Canvas displays are the paradigm for pixel art that happens to show live data. Process diagrams, P&IDs, equipment layouts, architectural overviews. Every element has an explicit Left / Top / Width / Height and you compose by placement, layering, and grouping (The Canvas displays is resolution  independent vector graphics, pixel alt is just the analogy to explain).

Use Canvas when:

• The display shows equipment in a spatial layout (pipe A connects to pump B connects to tank C)
• The visual language is P&ID / process flow (operators scan it as a schematic)
• Custom shapes and line work matter
• You need the full set of dynamics (RotateDynamic, ScaleDynamic, MoveDragDynamic, SkewDynamic, BargraphDynamic are Canvas-only)
