HTML canvas clip() method

Definition and Usage

clip() The method cuts any shape and size from the original canvas.

Tip:Once an area is cut, all subsequent drawings will be restricted to the cut area (cannot access other areas on the canvas). You can also save the current canvas area before using the clip() method using the save() method and restore it at any time later (using the restore() method).

Example

Cut a 200*120 pixel rectangle area from the canvas. Then, draw a green rectangle. Only the green rectangle part within the cut area is visible:

Your browser does not support the HTML5 canvas tag.

JavaScript:

var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx=c.getContext("2d");
// 剪切矩形区域
ctx.rect(50,20,200,120);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.clip();
// 在 clip() 之后绘制绿色矩形
ctx.fillStyle="green";
ctx.fillRect(0,0,150,100);
