The width and height are maintained out of necessity by the canvas. A
second copy was maintained by the camera, which was only used for
computing the aspect ratio and similar metrics for projections.
Having to maintain the width/height in two places is a bit of a hassle
and provides the opportunity for bugs if they get out of sync. Instead,
have the width/height managed in one place (the canvas) and pass them as
parameters as necessary.
Generally we try not to expose the implementation details of how things
are stored in objects.
Also changed some arguments that should have been declared const to
actually be const.
The word surface is more often used for something like a polygonal mesh,
so this name is quite confusing. Canvas is consistent with a
conventional name in GUI widget APIs.
