Solutions to speed up rendering time under IE? #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

This is not actually a bug in a true sense.

We are trying to render a text inside canvas and the speed of the library
in IE is awful.

We basically need the ability: to draw a text, resize it and rotate it.
We do not need more than one font.

In short is there anything we should do to speed up text rendering in IE?

We can even "donate" some time to the project and help you with this.

Hello, 
rendering time under IE can only be reduced by using a recent version of the 
ExCanvas 
library that uses VML text drawing instead of lots of VML line drawing. Sadly, 
there 
are issues when using specific font families or font weights, see Issue 4. 

There are a few other libraries that add canvas support in IE, like fxcanvas or 
flashcanvas, they both use Flash but still have a reduced text drawing support 
as they 
are really young.
