How to turn on Chrome DevTools experiments
Paul Irish showed off a cool new feature of the Chrome DevTools called Canvas Introspection in a talk at EdgeConf.
To try it out on your own <canvas>
projects, you first need to install Chrome Canary. Canary is a bleeding-edge version of Chrome that you can run alongside your more modest stable or beta version. After you download it, open it up and visit chrome://flags
and enable the DevTools Experiments:
Now restart Canary and open up DevTools and hit the little gear icon in the lower right to open up the DevTools settings:
You should now see an "Experiments" tab in the left sidebar and the option to turn on "Canvas Inspection":
Make sure to watch Paul's talk for the cool things you can do with it.

Thanks for the tip. This is no available in the latest stable version of Chrome. No need to install Canary if you don't want to.
I have a problem. Even if I enabled "Enable Developer Tools experiments." the inspector doesn't show these options (chrome://flags/#enable-devtools-experiments). It shows something different like, FileSystem inspection, Canvas inspection, CSS Regions Support,Show Overrides in drawer etc.
Did I miss out to to do something? I use Chrome Version 31.0.1650.63
