Feature request: ImageBitmap input for faster rendering

[alikaramiarak-dev]

Hi 👋,
I’m visualizing WRF model outputs with your library, and for high-frame-rate timelines, rendering can get slow.
It would be great to support ImageBitmap as a texture input, which would allow faster GPU uploads and smoother, more responsive rendering.
This change would help with real-time updates and high-resolution data visualization.
Thanks for considering!

Hi,

Can you show a sample code how are you loading the image currently that you have the performance issue?

I'm afraid that providing GPU-only ImageBitmap won't be possible, because this library needs to access it on CPU as well for certain use cases. Even if ImageBitmap were accepted as input, it would need to be read into a typed array internally. That's why the input is a typed array already.
