CSC/CSC 517 Spring 2020/Implement ImageBitMap WebAPI
Background Information
This project aims to contribute to Mozilla's experimental browser engine called Servo, which is implemented in a language called RUST(useful for implementing features that need concurrency and memory safety).
Many of the components of Servo are still under development and one such feature is the ImageBitmap.
Major browsers support the ImageBitmap standard which can be used to create images that are ready to be drawn efficiently to HTML canvas elements. Servo is a new, experimental browser that supports these canvas APIs.
The goal of and motivation behind this project is to implement support for image bitmaps and improve our canvas automated test coverage as a result.

Steps for implementation
Initial Phase
- Step 1: Add a ImageBitmap WebIDL interface to components/script/dom/webidls and Rust implementation in components/script/dom/imagebitmap.rs
- Step 2: Add and implement the createImageBitmap method that takes no extra x/y/w/h parameters in component/script/dom/webidls/Window.webidl, handling the HTMLCanvasElement and OffscreenCanvas types from the possible image sources
Subsequent phase
- Step 1: Implement several remaining image source types (HTMLImageElement, ImageData, ImageBitmap)
- Step 2: Implement the createImageBitmap overload that accepts x/y/w/h parameters
- Step 3: Implement support for ImageBitmaps as canvas image sources in components/script/canvas_state.rs

Details about current work on implementation
Among the remaining steps in the initial and subsequent phases, the focus will be on step 2 of initial phase and once there is progress made on this step, implementation of the subsequent steps will take place.
