HTML Canvas To Image

HTML 5 is one of the hot topics in Web Development, because it introduced many new tags..
You can get more information about new tags in HTML 5 at here.
This post is about how can you generate image from Canvas tag in HTML 5.

Though there are some of the JavaScript Libraries on web which can generate image from canvas, I am posting the way which I think is very easy to create an image from canvas.
From http://www.w3.org
url = canvas . toDataURL( [ type, ... ])

Returns a data: URL for the image in the canvas.

The first argument, if provided, controls the type of the image to be returned (e.g. PNG or JPEG). The default is image/png; that type is also used if the given type isn't supported. The other arguments are specific to the type, and control the way that the image is generated, as given in the table below.

Using toDataURL and window.open method we can generate image from canvas element.
Following code does it for you-
var canvas=document.getElementById("canvasID");
window.open(canvas.toDataURL());
Simple, isn't it?

Java Tools Plugin for Notepad++

This post and the plugin is outdated. Please use plugin from this link which is updated and allows customization of shortcut key mappings and much more . Notepad++ is a great free editor.

I am working on this plugin to make it more effective, so that if user have more than one installations of JDK or JRE then user should be able to choose which one to use etc. This is a simple plugin which has two commands- Compile - compiles a java file.
