What offscreen document reason should I use for this?

[get.yo...@gmail.com]

I need to do this in an offscreen document:

let img = new Image("...data url...")

What reason should I specify?

Hi,

Could you elaborate on the use case for doing this?

I also saw your messages about not being able to post here - sorry about that. We have a moderation queue for new authors and it can take a little longer for one of us to see it over the weekend. Any future messages you post should go through.

Thanks,

Thanks for fixing the auto-delete problem.

There's a mistake in the code. It should be like this:

let img = new Image(width, height)
img.src = ". . . DATA URL . . ."

I need to convert an image given as a data URL into the corresponding pixel data so I can paint it into an offscreen canvas. Then I will do additional manipulations on the canvas.

If you can convert the data URI to a Blob, you can create an ImageBitmap with it and draw it into the OffscreenCanvas, I think?

And then I suppose you have no need for an offscreen document.

Sadly ImageBitmap doesn't support all image formats that HTMLImageElement supports, such as SVG images, so I cannot use it.
