canvas - performance of layered canvases vs manual drawImage() -

-

i've written small graphics engine game has multiple canvases in tree(these represent layers.) whenever in layer changes, engine marks affected layers "soiled" , in render code lowest affected layer copied parent via drawimage(), copied parent , on root layer(the onscreen canvas.) can result in multiple drawimage() calls per frame prevents rerendering below affected layer. however, in frames nothing changes no rendering or drawimage() calls take place, , in frames foreground objects move, rendering , drawimage() calls minimal.

i'd compare using multiple onscreen canvases layers, described in article:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/wa-canvashtml5layering/

in onscreen canvas approach, handle rendering on per-layer basis , let browser handle displaying layers on screen properly. research i've done , i've read, seems accepted more efficient handling manually drawimage(). question is, can browser determine needs re-rendered more efficiently can, despite insider knowledge of has changed each frame?

i know answer question "do both ways , benchmark." in order accurate data need real-world application, , months away. if have acceptable approach have bigger fish fry. i'm hoping has been down road , can provide insight this.

the browser cannot determine when comes canvas element , rendering passive element - in user rendered means of javascript. thing browser pipe what's on canvas display (and more annoyingly clear time time when bitmap needs re-allocated).

there unfortunately no golden rule/answer best optimization vary case case - there many techniques mentioned merely tools can use still have figure out right tool or right combination of tools specific case. perhaps layered in 1 case , perhaps doesn't bring case.

optimization in general in-depth analysis , break-down of patterns specific scenario, isolated , optimized. process if experiment, benchmark, re-adjust, experiment, benchmark, re-adjust, experiment, benchmark, re-adjust... of course experience reduce process minimum experience specifics comes in variety of combinations still require fine-tuning case case (given not identical).

even if find recipe current project not given work optimal next project. 1 reason no 1 can give exact answer question.

however, when comes canvas want achieve minimum of clear operations , minimum areas redraw (drawimage or shapes). point layers groups elements enable goal.

css - Which browser returns the correct result for getBoundingClientRect of an SVG element? -

-
this svg contains rect overflows svg element: <svg id='svg' width='10' height='10'> <rect x='-10' y='-10' width='30' height='30'/> </svg> chrome 28 , opera 12 return getboundingclientrect() svg element width , height of 10. firefox 23 reports width , height of 30. correct? jsfiddle the relevant spec cssom , delegates svg spec if svg element not "have associated css layout box". haven't found definition of "having associated css layout box", correct result seem hinge on definition, getbbox returns 30x30 rect in browsers. this firefox bug fixed now, fix in firefox nightlies , should make through firefox 33 released on 14 october 2014. see bug 530985 details.
