What’s a canvas?

For IE: excanvas.js (limited) (Google)

You can draw on it.

Boring.

Better.

You can put photos on
it.

<canvas id="canvas" width="500" height="350"> <img
src="fallback.jpg" width="500" height="350" alt="Pulp Fiction Minifigs" /> </canvas> http://www.flickr.com/photos/minifig/72091618/

<script type="text/javascript"> var canvas =
document.getElementById( 'canvas' ); if ( canvas.getContext ) { var ctx = canvas.getContext( '2d' ); ctx.drawImage( img, sx, sy, sWidth, sHeight, dx, dy, dWidth, dHeight ); } </script>

You can do creative things
with a canvas.

var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'); if
( canvas.getContext ) { // Get the image object var img = document.images[0]; // Set canvas 2D context var ctx = canvas.getContext( '2d' ); /* Draw image: drawImage( * image object, sx, sy, sWidth, sHeight, * dx, dy, dWidth, dHeight) */ ctx.drawImage( img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height, 0, 0, img.width, img.height ); // Save current state ctx.save(); [...]

[...] // Draw mirror image
// Restore saved state ctx.restore(); // Flip vertically: scale(x,y) ctx.scale( 1, -1 ); // Move beneath the original image ctx.translate( 0, -img.height ); // Draw mirror image ctx.drawImage( img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height, 0, -img.height, img.width, img.height ); [...]

[...] // Drawing the fading
gradient // Restore saved state ctx.restore(); // Flip vertically: scale(x,y) ctx.scale( 1, -1 ); // Draw gradient var mirrorHeight = img.height * 0.5; var gradient = ctx.createLinearGradient( 0, 0, 0, mirrorHeight ); gradient.addColorStop( 0, 'rgba( 0, 0, 0, 0.5 )' ); gradient.addColorStop( 1, 'rgba( 0, 0, 0, 1.0 )' ); // Fill rectangle with gradient ctx.fillStyle = gradient; ctx.rect( 0, 0, img.width, mirrorHeight ); ctx.fill(); }

You can distort it.

/* transform( * scaleX, skewY,
skewX, scaleY, * translateX, translateY ) */ ctx.transform( 1, Math.PI * 2 / 18, 0, 1, 0, 0 );

What’s a canvas, really?
