[Seaside] javascript canvas

[Yan Laporte]

Yes, but not quite.. What I see in the HTML5 package is just the
canvas tag, not the facilities to draw to this canvas. I'll explain
what I mean with a small example that works without the facilities I
imagine.

html canvas width:100;height:100;script:(
	(((html javascript element) call: #getContext
argument:'2d')assignLocalTo:#myDrawing)
		after:((html javascript alias:#myDrawing) access:#fillStyle;
assign:Color blue);
		after:((html javascript alias:#myDrawing)call:#fillRect
arguments:#(10 10 40 40))).

The code above draws a simple blue square.
Now I far form an expert and I suspect this code could be lighter so I
am open to suggestions.

Now, what I meant by classes to make this easier would beto allow
something along the lines of:
|myCanvas|
...
html canvas width:100;height:10.
(DrawingContext on:myCanvas)
    fillStyle:ColorBlue;
    fillRect:(10 at 10 extent:40 at 40).
Where DrawingContext is this thing that doesn't exist yet...
