Description

We should extend the functionality here slightly to support generating symbol SDFs (with either a rendered canvas, `ImageData` object or a PNG as input, tbd). I'm working on implementing this in a way that preserves the existing API but reuses basically [all of this](https://github.com/mapbox/tiny-sdf/blob/aad98d1d83437e9f660ce945e3047d45301f043b/index.js#L40-L104) and keeps this lean.

Research direction

Start by reading the referenced index.js implementation, especially lines 40-104, to understand the existing SDF generation flow and API. The issue proposes accepting a rendered canvas, ImageData object, or PNG, but leaves that choice unresolved. Done means supporting symbol SDF generation while preserving the existing API and keeping the implementation lean.
