           Summary: Enhancement: Set component for whole image?

CanvasPixelArray requires "pixel's red, green, blue, and alpha components being
given in that order for each pixel."

However in many cases, anyone one or more of these components may be common to
all the pixels in the image, for instance the alpha may be common to all
pixels, or as at http://www.peepo.com, only red is varied with green = 127,
blue = 127  and alpha = 63 for all canvas pixels.

if this isn't appropriate please could someone in the WG please clarify why
this is best done by setting all four components, for each and every pixel? or
perhaps more likely, what aspect I have failed to understand?
