[whatwg] CanvasRenderingContext2D with addPath, currentPath

[Jürg Lehni]

Rik,

I read through the whole thread again and realized I've caused some redundancy by asking questions that were already answered. Apologies for that. I understand the reason for the check for non-revertible matrices, and should have seen that example mentioned earlier, as it would have prevented me from drawing false conclusions.

But just to clarify: What you wrote on November 2nd is not how the browsers currently behave:

If I test this, store the currentPath, then reset the CTM, and then use the path to draw, I can confirm that it is drawn in the coordinates specified in code, and does not backe the current CTM in:

    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.scale(2, 2);
    ctx.moveTo(10, 10);
    ctx.lineTo(100, 10);
    var p = ctx.currentPath;
    ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
    ctx.currentPath = p;
    ctx.strokeStyle = '#000';
    ctx.lineWidth = 1;
    ctx.stroke();

So Path p contains a line from (10, 10) to (100, 10)
