           Summary: update skia's interface to leverage the circle drawing
                    hardware support
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Canvas
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: guanqun.lu at intel.com


I've been implementing the feature to draw circles directly via GPU shaders. Here's the skia side issue: http://codereview.appspot.com/5696086/

But in order to be able to use this feature, we need to change interface in WebKit a little bit. We need to call addCircle() directly when we detect it's a circle. Otherwise, in skia side, it has no idea whether it's a circle or not and it won't leverage this powerful feature.

The changes in WebKit and skia are quite de-coupled. Either side can take the patch first, without hurting the other. :)
