Canvas Hello World

The <canvas> element represents a surface upon which you can draw things.

If your browser supports the <canvas> element, then you should see the Hello World! above in an outline style. The canvas element is declared with simply the width and height attribute:

The script to do the drawing gets a 2D drawing context for myCanvas, configures the font, and then calls strokeText.

var context = myCanvas.getContext("2d");
context.font = "30px sans-serif";
context.strokeText("Hello World!", 20, 25);
