Render HTML in Canvas/WebGL

Question

Is it possible to render HTML elements in Canvas or WebGL? (similar to how one can draw a video element texture in WebGL)

Answer 1

Use this library https://github.com/PixelsCommander/HTML-GL it is as easy as wrap your content with <html-gl> tag.

Answer 2

There is an attempt that can do the work near 80%. Fail to render dropdownlist, buttons and some more, but mostly items from the page are rendered.

See and download it from here.

You should also check out http://robert.ocallahan.org/2011/11/drawing-dom-content-to-canvas.html

It might throw a security error in Chrome but works fine in Firefox.

Answer 4

No, it's currently not possible, not yet. But it is planned to include this functionality as pointed out in a video from 3rd WebGL Camp (at about 6:44).
