i researching graphics use project, , raphael.js came top contender. however, when reading sample code , documentation, shows raphael creates canvas (via paper variable on homepage), , add stuff it. 2 months later, passerby comes , ask question our project, , explained didn't use raphael (instead chose static svg , d3) because raphael used canvas's, , our project have been disadvantaged using canvas's. raphael expert's out there, canvas in raphael actual html canvas or not? , can link it, you/and or can send pull request explain better upfront.
no raphael's paper svg
.
it kinda strange, because paper object property called canvas
contains svganimatedstring
