Determines the shape used to draw the end points of lines.
Determines the line dash offset (or "phase").
Determines the shape used to join two line segments where they meet.
This property has no effect wherever two connected segments have the same direction, because no joining area will be added in this case. Degenerate segments with a length of zero (i.e. with all endpoints and control points at the exact same position) are also ignored.
Determines the thickness of lines.
Specifies the miter limit ratio, in coordinate space units. Zero, negative,
Infinity
, and NaN
values are ignored.
Specifies the current text alignment used when drawing text.
The alignment is relative to the x
value of the fillText()
/
strokeText()
methods.
For example, if textAlign
is "center"
, then the text's left
edge will be at x - (textWidth / 2)
.
Specifies the current text baseline used when drawing text.

.
Optional
fillRule: CanvasFillRuleOptional
fillRule: CanvasFillRuleDraws a rectangle that is filled according to the current
fillStyle
.
This method draws directly to the canvas without modifying the current path,
so any subsequent fill()
or
stroke()
calls will have no effect on it.

The y-axis coordinate of the rectangle's starting point.
The rectangle's width. Positive values are to the right, and negative to the left.

Returns an ImageData
object representing the underlying pixel
data for a specified portion of the canvas.
This method is not affected by the canvas's transformation matrix. If the specified
rectangle extends outside the bounds of the canvas, the pixels outside the canvas
are transparent black in the returned ImageData
object.

settings: ImageDataSettingsAn ImageData
object containing the image data for the rectangle of the canvas specified.
Gets the current line dash pattern.
An Array
of numbers that specify distances to alternately draw a line and a gap (in coordinate space units). If the number, when setting the elements, is odd, the elements of the array get copied and concatenated. For example, setting the line dash to [5, 15, 25]
will result in getting back [5, 15, 25, 5, 15, 25]
.
Returns a TextMetrics
object that contains information about
the measured text (such as its width, for example).

The rectangle's height. Positive values are down, and negative are up.
A number or list specifying the radii of the circular arc to be used for the corners of the rectangle.
Adds a scaling transformation to the canvas units horizontally and/or vertically.
By default, one unit on the canvas is exactly one pixel. A scaling transformation modifies this behavior. For instance, a scaling factor of 0.5 results in a unit size of 0.5 pixels; shapes are thus drawn at half the normal size. Similarly, a scaling factor of 2.0 increases the unit size so that one unit becomes two pixels; shapes are thus drawn at twice the normal size.
Scaling factor in the horizontal direction. A negative value flips pixels across the vertical axis. A value of 1
results in no horizontal scaling.
Scaling factor in the vertical direction. A negative value flips pixels across the horizontal axis. A value of 1
results in no vertical scaling.
Sets the line dash pattern used when stroking lines. It uses an array of values that specify alternating lengths of lines and gaps which describe the pattern.
An Array
of numbers that specify distances to alternately draw a line and a gap (in coordinate space units). If the number of elements in the array is odd, the elements of the array get copied and concatenated. For example, [5, 15, 25]
will become [5, 15, 25, 5, 15, 25]
. If the array is empty, the line dash list is cleared and line strokes return to being solid.
To return to using solid lines, set the line dash list to an empty array.

Specifies the alpha (transparency) value that is applied to shapes and images before they are drawn onto the canvas.
Value is between
0.0
