If restart is set to true, then the first frame is loaded - otherwise, it moves one frame forward from the last time drawImage was called on the same picture. And when the last frame is reached, the behaviour depends on the image's loop settings.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: At the risk of missing the obvious, what's the use case? Is this just to make drawing animated sprites easier? It seems like in most cases animated sprites are going to have to jump around from animation to animation and in practice are unlikely to just spin around a single set of frames... in fact, it seems frankly easier just to write the 4 or 5 line function to do animation manually, and just yank the frames from a larger sprite image where the frames are all given in a long strip.
