HTML Preparation code:

<canvas id="c" width="1000" height="500"></canvas>

Script Preparation code:

$c = document.getElementById('c');
$ctx = $c.getContext('2d');
$ctx.clearRect(0, 0, 10000, 500);
$px = $ctx.createImageData(1000, 500);
$pxls = [];
for (var i=0; i<500000; ++i) $pxls.push({
   x: Math.random() * 1000 << 0,
   y: Math.random() * 500 << 0,
   r: Math.random() * 255 << 0,
   g: Math.random() * 255 << 0,
   b: Math.random() * 255 << 0,
   a: Math.random() * 128 << 0 + 128
});
