I have some work-in-progress 0.18 canvas drawing code (see [http://vllmrt.net/puzzles/152-masyu-notouch/index.html](http://vllmrt.net/puzzles/152-masyu-notouch/index.html)) that I’d like to port to 0.19, and could use some help with my approach.

The old code uses [evancz/elm-graphics](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/evancz/elm-graphics/1.0.1), which has not been updated for 0.19. (On that note, it would be great if [package.elm-lang.org](http://package.elm-lang.org) could list the elm version. Currently, it seems you need to try `elm install` to find out whether a package exists in 0.19.)

The best option right now seems to be the SVG-backed [timjs/elm-collage](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/timjs/elm-collage/latest/Collage#images-and-html), but it’s a bit hard to tell whether that would do the job.

Does anyone here have experience with `timjs/elm-collage` as a substitute for `evancz/elm-graphics`? Does SVG cause trouble compared to canvas as a backend?
