Several aircraft developers have manifested their interest in being able to render to a texture (RTT) {{Wikipedia|Render target}} and use it inside cockpits as mirrors, external cameras and other uses. Effects and shaders developers have also reached a point where ignoring RTT is a waste of resources and a limitating factor when creating new effects. Although this Canvas element is directed mainly towards the first need, it is a first step forward in terms of finally exposing Render To Texture capabilities to non-C++ space too.
