如何在html5中插入动画,为什么在html5中使用canvas进行动画制作？

The canvas element is interesting and

worthy of focus because it enables,

for the first time,direct drawing of

graphics within a browser without the

use for an external plugin like Flash

or Java. The beauty of canvas is that

it’s controlled entirely via simple

JavaScript code,meaning it builds on

the powerful functionality JavaScript

already provides and doesn’t require a

crazy learning curve to use.

Choosing to experiment with canvas

over other new elements was simply

down to it’s functionality as a

graphics platform,which inherently

makes it a potentially interesting and

rich platform to play with. It was

decided that pushing the flexible

canvas element would produce the most

interesting results that we can use in

the application.

Another deciding factor for choosing

canvas was to test the animation

capabilities and the possibility of it

being a potential Flash replacement.

Now Flash obvIoUsly has features that

canvas could never emulate,however

it’s an exciting concept nonetheless

to see exactly what could be achieved

with canvas that would normally be

done by reaching for Flash.
