Research direction
Investigate the existing canvas method implementations in node canvas, particularly in the src/ directory, to understand patterns for adding new classes and methods. Look at how methods like drawImage are bound to native code. Also explore the possibility of integrating with jsdom as mentioned. Since there are no linked PRs or recent comments, it may be necessary to open a discussion with maintainers to clarify acceptance criteria.
