title: What is the primary purpose of canvas?
body: <p>I'm trying to decide how to implement curved text.</p>
  
  <p>There are two ways it seems.</p>
  
  <p>CSS transformations and Canvas.</p>
  
  <p>I was under the impression that canvas is used for graphics b.c. it runs in immediate mode as shown in this <a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/canvas/performance/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">html5</a> article.</p>
  
  <p>So, I plan on using CSS3 transformations as shown in this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2840862/is-there-a-way-to-curve-arc-text-using-css3-canvas">SO post</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I just wanted to confirm or not confirm the primary purpose of canvas - that it is for efficient graphics.</p>
