Compositing example
This sample program demonstrates a number of compositing operations. The output looks like this:

Main program
When the page loads, this code runs to set up and run the example:
window.onload = function() {
// lum in sRGB
var lum = {
r: 0.33,
g: 0.33,
b: 0.33
};
// resize canvas
canvas1.width = width;
canvas1.height = height;
canvas2.width = width;
canvas2.height = height;
lightMix()
colorSphere();
runComposite();
return;
};
And this code, runComposite(), handles the bulk of the work, relying on a number of utility functions to do the hard parts.

canvas.width = width/2;
canvas.height = height/2;
return canvas;
}

var dl = document.createElement("dl");
document.body.appendChild(dl);
while(gco.length) {
var pop = gco.pop();
var dt = document.createElement("dt");
dt.textContent = pop;
