+     *  The caller can access the pixels after drawing into this canvas by
+     *  calling readPixels() or peekPixels().

+     *  On failure, return NULL. This can fail for several reasons:
+     *  1. the memory allocation failed (e.g. request is too large)
+     *  2. invalid ImageInfo (e.g. negative dimensions)
+     *  3. unsupported ImageInfo for a canvas
