# Pixel-Perfect ToolKit This library aims to solve two problems in web-development, that are notoriously hard to both solve at once: - support for mobile devices (high-DPI, multi-touch, etc.) - pixel-perfect control, notably for [pixel fonts](https://github.com/adri326/online-pixel-font-creator) ## Limitations ### Canvases must be contained Because canvases must have an integer width and height, and because `window.devicePixelRatio` may be a floating-point value. For instance, if `dpr = 1.5` and the desired with is `81` CSS pixels, then the desired canvas width would be `81 * 1.5 = 121.5`. Naively setting `canvas.width = 121.5` results in the browser truncating it to `121`, which only cover `121 / 1.5 ≈ 80.66` CSS pixels, resulting in blurred edges as the element has to be stretched horizontally by `0.4%`. Instead, we set `canvas.width = Math.ceil(121.5) = 122`, then set `canvas.style.width` to `122 / 1.5 ≈ 81.33px`. This requires a parent "container" element to read the desired width from and to hide the overflowing `0.33` CSS pixel. This is what the container element should have as style: ```css .container { /* Necessary properties */ overflow: hidden; /* Optionally set a different background color to reduce flicker */ background-color: /* ... */; /* Width and height should be set to anything besides `fit-content` */ width: /* ... */; height: /* ... */; } ```
