Last Call: HTML Canvas 2D Context



   14 May 2015

   <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4692>



   The HTML Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft

   of "HTML Canvas 2D Context." This specification defines the 2D

   Context for the HTML canvas element. The 2D Context provides

   objects, methods, and properties to draw and manipulate

   graphics on a canvas drawing surface. Comments are welcome

   through 11 June. Learn more about the HTML Activity.

Since we did not receive any objections to this CfC, this CfC passes.

The Canvas Editors and W3C Team contacts will now coordinate publication of this Last Call Working Draft.

Subject: CfC: Return Canvas2D to Last Call


The HTML Chairs are issuing a Call for Consensus to return Canvas2D to Last Call.  The document can be found here:

http://www.w3.org/2015/04/2dcontext-lc-sample.html



For convenience, a diff is at

http://www.w3.org/2015/04/2dcontext-lc-diff.html



Silence will be taken to mean there is no objection, but positive responses are encouraged. If there are no objections by Monday May 11, this resolution will carry.



The Chairs propose that this document be published no earlier than on Tue May 12 and that the Last Call period run for 4 weeks until Tue Jun 9.



The proposed Last Call Working Draft outlines the changes made that cause this specification to return to Last Call:



     Changes causing the progression back to Last Call
This Last Call Working Draft incorporates changes made by the Canvas Accessibility Sub-Group<https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Canvas> (minutes<https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Canvas/Meetings/Minutes#Canvas_Accessibility_Teleconferences:_2014>) and agreed in November 2014<http://www.w3.org/2014/10/30-html-wg-minutes.html#item12>.
One additional step (step 12) was added to the addHitRegion()<http://www.w3.org/2015/04/2dcontext-lc-sample.html#dom-context-2d-addhitregion> invocation algorithm since it should inform the user of the new location for the fallback element based on the associated hit region (bug 27263<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27263>).
