I'm brand new to javascript animation.  Can I use this library to tween the drawing of lines (lineTo) on the canvas element?  Is there another library out there better suited for that or should I just use plain javascript and requestAnimationFrame ?

Hi and welcome to the forums.

 

I'm not a canvas expert but one choice could be use an onUpdate call to update the pen position so to speak, but I can't remember such experiment here in the forums at least.

 

What I can recommend you is to take a look at the kinetic plugin that of course works with the KineticJS framework. I've seen very amazing stuff done with it and combine with GSAP I'm pretty sure you can get very good results.

 

In this posts Carl gives a little more info on how the plugin works and you can see a couple of very good samples using it:

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Rodrigo.
