We have tried to make a Graphics replacement candidate which uses SVG instead of canvas. SVG should be more efficient than canvas for vector graphics, although benchmarking is ambiguous.
The roadblocks are: - embedding html in svg as a foreign object is extremely inconsistent across browsers - there is no good way of determining the size of text so that other graphics elements can flow around them This makes text input impractical. Note that text input was not robust across browsers in the old Graphics. The first problem is not an ELM problem, but the second one seems solvable. > On Jul 9, 2016, at 6:46 AM, Janis Voigtländer <janis.voigtlaen...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Richard, this is the post I had been remembering: > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/elm-discuss/Y1B6kKdXCNw/5Ky57c-IAQAJ > <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/elm-discuss/Y1B6kKdXCNw/5Ky57c-IAQAJ> > Sounds like these are other folks, aside from CircuitHub, that have been > using Graphics.* in production (but I don’t know for sure what your > definition of “in production” is; does an in-house tool count?).
