do that when we want to extend objects that already have a w3c
interface, like nsIDOMNSRange. We havn't done it for nsIDOMWindow or
nsIDOMPluginArray. I'm not entierly sure when we want to use nsIDOM and when we
don't, i'd love to get a second oppinion from jst or peterv.

I /think/ it's ok, because we have a full contractid before the bit we just
append as the "id" element. To be sure, we can probably limit aContextId to
[A-Za-z0-9_-].
The entire thing feels a bit overengineered though, are there really enough
frozen interfaces for anyone to actually write a plugin for this anyway? If not
a simple if(aContextId.EqualsLiteral('id') { foo = new nsContext2D() } would do
just as well IMHO. It doesn't matter that much to me though, as long as we're
not exposing ourselvs to security problems.
Comment 21•20 years ago

I think we're safe here also because we force it to QI to the
nsICanvasRenderingContext interface. Anything with that contract-ID prefix
which QIs appropriately had better be safe to hand back, because that's the only
reason to have that contract ID.
If we had meaningful contract-ID parameterization, that might be worth worrying
about a bit more, but I think we're fine here, and finer still with a
[A-Za-z0-9_-] clamp.
nsICanvasRenderingContext is scriptable too though, but if we move Init to
nsICanvasRenderingContextInternal (which i think we should do anyway) we should
be fine.
Comment 23•20 years ago

As our long history with Java plugins has shown, people can write useful
extensions that are locked to a specific version or set of versions, without
needing the benefit of universally frozen interfaces. I think XForms is in the
same situation.

Yep, this is done; I got rid of nsICanvasRenderingContext entirely, there's just
Internal and 2D now.

Comment 25•20 years ago

Patch that will be landing shortly.
Changes:
- <canvas> is now always valid; the only thing that's enabled by --enable-cairo
is the 2D context itself. This lets us do non-cairo contexts, and lets people
add in contexts via extensions.
- the context ID is clamped to [A-Za-z0-9_-]
- getContext() now returns nsISupports, and nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D.idl
lives in dom/public/idl/canvas.
- no more nsI(DOM)CanvasRenderingContext; nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D
inherits from nsISupports directly, and just implements the "canvas" attribute
that was on nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext before.

dbaron: (with reference to a question you asked on IRC) According to the WHATWG
spec, <canvas> has an end tag and the contents are used as fallback content.
This is critical for accessibility and important for backwards compatibility.
Apple didn't implement this; their <canvas> element has no end tag and renders
both the fallback content and the canvas. (They support alt="", but that's
useless as a backwards compatibility thing since it means browsers have to
support <canvas> in order to not support it, as it were, which is silly.)
I strongly suggest that we stick with what is in the spec, so that accessibility
is addressed and we have a backwards compatibility story. While there is little
to no content out there, we can still do the right thing and force Apple to
change their implementation.

Ian: What should happen when a canvas element is cloned? Should that also clone
the current image?
Vlad: A few things we talked about on irc that's still not changed:
nsHTMLCanvasElement::GetAttributeChangeHint is still there.
nsHTMLCanvasElement::GetWidthHeight no longer needs to deal with attributes of
type eString since you now implement ParseAttribute
Removing the width or height attribute won't clear the image. You need to
implement nsHTMLCanvasElement::UnsetAttr and make
nsHTMLCanvasElement::UpdateImageContainer nuke the current image rather then
just bailing if width/height is 0.
nsHTMLCanvasElement::IsAttributeMapped doesn't return true for width and
height.
Things i found in the new changes:
You might as well make mCurrentContext an
nsCOMPtr<nsICanvasRenderingContextInternal>. Just make sure you QI it (rather
then cast it) to nsISupports before you return it from getContext so that you
return the COM-correct pointer.
I'm not sure it's a great idea to support attribute-mapping for all attributes
that <img> supports. Many of them are just there for backwards compatibility
and there's obviously no such need for canvas. Ian, do you have an oppinion
here? What does apple do.
I also noticed that you need to move the new eDOMClassInfo_HTMLCanvasElement_id
down to the end of the enum. See the comment on line 199.
Comment 31•20 years ago

sicking: Cloning a <canvas> should just do a DOM clone, which always drops the
non-XML data, as far as I can tell. As far as the DOM interface, according to
the WHATWG spec HTMLCanvasElement inherits from HTMLImageElement, but
HTMLImageElement doesn't have any of the presentational crap from yore. Some
attributes in particular have special meaning for <canvas>, e.g. .src doesn't
attribute-map to src="", it just returns a data: URI of a PNG that represents
the current rendering (and does nothing on setting).
I'm not sure that there is any spec that says what should happen with non-DOM
data during a .clone actually. And it's even debatable whether the image is DOM
data in a canvas since you actually create it through DOM. I would think it
could be usefull to have the ability to copy <canvas> images using .clone.
Sorry, should have been more clear what i ment by mapped attributes. I was
talking about attributes that affects style, such as border="5", vspace="10" or
align="left". Should such attributes work on <canvas>. And if so, which ones?
All the ones that work on <img>?
Comment 33•20 years ago

