The HTML <canvas>
element is used to draw graphics on a web page.
The graphic to the left is created with <canvas>
. It shows four elements: a red rectangle, a gradient rectangle, a multicolor rectangle, and a multicolor text.
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.
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:
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100"></canvas>
Note: Always specify an id
attribute (to be referred to in a script), and a width
and height
attribute to define the size of the canvas. To add a border, use the style
attribute.
Here is an example of a basic, empty canvas:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100" style="border:1px solid #000000;">
Your browser does not support the HTML canvas tag.
