Features

• 2D and 3D Graphics Rendering - Draws complex visual elements including shapes, text, and images using a hierarchical node structure.
• Declarative Scene Graphs - Maps reactive React component trees to an underlying object-oriented graphics scene graph.
• Canvas Components - Provides a declarative React component model for building interactive 2D graphical interfaces with shapes and images.
• 2D Vector Graphics Libraries - Provides a comprehensive framework for building interactive visual applications with custom shapes and vector-based drawing.
• Canvas State Management - Synchronizes the visual state of the scene graph with application data, supporting transformations and state snapshots.
• Canvas Vector Rendering - Draws geometric primitives, custom paths, and text onto a canvas using a declarative component model.
• Canvas Rendering Engines - Acts as a rendering engine that translates vector-based graphics and component trees into pixel-based images on a canvas.
• Custom Shape Rendering - Renders complex geometric shapes, custom paths, and filtered images using a declarative, reactive data-flow.
• Shape Rendering - Draws geometric primitives, text, and custom shapes on a canvas using a declarative syntax.
• HTML5 Canvas Libraries - Provides a declarative React wrapper around the HTML5 Canvas API for managing complex 2D shapes and graphics.
• Image Graphics Rendering - Loads external image files and draws them onto a graphics layer using an asynchronous loading hook.
• Interactive Graphics Toolsets - Ships a comprehensive toolset for implementing drag-and-drop, multi-touch gestures, and real-time graphical transformations.
• Object-Oriented Graphics APIs - Renders geometric shapes and graphics on a canvas using an object-oriented approach for flexible manipulation.
• Rendering Caches - Implements rendering caches that store complex vector drawings as raster images to optimize redraw performance.
• Rendering Layer Isolation - Distributes graphic elements across multiple canvas layers to limit the area needing redrawing for higher performance.
• Canvas Abstractions - Wraps raw canvas drawing calls into stateful objects that manage their own properties and styles.
• State-Synchronized Bindings - Binds a graphics engine to React components to automatically synchronize visual canvas state with application data changes.
• Canvas Interaction Mapping - Maps a declarative React component tree to an underlying scene graph, translating canvas coordinates into interaction events.
• Interaction and Event Handling - Provides a comprehensive system for listening to pointer and touch events to create responsive graphical user interfaces.
• Drag and Drop Interactions - Provides built-in functionality allowing users to interactively move and reposition canvas objects via drag-and-drop.
• Reactive State Managers - Updates graphics and shapes automatically through a reactive data-flow model using state and props.
• Visual Element Transforms - Offers interactive visual handles to rotate, scale, and translate graphic nodes within the canvas coordinate space.
• Canvas State Serialization - Converts the hierarchical scene graph into JSON format for saving and restoring visual application states.
• Canvas Scaling - Provides capabilities to adjust the canvas stage and its contents to fit different screen sizes and orientations.
• Canvas Exporters - Converts canvas graphics into data URLs, image data, or image objects for external use.
• UI Hierarchy Organizers - Implements a parent-child scene graph that allows nesting of graphical elements and manages event bubbling through the hierarchy.
• Shape Drawing - Allows the definition of unique graphic elements via custom drawing functions that interact with the canvas context.
• Layer-Backed Rendering Optimization - Organizes shapes into separate canvas elements to prevent static backgrounds from re-rendering.
• High-Volume Rendering - Efficiently draws thousands of graphical elements on a canvas while maintaining interactive responsiveness.
• Hit Detection Optimizations - Implements performance gains by turning off mouse and touch detection for specific layers to reduce hit-detection CPU cycles.
• Canvas Filters - Applies pixel-based image processing and rendering effects to graphical elements using cached versions of the nodes.
• Clipping Regions - Restricts the visibility of child elements to custom-defined geometric regions using clipping functions.
• High-Frame-Rate Rendering - Optimizes the rendering of thousands of shapes through graphic caching and layer management to maintain high frame rates.
• Canvas Pan and Zoom Controls - Implements scrolling, zooming, and infinite panning behaviors to navigate large graphic areas.
• Custom Animation Loops - Allows updating graphic properties on every frame using a timing function to produce smooth, custom motion.
• Canvas Animations - Provides built-in tools for creating smooth property transitions and dynamic movement of canvas elements over time.
• Configurable Property Animators - Implements property animation with configurable duration and easing functions to transition graphics between states.
• Canvas Layer Management - Controls the visual stacking order of canvas elements by manipulating the sequence of components.
• Graphic Coordinate Positioning - Provides precise control over the coordinates and origin points of shapes to determine their exact position on the canvas.
• Event Propagation Systems - Provides a system to propagate pointer and touch interactions from individual nodes up through the scene hierarchy.
• Drag Event Callbacks - Provides configuration hooks and callbacks that execute custom logic when drag-and-drop operations start, move, or end.
• Canvas Element Interactions - Handles complex user interactions including clicking, resizing, and dragging on individual canvas elements.
• Rendering Optimization Techniques - Reduces drawing overhead by disabling high-precision modes and adjusting pixel ratios for retina displays.
• Multi-Touch Gesture Systems - Supports complex multi-finger touch inputs for behaviors like pinch-to-zoom and scaling of canvas elements.
• Visual Canvas Editors - Implements interactive features for a visual canvas, including dragging, resizing, rotating, and selecting objects.
• Multi-Element Selection - Enables grouping and simultaneous manipulation of multiple graphics via selection rectangles and modifier keys.
• Server-Side Rendering - Generates canvas-based visuals, charts, and documents in a server environment without requiring a browser DOM.
• Canvas and Graphics - Canvas drawing library with Konva framework bindings.
