> **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
```
```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();

### 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**
> 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
**Parameters**
| Name | Type | Description |
| ---------- | ------ | -------- |
| scaleX | number | X-axis scale.|
| skewX | number | X-axis skew.|
| skewY | number | Y-axis skew.|

//xxx.js
export default {
onShow() {
const el =this.$refs.canvas;
