The canvas beginPath() method is used to start a path or reset the current path. The moveTo(), lineTo(), quadricCurveTo(), bezierCurveTo(), arcTo(), and arc() methods are used to create paths. Also, the stroke() method is used to draw the path on the canvas.
Syntax:
context.beginPath();
Example 1:
<!DOCTYPE html> < html >
< head >
< title >
HTML canvas beginPath() Property
</ title >
</ head >
< body style = "text-align:center;" >
< h1 style = "color:green;" >
GeeksforGeeks
</ h1 >
< h2 >HTML canvas beginPath() Property</ h2 >
< canvas id = "GFG" width = "500" height = "300" ></ canvas >
< script >
var GFG = document.getElementById("GFG");
var context = GFG.getContext("2d");
// Create a path
context.beginPath();
// Set the path width
context.lineWidth = "8";
// Set the path color
context.strokeStyle = "green";
context.moveTo(100, 250);
context.lineTo(150, 50);
context.lineTo(250, 250);
context.stroke();
context.beginPath();
</ script >
</ body >
</ html >