> it could be usefull to have the ability to copy <canvas> images using .clone.
You can drawImage() one on the other.
As for mapping presentational attributes to style, who knows. I'd ideally say
support none of them.
I'm still not convinced that .clone should create an empty image, but this bug
probably isn't the best place to discuss this.
Wrt style-mapped attributes. I'd missed that HTMLCanvasElement inherits
HTMLImageElement. Since that's the case I think we should at least map 'border',
'hspace' and 'vspace' so that those DOM-properties behave like on <img>. As well
as 'width' and 'height' of course. Other then that I agree that we should
probably support as few as possible, meaning none.

Hmm, how else do I get the frame to reconstruct itself? I thought we decided
that until things get rewritten to allow the reuse of the existing frame, that
leaving this in should be fine for now.

I left that in to avoid rocking the boat; but if it's ensured now that I can't
get non-integers (as, I guess, it is with ParseAttribute) I'll take it out.

Right; they're not mapped, so that we can support things like what roc suggested
in the future (specifying a different width/height for presentation using CSS).

Argh! I completely didn't see that comment (in the middle of the enum, no less

HTML Element block, too... I'll fix asap today.

hm, in combination with drawImage, isn't that a security problem? You can read
images from intranet servers that way and send it where you want...

By making IsAttributeMapped return true for width/height we'll reflow the frame
as needed when the attribute changes, which I think will be enough for things to
work.

It's ensured that it'll be an integer if it can be parsed as such. But you still
need to check the datatype just in case someone sets width="hello" (in which
case we should treat it as if the attribute isn't set).

Actually, I just noticed that the spec says that there are default values for
width and height, so we should just use that if the attribute is missing. You
still need to implement UnsetAttr though, so that we revert to the default then.
You probably want to create the image-frame lazily though, so that we don't
create it a bunch of times during parsing of the element.

Even with rocs suggestion we want the attributes to be mapped so that they act
as a default value if no css is specified. So in other words:
<canvas width=100 height=100>
<canvas width=100 height=100 style="width:50px; height:50px">
The first will give a 100x100 display, but in the second the stylerule will
override the mapped attributes and give a 50x50 display.
Makes sense?
Comment 38•20 years ago

So I'm trying to follow what actually landed here (which I gather is different
from the last patch in this bug?). A few issues I see offhand:
1) nsHTMLCanvasElement::GetWidthHeight seems to be doing unnecessary (and
incorrect) work. ParseAttr will ensure here that the width/height are
stored as integers if they're valid nonnegative integers. So this method
shouldn't have to mess with strings. The fact that it does means it'll
return negative widths/heights if those are set; is that desirable
Furthermore, since this isn't dealing with nscoords it should be using
nsIntSize, not nsSize.
2) If #1 is fixed, it looks like you can just use the standard "int attr"
macros (NS_IMPL_INT_ATTR_DEFAULT_VALUE, to be exact) to implement
{Get/Set}{Width/Height}.
3) Could we please document the idl? nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D.idl is a
perfect example of the sort of interface we _don't_ want to be checking in,
imo. We have far too many such written years ago and are now paying the
prince in developer time and effort. If desired I can write up a summary of
issues with the documentation of this interface (all of which come down to
"there isn't any", but I can point out all the places that I think should
have some). If this is supposed to be the same as the similarly named
interface in the whatwg spec, the IDL should say so (and then the whatwg
spec needs vast improvement; I can't see how what's specified there can
possibly be implemented in a reasonable way without constantly asking Hixie
what he means).
4) Width and height don't seem to be mapped into style in the code that was
checked in. That's not good, because it sorta violates the way
presentational attributes should work in CSS.
5) Do we really need a framechange on width/height changes? I would have
thought a reflow would be sufficient.
6) In GetContext(), do we really want to throw INVALID_ARG on OOM?
7) The canvas frame seems to completely ignore CSS for sizing. Is this desired?
8) The canvas frame should implement GetFrameName (from nsIFrameDebug).
9) The canvas frame claims to be splittable, and reflows as if it's splittable,
then completely flubs painting if it's actually split. Either fix the
painting, or don't make it splittable, please.

