 * Based on Ezelia's drawing method - http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/518-hack-making-all-2d-drawing-functions-available-to-pixi/
 * @module TextureDraw
 * @param  {Function} callback The draw function that contains the "canvas" parameter
 * @return {PIXI.Texture} The pixi texture generated by the drawing.
 * @global
 * @example
 * var myTexture = textureDraw(function (canvas) {
 *   var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
 *   ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(200,0,0)";
 *   ctx.fillRect (10, 10, 55, 50);
 * });
