Drawing a line

When learning how to draw with the HTML5 canvas for the first time, most people are interested in drawing the most basic and rudimentary element of the canvas. This recipe will show you how to do just that by drawing a simple straight line.

Drawing a line

How to do it...

Follow these steps to draw a diagonal line:

  1. Define a 2D canvas context and set the line style:
    window.onload = function(){
      // get the canvas DOM element by its ID
         var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
      // declare a 2-d context using the getContext() method of the 
      // canvas object
         var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
        
      // set the line width to 10 pixels
         context.lineWidth = 10;
      // set the line color to blue
         context.strokeStyle = "blue";
  2. Position the canvas context and draw the line:
      // position the drawing cursor
         context.moveTo(50, canvas.height - 50);
      // draw the line
         context.lineTo(canvas.width - 50, 50);
      // make the line visible with the stroke color
         context.stroke();
    };
  3. Embed the canvas tag inside the body of the HTML document:
    <canvas id="myCanvas" width="600" height="250" style="border:1px solid black;">
    </canvas>
