What is HTML Canvas?

The HTML <canvas> element is used to draw graphics, on the fly, via
JavaScript.

The <canvas> element is only a container for graphics. You must use
JavaScript to actually draw the graphics.

Canvas has several methods for drawing paths, boxes, circles, text, and
adding images.

Canvas is supported by all major browsers.

A canvas is a rectangular area on an HTML page. By default, a canvas has no


border and no content.

The markup looks like this:

Draw a Line
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100"></canvas>

<script>
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
ctx.lineTo(200, 100);
ctx.stroke();
</script>
Draw a Circle
<script>
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(95, 50, 40, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
ctx.stroke();
</script>

Draw a Text
<script>
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.font = "30px Arial";
ctx.fillText("Hello World", 10, 50);
</script>

Draw Image
<script>
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var img = document.getElementById("scream");
ctx.drawImage(img, 10, 10);
</script>
