The HTML <canvas> element is used for drawing graphics via scripting. It is only a container for graphics. You need\u00a0JavaScript\u00a0to draw the graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canvas has multiple methods for drawing paths, circles, boxes, text, as well as for adding images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canvas can be used to draw colorful texts, with or without animation. Besides, they can be animated. This means that canvas objects can move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than one <canvas> elements can be on one HTML page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canvas is a rectangular area, and by default, it has no border or content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<canvas id=\"canvas\" width=\"250\" height=\"150\"><\/canvas><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Always use an id attribute, and a width and height attribute to define the size of the canvas. Use the style attribute to add a border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
