Graphical editor using Javascript
Question by aakashbhowmick
I want to make an online card-making application. It should basically allow users to place available images into the template of the card, write text on it and decorate it – basic card customization. What javascript graphics library would be useful for this project ? Finally I would like to have a high resolution/vector image as the output which can be printed easily.

Raphael is great for SVG, etc. http://raphaeljs.com

To have a high resolution/vector image, you have to work with SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), so far the web browser only support this. There are two ways you can do these.
- Looking up for canvas libraries. I prefer Raphael as it supports SVG and animations as well.
- With HTML5 and its Canvas features also you can create such system.
