Abstraction layer to do layers on an html canvas element.

Methods:

addLayer( layerObj ) -> add a layer to the canvas. layerObj = { id: whateveryouwant, show: true/false, render: function( canvas, ctx ) {} } The addLayer method is chainable ... so you can do myCanvas.addLayer( {} ).addLayer( {} ).addLayer( {} );

removeLayer( id ) -> returns false if the id is not found

getLayer( id ) -> returns the layer object, so you can update it.

render() -> once you are ready to draw/redraw call this.

Just include layeredCanvas.js to your page. As in <script src="layeredCanvas.js"></script>

1. Make sure your markup has the <canvas id="theId"> element.
2. Create the JS object with the id reference: myLayeredCanvas = new layeredCanvas( "theId" );
3. Add the layers with their content: myLayeredCanvas.addLayer( { id: 'myLayerId', show: true, render: function( canvas, ctx ) { //do the usual canvasy stuff using ctx as context2d or canvas as the actual canvas element } } );
4. Call myLayeredCanvas.render();
