### Getting the context
var canvas = document.getElementById('c');
var c = canvas.getContext("2d");
### Basic drawing
// x = 10, y = 20, width = 200, height = 100
c.fillStyle = '#ff0000';
c.strokeStyle = '#ff00ff';
c.lineWidth = 5;
c.lineCap = 'round';
c.fillRect(10, 20, 200, 100);
c.stroke();
c.fill();
### Saving and restoring
c.save();
// Saves:
// strokeStyle fillStyle globalAlpha lineWidth lineCap lineJoin miterLimit
// shadowOffsetX shadowOffsetY shadowBlur shadowColor
// globalCompositeOperation
// Transformations: translate rotate scale transform setTransform
// Clipping path
c.restore();
### Animation
onframe: function() {
c.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
}
### Transformations
c.translate(0, 0)
c.rotate(Math.PI*2/5)
c.scale(1.0, 1.0)
To rotate along origin:
c.translate(ox, oy)
c.rotate(theta)
c.translate(-ox, -oy)
To scale along origin:
c.translate(-ox*x, -oy*y)
c.scale(x, y)
c.translate(ox/x, oy/y)
See [MDN: Transformations][xform].
### Image drawing
c.drawImage(image, dx, dy, [dw, dh]);
/* `image` can be HTML Image/Canvas/Video */
See [MDN: Images][images].
### Colors, styles shadows
c.strokeStyle = '#ff00ff';
c.fillStyle = '#ff00ff';
c.shadowOffsetX = 0;
c.shadowOffsetY = 0;
c.shadowOffsetBlur = 3.0;
c.shadowColor = 'rgba(0,0,0,0.2)';
See [MDN: Styles][styles].
### Gradients
gr = c.createLinearGgadient(x0,y0,x1,y1)
gr = c.createRadialGradient(x0,y0,r0,x1,y1,r1)
pat = c.createPattern(image, 'repeat-x')
c.fillStyle = gr
### Drawing
c.beginPath()
c.moveTo(x,y)
c.lineTo(x,y)
c.quadraticCurveTo(cpx,cpy,x,y)
c.bezierCurveTo(cp1x,cp1y,cp2x,cp2y)
c.arcTo(...)
c.arc(...)
c.closePath()
