Objective

Background
The FlightGear forum has a subforum related to: Canvas |
What is a Canvas
Here's the main concept (found by googling "canvas 2D"): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canvas_element
In FlightGear, things are a bit different, mainly in that [2]:
- a Canvas represents an actual OpenGL texture (2D)
- is hardware-accelerated
- is using OSG for most of its features
- there is an actual scenegraph
- uses Nasal instead of ECMAScript/JavaScript
