Is there a way to save a canvas element’s content to data such as binary? I’m looking to be able to redraw this data when needed.
Not really sure on how to go about it..
Thanks so much!!

You should be able to save the image into a variable like so:
var imageVar = canvasObject.toDataURL();, and restore it again by callingcanvasObject.drawImage(imageVar);I haven’t tested it yet, but the spec says it should work.
