# CanvasRenderingContext2D

>  **NOTE**
>
>  This component is supported since API version 4. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

**CanvasRenderingContext2D** allows you to draw rectangles, text, images, and other objects on a canvas.


**Example**
  ```html
  <!-- xxx.hml -->
  <div>
    <canvas ref="canvas1" style="width: 200px; height: 150px; background-color: #ffff00;"></canvas>
    <input type="button" style="width: 180px; height: 60px;" value="handleClick" onclick="handleClick" />
    <input type="button" style="width: 180px; height: 60px;" value="antialias" onclick="antialias" />
  </div>
  ```

  ```js
  // xxx.js
  export default {
    handleClick() {
      const el = this.$refs.canvas1;
      const ctx = el.getContext('2d');
      ctx.beginPath();
      ctx.arc(100, 75, 50, 0, 6.28);
      ctx.stroke();
    },
    antialias() {
      const el = this.$refs.canvas1;
      const ctx = el.getContext('2d', { antialias: true });
      ctx.beginPath();   
      ctx.arc(100, 75, 50, 0, 6.28);
      ctx.stroke(); 
      }
    }
  ```

### globalCompositeOperation

Enumerates the operation types.

| Value               | Description                      |
| ---------------- | ------------------------ |
| source-over      | Displays the new drawing above the existing drawing. This attribute is used by default.  |
| source-atop      | Displays the new drawing on the top of the existing drawing.       |
| source-in        | Displays the new drawing inside the existing drawing.        |
| source-out       | Displays part of the new drawing that is outside of the existing drawing.       |
| destination-over | Displays the existing drawing above the new drawing.       |
| destination-atop | Displays the existing drawing on the top of the new drawing.       |
| destination-in   | Displays the existing drawing inside the new drawing.        |
| destination-out  | Displays the existing drawing outside the new drawing.        |
| lighter          | Displays both the new and existing drawing.         |
| copy             | Displays the new drawing and neglects the existing drawing.       |
| xor              | Combines the new drawing and existing drawing using the XOR operation.|

**Example**

```html

### transform

transform(scaleX: number, skewX: number, skewY: number, scale: number, translateX: number, translateY: number): void

Defines a transformation matrix. To transform a graph, you only need to set parameters of the matrix. The coordinates of the graph are multiplied by the matrix values to obtain new coordinates of the transformed graph. You can use the matrix to implement multiple transform effects.

>  **NOTE**<br>
>  The following formulas calculate coordinates of the transformed graph. **x** and **y** represent coordinates before transformation, and **x'** and **y'** represent coordinates after transformation.
>
>  - x' = scaleX \* x + skewY \* y + translateX
>
>  - y' = skewX \* x + scaleY \* y + translateY
