HTML5 drawImage() method to draw image onto the canvas
To draw image onto the canvas, use the HTML5 drawImage() method:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function drawShape(){
// get the canvas element using the DOM
var canvas = document.getElementById('mycanvas');
// Make sure we don't execute when canvas isn't supported
if (canvas.getContext){
// use getContext to use the canvas for drawing
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// Draw shapes
var img = new Image();
img.src = '/images/backdrop.jpg';
img.onload = function(){
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(30,96);
ctx.lineTo(70,66);
ctx.lineTo(103,76);
ctx.lineTo(170,15);
ctx.stroke();
}
} else {
alert('You need Safari or Firefox 1.5+ to see this demo.');
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload = "drawShape();">
<canvas id = "mycanvas"></canvas>
</body>
</html>Advertisements