Boris, most of the things you bring up is stuff that is already worked on
(though 8 and 9 were new to me).
I do defenetly agree about the context2D interface sucking rocks though. The
optional arguments to drawImage is simply not acceptible, and using nsIVariants
(or actually nsISupports which is what we map DOMObject to) is going to be a
pain in the a** for non-script users. But lets fight that out in bug 290845 that
I just filed.

Valid point, drawImage() should probably do a same-origin check.
Comment 43•20 years ago

Regarding what the <img> attributes should do on <canvas>: I really think they
should do nothing. The current text in the spec is:
| The alt DOM attribute shall return the same value as the textContent DOM
| attribute. On setting it must do nothing.
|
| The src attribute must return a data: URI containing a representation of the
| image as a PNG file. [PNG] On setting it must do nothing.
|
| The useMap and isMap DOM attributes inherited from the HTMLImageElement
| interface shall do the same as for img elements.
|
| All the other DOM attributes — align, border, hspace, vspace, longDesc, and
| name — must do nothing on setting and return the empty string on getting.
It's not a problem is we don't implement useMap, isMap, and src for the first
(or even later) versions straight away -- but I really don't think we should
encourage the use of the presentational attributes. Those should IMHO just do
nothing. It would be bad to introduce more presentational crap in 2005.
Well, I do agree introducing presentational attributes in 2005 is bad. But i bet
that we'll end up getting bugs filed against us if there are DOM properties on
canvas that don't do anything. The alternative is to not let HTMLCanvasElement
inherit HTMLImageElement, but that'd uglify the nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D
interface even more.
Comment 45•20 years ago

How about making HTMLImageElement and HTMLCanvasElement both inherit from a
common ancestor? Would that work?
Specwise it would, but we couldn't change that in mozilla since HTMLImageElement
is a frozen interface.
Comment 47•20 years ago
|
||
Changing the inheritance hierarchy in this way would affect ABI compatibility?
(even if the resulting interface was the same?)
Pity.
Ok, what else can we do? Do we really think people are going to try to use these
DOM attributes and complain when they do nothing?
I'm not sure whether the binary C++ ABI would break (it might depend on
platform). However i'm not sure if that is the only compatibility we're
concerned about. In general we don't want to change frozen interfaces at all and
we're talking about some pretty big surgery here. Even if the net sum of the
changes might land on zero.
But i'm also less happy about chaning W3C defined interfaces like this.
In the end I guess I just think that adding these presentational attributes
won't cause that much harm. HTML (and the current incarnation of XHTML) won't be
able to forbid using presentational attributes anytime soon anyway. And all
implementors should have code to do attribute mapping so it wouldn't be too big
of a burdon.
And yes, I do think that people would use these properites and complain about
them not working.

mozillaZine ( http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=6461 ) is
reporting this as having been already checked in, which it doesn’t appear to be
here.
Anyway, is the <canvas> spec stable enough to land this on the trunk, given that
WhatWG spec is still in Working Draft and says "It is very wrong to cite this as
anything other than a work in progress. Do not implement this in a production
product. It is not ready yet! At all!"?
If there is even the slightest possibility of the spec on <canvas> changing, I
don’t think this should land on any of the production builds.

Yes.
We are turning canvas on -- it's already on by now. Get over it. Nothing in a
relatively new spec is set in concrete, but that does not prevent useful work
from being built on it. This is how the Internet protocols, and then the web,
were built. Welcome back to incremental innovation. The lull of six years of
monopoly-induced stagnation is over.

Changing the interface hierarchy of frozen interfaces is verboten.

Is it intended that the canvas element cannot be styled (yet)?
<canvas width="200" height="200" style="border: 1px solid black;">
doesn't get a border (using Firefox 2005-04-20 nightly)...
Please file a bug on that

Note: I'm going to close this bug shortly as the bulk of the canvas impl landed;
the issues remaining that are in this patch I'm going to split off into separate
bugs, so I can tackle them one at a time. Please file any new issues into
separate bugs, Layout: Misc component, assign to me. Thanks!
Please make a note here of all the bugs that you file

Resolving this bug; Canvas has its own "Core -> Layout: Canvas" component now,
so no need to keep track of canvas bugs here.

The Reflow() impl checked in in this bug has a GetPrevInFlow() check which will always test false. You should just remove that code....
