Gradient Resource with CanvasRenderer?

[arvnik]

Hi!

I'm currently working on a project where I need a resizable gradient texture to apply as a background to one of my sprites. I've been following the example for how to create a Gradient Resource from the documentation (https://pixijs.io/examples/#/textures/gradient-resource.js), which is working fine as long as I have WebGL enabled. When using the CanvasRenderer, however, the sprite renders without any background. This seems to be due to the upload method never getting called from CanvasRenderer.render but even if I call it explicitly it just breaks (since the gl propery isn't available on CanvasRenderer). Is there a way to achieve the same using the CanvasRenderer? I've been fiddling around with renderer.plugins.prepare in order to somehow do the upload manually but can't quite get it working. Does anyone have any experience with this? What am I missing here?

At the moment we dont have fallbacks for texture resources + CanvasRenderer. Why? Because no one implemented it. First we need alternative method that wont call "texImage2d", and second - a place where this upload will actually happen, there's no such place in CanvasRenderer.  

Another example in the same group should work for you.

OK, got it. After some tweaking I got the Gradient Basic example working for my scenario. Thanks!
