ICanvasRenderingContext2D Methods

The ICanvasRenderingContext2D type exposes the following members.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAddHitRegion
Adds a hit region to the canvas. This allows you to make hit detection easier, lets you route events to DOM elements, and makes it possible for users to explore the canvas without seeing it.
Public methodArc(Double, Double, Double, Double, Double)
Adds an arc to the path which is centered at (x, y) position with radius r starting at startAngle and ending at endAngle going in the given direction by anticlockwise (defaulting to clockwise).
(Inherited from ICanvasPathMethods.)
Public methodArc(Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Boolean)
Adds an arc to the path which is centered at (x, y) position with radius r starting at startAngle and ending at endAngle going in the given direction by anticlockwise (defaulting to clockwise).
(Inherited from ICanvasPathMethods.)
Public methodArcTo
Adds an arc to the path with the given control points and radius, connected to the previous point by a straight line.
(Inherited from ICanvasPathMethods.)
Public methodBeginPath
Starts a new path by emptying the list of sub-paths. Call this method when you want to create a new path.
Public methodBezierCurveTo
Adds a cubic Bézier curve to the path. It requires three points. The first two points are control points and the third one is the end point. The starting point is the last point in the current path, which can be changed using moveTo() before creating the Bézier curve.
(Inherited from ICanvasPathMethods.)
Public methodClearHitRegions
Removes all hit regions from the canvas.
Public methodClearRect
Sets all pixels in the rectangle defined by starting point (x, y) and size (width, height) to transparent black, erasing any previously drawn content.
Public methodClip
Creates a new clipping region by calculating the intersection of the current clipping region and the area described by the path, using the non-zero winding number rule. Open subpaths must be implicitly closed when computing the clipping region, without affecting the actual subpaths. The new clipping region replaces the current clipping region.
Public methodClip(CanvasFillRule)
Creates a new clipping region by calculating the intersection of the current clipping region and the area described by the path, using the non-zero winding number rule. Open subpaths must be implicitly closed when computing the clipping region, without affecting the actual subpaths. The new clipping region replaces the current clipping region.
Public methodClip(Path2D, CanvasFillRule)
Creates a new clipping region by calculating the intersection of the current clipping region and the area described by the path, using the non-zero winding number rule. Open subpaths must be implicitly closed when computing the clipping region, without affecting the actual subpaths. The new clipping region replaces the current clipping region.
Public methodClosePath
Causes the point of the pen to move back to the start of the current sub-path. It tries to draw a straight line from the current point to the start. If the shape has already been closed or has only one point, this function does nothing.
(Inherited from ICanvasPathMethods.)
Public methodCreateImageData(IImageData)
Creates a new, blank ImageData object with the specified dimensions. All of the pixels in the new object are transparent black.
Public methodCreateImageData(Double, Double)
Creates a new, blank ImageData object with the specified dimensions. All of the pixels in the new object are transparent black.
Public methodCreateLinearGradient
Creates a linear gradient along the line given by the coordinates represented by the parameters.
Public methodCreatePattern(HTMLCanvasElement, String)
Creates a pattern using the specified image (a CanvasImageSource). It repeats the source in the directions specified by the repetition argument.
Public methodCreatePattern(HTMLImageElement, String)
Creates a pattern using the specified image (a CanvasImageSource). It repeats the source in the directions specified by the repetition argument.
Public methodCreateRadialGradient
Creates a radial gradient given by the coordinates of the two circles represented by the parameters.
Public methodDrawFocusIfNeeded
If a given element is focused, this method draws a focus ring around the current path.
Public methodDrawImage(HTMLCanvasElement, Double, Double)

Public methodDrawImage(HTMLImageElement, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double)
Draws the specified image.
Public methodEllipse(Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double)
Adds an ellipse to the path which is centered at (x, y) position with the radii radiusX and radiusY starting at startAngle and ending at endAngle going in the given direction by anticlockwise (defaulting to clockwise).
(Inherited from ICanvasPathMethods.)
Public methodEllipse(Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Boolean)
Adds an ellipse to the path which is centered at (x, y) position with the radii radiusX and radiusY starting at startAngle and ending at endAngle going in the given direction by anticlockwise (defaulting to clockwise).
(Inherited from ICanvasPathMethods.)
Public methodFill
Fills the subpaths with the current fill style and default algorithm CanvasFillRule.Nonzero.
Public methodFill(CanvasFillRule)
Fills the subpaths with the current fill style.
Public methodFill(Path2D)
Fills the subpaths with the current fill style and default algorithm CanvasFillRule.Nonzero.

(Inherited from ICanvasDrawingStyles.)
Public methodIsPointInPath(Double, Double)
Reports whether or not the specified point is contained in the current path.

Public methodPutImageData(IImageData, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double, Double)
Paints data from the given ImageData object onto the bitmap. If a dirty rectangle is provided, only the pixels from that rectangle are painted. This method is not affected by the canvas transformation matrix.

Public methodRemoveHitRegion
Removes the hit region with the specified id from the canvas.
Public methodResetTransform
Resets the current transform by the identity matrix.
Public methodRestore
Restores the drawing style state to the last element on the 'state stack' saved by save().
Public methodRotate
Adds a rotation to the transformation matrix. The angle argument represents a clockwise rotation angle and is expressed in radians.
Public methodSave
Saves the current drawing style state using a stack so you can revert any change you make to it using restore().
