Hi,

1/ being able to specify every radius for every corner allows you to do what you have specified below, it doues not work other way... why would we want to close that path?

2/ try this

Bronislav,

Give me an use case where we need to specify the x and y radius for
every corner.
Almost all canvas 2d libraries today when drawing rounded rectangles
you need just specify
the corners once and it works pretty well.

Hi,
So why do ve have rect? 4 lines could do it... simple enough...

Canvas is for immediate raster graphics, SVG for retain vector graphics.
  The use is a matter of choice, canvas have been used to create controls,
graphs, diagrams... all could use round rect. But I agree, that idea below
is not very well thought out.
If we would go for round rect (RR), we need the obility to create RR paths
and the ability to create each "corner" different - specify x and y radiuses
for every "corner"

How many rounded rectangles have you ever seen that don't invite
mouseclicks? And then do you really want to try to calculate whether or
not
the mouse event is atop one of those thingies, particularly after it has
been rotated, scaled and skewed?

I'm just not seeing why<canvas>    would need this.

Subject: [whatwg] Canvas roundedRect

Currently, canvas2d does not have support for rounded rectangles and the
web
developers are implementing rounded rectangles using arcs or bezier
curves.[1][2] So i propose the addition of two new functions:

void fillRoundedRect(unrestricted double x, unrestricted double y,
unrestricted double w, unrestricted double h, unrestricted double xRadius,
unrestricted double yRadius); void strokeRoundedRect(unrestricted double
x,
unrestricted double y, unrestricted double w, unrestricted double h,
unrestricted double xRadius, unrestricted double yRadius);

Where the xRadius and yRadius arguments specify the radii of the ellipses
defining the corners of the rounded rectangle.

Additionally, if we know that the path is a rounded rectangle, we can make
optimizations in the graphics libraries reducing the amount of
tesselations.
