Assigning PIXI a canvas?

[achexi]

In the older versions of pixi I used to be able to create a canvas in my html document and do something like this:

view = document.getElementById('game-canvas');renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer(this.GAME_WIDTH, this.GAME_HEIGHT, view);

However in the newer versions of pixi the canvas simply does not appear on screen. I don't get errors or anything, the only way I can get a canvas is if I let pixi make one for me via something like:

renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer(this.GAME_WIDTH, this.GAME_HEIGHT);document.body.appendChild(renderer.view);

What's changed and what must I do to force PIXI to use a canvas I make on the screen?

You pass the canvas through as a property of an options object, see the info on the pixi github page:

 

*** IMPORTANT - V2 API CHANGES ***

A heads up for anyone updating their version of pixi.js to version 2, as we have changed a couple of bits that you need to be aware of. Fortunately, there are only two changes, and both are small.

1: Creating a renderer now accepts an options parameter that you can add specific settings to:

// an optional object that contains the settings for the renderer
var options = {
view:myCanvas,
resolution:1
};
