FlashCanvas

An implementation of the HTML5 Canvas API for Internet Explorer.

Description

FlashCanvas is a JavaScript library which adds the HTML5 Canvas support to Internet Explorer. It renders shapes and images via Flash drawing API, and in many cases, runs faster than other similar libraries which use VML or Silverlight.

Requirements

• Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Adobe Flash Player 9 or later

Usage

FlashCanvas consists of JavaScript, Flash and PHP files:

• flashcanvas.js
• flashcanvas.swf
• canvas2png.js (helps you to save a canvas image)
• proxy.php (used to load a file from other domain)
• save.php (used to save a canvas image)

These files can be found in the bin directory in this distribution package. To install FlashCanvas, copy these files into some directory on a Web server, and then add the following HTML code between and tags on your web page.

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://github.com/andreyz30001/flashcanvas/raw/master/path/to/flashcanvas.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

That's all you have to do in most cases. For more details, please read the online manual at the project page.
