Creating object in RaphaelJS

Question

Is it possible to create Raphael's object but not drawing it on paper?

In example, i want to create circle, do some actions and show it on callback of actions.

Answer 1

You would need what is called an "offscreen canvas", something that is currently not implemented in html5 (some people talk about it).

Maybe you can create a canvas and set the css to display: none or visibility: hidden, and copy the image data from one canvas to the other.
