Components

MFD

Top level helper class managing all related components.

ImageSource

An ImageSource will be an invisible Canvas representing the video/graphics output of a display.

var ImageSource = {
 new: func(x,y) {

  var m = {parents:[ImageSource]};
  m.canvas = canvas.new({
  "name": "ImageSource-"~name,   
  "size": [x, y], 
  "view": [x, y],  
  "mipmapping": 1       

 });
 return m;
 },
 del: func() {
 },
};

Screen

A Screen will merely be a placeholder for another Canvas referenced via canvas:// - so that arbitrary placements can be used to display a MFD screen.

var Screen = {
 new: func() {
 },
 attach: func(source) {
 },
 del: func() {
 },
};

ImageSourceSelector

A helper class to manage multiple image sources and hook them up to screens - i.e. for allowing MFDs to be shown on different screens.
