# Canvas

Represents a surface to draw pictures into.

There are higher level behaviours that you can use directly in the Unity editor. Use this class if you need direct control of the lifecycle of the Canvas and its backing Texture.

# Examples

Make a Canvas and immediately clear it to blue.
var canvas = new Vellum.Canvas(width, height);
var picture = canvas.makePicture();
picture.clear(Color.blue);
picture.submit(this);

Make a software Canvas.
var canvas = new Vellum.Canvas(width, height, true);

# Constructors

int	width The width in pixels of the backing texture.
