Wow, bummer -- that's a surprise and disappointment to me that the canvas 2d API isn't more like PostScript in that way. Filling then stroking the same path is a very common operation. NeWS's dialect of PostScript (but not standard Adobe PostScript) had currentpath / setpath operators to save and restore the current path as a first class object, so you could use it any number of times later in different contexts. I wish the canvas 2d api had that too, plus some set operations on regions. http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/sun/NeWS/NeWS_1.1_Man... It'd be fun and worth coding up a WebGL renderer, I think! Then you can pass all the points in one big chunk of memory, and draw it from any direction, with lighting and shadows! |
