Drawing rectangles
There are three different functions in the canvas API to draw rectangles. They are:
rect(xPos,yPos,width,height)
fillRect(xPos,yPos,width,height)
strokeRect(xPos,yPos,width,height)
Let's see these all together in a single recipe. So here is the output of our first recipe:

How to do it…
The output that shows three different rectangles, uses a call to three different functions, which are explained further. The recipe is as follows.
An HTML file that includes the canvas element:
<html> <head> <title>Rectangles</title> <script src="Rectangles.js"></script> </head> <body onload="init()" bgcolor="#FFFFCC"> <canvas id="canvas" width="250" height="200" style="border:2px solid blue;" > your browser does not support canvas </canvas> <H1>Rectangles</H1> </body> </html>
The JavaScript file as mentioned in the <script>
tag in the previously given code:
function init() { var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"); if(canvas.getContext) { // Color of drawing, fillStyle is this color var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"); // Draw a square(rectangle with same sides) // from top left corner x,y, width, height ctx.strokeStyle="purple" ctx.rect(10,10,70,50); ctx.fillStyle="lightgreen"; ctx.fill(); ctx.stroke(); //draw another rectangle ctx.fillStyle="crimson"; ctx.fillRect (50,25, 100,100); //draw yet another ctx.strokeStyle="blue"; ctx.lineWidth=10; ctx.strokeRect(100,60,80,130); } }
How it works...
This is what you can observe in the output of the recipe:
- The top-most blue bordered rectangle is drawn using the
strokeRect()
function - The second red colored rectangle is drawn using the
fillRect()
function - The first green colored rectangle is drawn using the
rect()
andfill()
functions
The property fillStyle
decides the color for filling the rectangle. The strokeStyle
property decides the color of the border.
The three rectangles drawing functions accept the following parameters:

Diagrammatically it can be shown as follows:
