HTML canvas rect() Method

The rect() method of the HTML canvas is used to create a rectangle. The <canvas> element allows you to draw graphics on a web page using JavaScript. Every canvas has two elements that describes the height and width of the canvas i.e. height and width respectively.

Following is the syntax −

context.fillRect(p,q,width,height);

Above,

p: The x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle
q: The y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle
width: Width of the rectangle
height: Height of the rectangle

Let us now see an example to implement the rect() method of canvas −

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="450" height="350" style="border:2px solid blue;">
Your browser does not support the HTML5 canvas tag.</canvas>
<script>
   var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
   var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
   ctx.beginPath();
   ctx.rect(100, 60, 200, 200);
   ctx.fillStyle = "orange";
   ctx.fill();
   ctx.beginPath();
   ctx.rect(110, 90, 180, 120);
   ctx.fillStyle = "yellow";
   ctx.fill();
</script>
</body>
</html>
