So the problem is that <canvas> does not support this at all. It serializes color values using the #rrggbb notation and the CanvasPixelArray is 8-bit bound. I don't really know enough about it to make a good call here I think, but the options as I see them are 1) accept that color components are limited to 8 bits and be compatible with <canvas>; 2) fix <canvas> somehow (how?); 3) accept that <canvas> has limitations. (IE does not appear to use #rrggbb for currentStyle after all.) -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/Received on Thursday, 18 March 2010 10:12:45 UTC
