HTML Canvas- referentie
Beschrijving
De HTML5 <canvas>-tag wordt gebruikt om afbeeldingen te tekenen, on-the-fly, via scripting (meestal JavaScript).
Het <canvas>-element heeft echter geen eigen tekenmogelijkheden (het is alleen een container voor afbeeldingen) - u moet een script gebruiken om de afbeeldingen daadwerkelijk te tekenen.
De methode getContext() retourneert een object dat methoden en eigenschappen biedt om op het canvas te tekenen.
Deze referentie behandelt de eigenschappen en methoden van het object getContext("2d"), dat kan worden gebruikt om tekst, lijnen, kaders, cirkels en meer op het canvas te tekenen.
