Canvas Pixel Manipulation (v34)

Revision 34 of this benchmark created on

Description

Tests two different methods of manipulating pixels using the canvas.

Preparation HTML

<canvas id="canvas" height="600" width="600">
</canvas>

Setup

var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
    var canvasWidth = canvas.width;
    var canvasHeight = canvas.height;
    var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
    var imageData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, canvasWidth, canvasHeight);
    
    var data = imageData.data;
    
    
    var buf = new ArrayBuffer(imageData.data.length);
    var buf8 = new Uint8ClampedArray(buf);
    var data32 = new Uint32Array(buf);

Teardown


    ctx.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);
