rect method

The rect method draws a rectangle at the given point. This rectangle will become visible only if you apply the stroke or fill method. In the first case there will be a stroke, and in the second - a shape.

Syntax

context.rect(x, y, width, height)

Example

Let's draw a path with rect:

<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="200" style="background: #f4f4f4;"></canvas>

let canvas = document.querySelector('#canvas');
let ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

ctx.rect(50, 50, 100, 75);
ctx.stroke();

Example

Now let's draw a shape:

<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="200" style="background: #f4f4f4;"></canvas>

let canvas = document.querySelector('#canvas');
let ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

ctx.rect(50, 50, 100, 75);
ctx.fill();
