A tiny (< 100 LoC) library for trimming whitespace from a `canvas` element with no dependencies.

## Installation

`npm i -S trim-canvas`

## Usage

```javascript

import trimCanvas from 'trim-canvas'

const canvas = document.createElement('canvas')

// do some drawing on it ...

trimCanvas(canvas)

// now the whitespace has been trimmed

```

If you don't want to mess with your existing canvas, then simply clone the canvas element beforehand.

`trim-canvas` returns the canvas element for easy chaining.

## Example

Can see how `trim-canvas` is used inside of `react-signature-canvas` [here](https://github.com/agilgur5/react-signature-canvas/blob/310bff81813509a4035bedfe50d76e7045a880cb/src/index.js#L53-L64).

It includes a step for cloning the canvas.

## Demo

You can see a demo of `trim-canvas` [here](https://agilgur5.github.io/react-signature-canvas/).

*(N.B. this is the demo for [`react-signature-canvas`](https://github.com/agilgur5/react-signature-canvas) which depends on `trim-canvas`)*
