Well you can generate your imagery programmatically and then render it to canvas as a raster image. Canvas is not purely for implementing a web based drawing app.
when you are faced with between rendering hundreds of thousands of SVG DOM element vs in memory generation of a final raster image, the latter will always be more performant.
