In this article, we will draw graphics by using the canvas element in the document. This tag in HTML is used to draw graphics on a web page using JavaScript. It can be used to draw paths, boxes, texts, gradient, and adding images. By default, it does not contain borders and text.

Note: This tag is new in HTML5.

Syntax:

<canvas id = "script"> Contents... </canvas>

Example 1:




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>

            border: 3px solid red;
            background-color: blue;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <canvas id="FirstCanvas"></canvas>
