how is it possible that the canvas seems to be infinite area?


I suspect some type of minecraft style chunking mechanism.


This needs an answer!


There's nothing special about it really. Blobs of text have a grid position, then I set the CSS left/top properties to gridX * gridWidth etc and the scrolling is done by CSS translate on the parent container div. The browser handles it all for me
