Adding Styles to HTML5 Canvas
- In HTML5 Canvas, various styles can be added to different shapes, similar to adding colors.
- Styles can be applied to lines using the lineTo path element.
Styling Lines
- The line properties used for styling lines include:
- lineWidth: assigns the width of the lines drawn, with a default value of 1 unit.
- lineCap: styles the ends of the line, with possible values of 'butt' (default), 'round', and 'square'.
- lineJoin: sets the appearance of the corners where lines are joined, with possible values of 'miter' (default), 'bevel', and 'round'.
- miterLimit: determines the distance of the outside connection to the inside connection point when two angles join at a sharp angle, with a default value of 10.
- lineDashOffset: specifies the dash pattern for the lines, used to create dotted and dashed line patterns.
Methods for Line Styling
- The getLineDash() method returns the current line-dash pattern containing an even number of positive numbers.
- The setLineDash() method sets the dash lines to create a shape or pattern using Canvas, taking a segment array as input.
