var canvas = document.getElementById('tutorial');
if (canvas.getContext){
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// drawing code here
} else {
// canvas-unsupported code here
}
代码模板
Here is a minimalistic template, which we’ll be using as a starting point for later examples. You can download this file to work with on your system.
我们会用下面这个最简化的代码模板来（后续的示例需要用到）作为开始，你可以 下载文件 到本地备用。
<html>
<head>
<title>Canvas tutorial</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function draw(){
var canvas = document.getElementById('tutorial');
if (canvas.getContext){
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
}
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
canvas { border: 1px solid black; }
</style>
</head>
<body onload="draw();">
<canvas id="tutorial" width="150" height="150"></canvas>
</body>
</html>
If you look at the script you’ll see I’ve made a function called draw, which will get executed once the page finishes loading (via the onload attribute on the body tag). This function could also have been called from a setTimeout, setInterval, or any other event handler function just as long the page has been loaded first.
细心的你会发现我准备了一个名为 draw 的函数，它会在页面装载完毕之后执行一次（通过设置 body 标签的 onload 属性），它当然也可以在 setTimeout，setInterval，或者其他事件处理函数中被调用。
一个简单的例子
To start off, here’s a simple example that draws two intersecting rectangles, one of which has alpha transparency. We’ll explore how this works in more detail in later examples.
作为开始，来一个简单的吧——绘制两个交错的矩形，其中一个是有alpha透明效果。我们会在后面的示例中详细的让你了解它是如何运作的。
<html>
<head>
<script type="application/x-javascript">
function draw() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
if (canvas.getContext) {
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"); ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(200,0,0)";
ctx.fillRect (10, 10, 55, 50);
ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(0, 0, 200, 0.5)";
ctx.fillRect (30, 30, 55, 50);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="draw();">
<canvas id="canvas" width="150" height="150"></canvas>
</body>
</html>
