[whatwg] proposal: Add support for masking to canvas

[Rik Cabanier]

ah, sorry. I looked at the dictionary for hitregions and assumed that's how
you make something optional in a dict [1]

Second try:

enum CanvasMaskType { luminosity, alpha};
dictionary maskOptions {

CanvasImageSource image;
optional unrestricted double sx;
optional unrestricted double sy;
optional unrestricted double sw;
optional unrestricted double sh;
unrestricted double dx;
unrestricted double dy;
optional unrestricted double dw;
optional unrestricted double dh;
optional CanvasMaskType maskType = "luminosity";
optional boolean invert = false;
optional boolean clipToMask = true;

}

void maskImage(maskOptions options);
void resetMask();

If not specified, the dw and dh arguments must default to the values of sw
and sh, interpreted such that one CSS pixel in the image is treated as one
unit in thescratch bitmap's coordinate space. If the sx, sy, sw, and sh
arguments are omitted, they must default to 0, 0, the image's intrinsic
width in image pixels, and the image's intrinsic height in image pixels,
respectively.
