Is there a Javascript library which has built-in features for quickly creating a Paint-like web application using the canvas element?
EDIT: So, far, I have found Javascript libraries that allow easy animation of canvas elements -- such as Raphael JS -- and Javascript tutorials for creating simple Paint apps, but no robust libraries for Paint-like applications.
EDIT 2: I found a Javascript tutorial on a pretty nice looking Paint app using the canvas element. I'd still like to see what others have found.
<canvas> is an HTML element which can be used to draw graphics via scripting (usually JavaScript).
Raphaël doesn't use Canvas. It uses SVG on browsers that support it or VML on Internet Explorer.
If you want an SVG solution designed specifically for drawing then take a look at:
See this demo.
If you want to use Canvas but you need a retained mode rendering then see:
Literally Canvas fits this exact purpose: http://literallycanvas.com
"Literally Canvas is an extensible, open source (BSD-licensed), HTML5 drawing widget...You can use it to embed drawing boards in web pages."
