How to generate an Image from ImageData in JavaScript?

None of the previous answers provide an answer to the question as it was presented in the subject – getting an Image from ImageData. So here’s a solution.

function imagedata_to_image(imagedata) {
    var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
    var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
    canvas.width = imagedata.width;
    canvas.height = imagedata.height;
    ctx.putImageData(imagedata, 0, 0);

    var image = new Image();
    image.src = canvas.toDataURL();
    return image;
}
