Introduction to Canvas in HTML5

The canvas element is a newly introduced element and is a part of HTML5. It allows dynamic scripting and rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images.

Canvas actually is like a drawing board on which you can draw something. It will have a height and width. Now, you might have a question, “how do I write on it?”

Well, the answer is very simple.
You can write your JavaScript code and your code will have access to the entire canvas region. You can use a full set of drawing functions provided similar to any other API’S which provides 2D drawing functions. You can build Graphs, animations, games and image compositions.
