Say I have a canvas, which is an image with a source of null.

Upon touching the canvas, is there any way to return the X and Y position? Or its raw position in that plane?

function OnStart()

{

lay = app.CreateLayout("linear", "VCenter, FillXY")

txt = app.AddText(lay, "waiting\n",-1,-1,"multiline")

img = app.AddImage( lay,null,0.8, 0.8 )

img.SetBackColor( "#cc22cc" )

img.SetOnTouchDown(img_OnTouch)

app.AddLayout(lay)

}

function img_OnTouch( ev )

{

var msg = ev.X + "\n" + ev.Y

txt.SetText( msg )

Or if you are working with an HTML5 canvas you may want to look at Touch_events
