HTML5 fallback graphics #4

Open valo opened 14 years ago

What do you think about this idea: be able to render flash or HTML5 graphics with the same APIs from the lib? Any ideas of an HTML5 rendering engine? This is going to work great for apps that want to be compatible with iPad/iPhone

I agree, we will definitely need to be in the ability to support another kind of render that (as you said) is gonna work great for iPad/iPhone based apps. Before starting to work on this I think the plugin should be converted to a gem (I'm gonna work on that issue in the next days). After that we can start the development of the HTML5 support, how about that?

Sounds great! I was thinking that it should be converted to a gem, so that will be great.

Yesterday I did some research on HTML5 graph libraries and I found only this: http://www.rgraph.net/. Unfortunately the license is not exactly free, which I guess will be a problem.

actually there are some nice solutions out there that I found today. For example this one: http://g.raphaeljs.com/

hey! yep there are some nice solutions out there and definetely Raphael is one of them.

Anyways we should convert the plugin to a gem, and from that point we will see what else to support (if necessary).
