To draw a rectangle in HTML, use the canvas element. With canvas, use the rect() method to draw a rectangle. But, for creating a rounded rectangle, using the rect() method won’t work. We will be using the lineTo() and quadraticCurveTo() method to create a rounded rectangle.
This is how you can create a canvas in HTML5 −

<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <title>HTML5 Canvas Tag</title> </head> <body> <canvas id="newCanvas" width="300" height="150"></canvas> <script> var canvas = document.getElementById('newCanvas'); var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); ctx.beginPath(); ctx.moveTo(20, 10); ctx.lineTo(80, 10); ctx.quadraticCurveTo(90, 10, 90, 20); ctx.lineTo(90, 80); ctx.quadraticCurveTo(90, 90, 80, 90); ctx.lineTo(20, 90); ctx.quadraticCurveTo(10, 90, 10, 80); ctx.lineTo(10, 20); ctx.quadraticCurveTo(10, 10, 20, 10); ctx.stroke(); </script> </body> </html>
