Abstract

In this chapter, I continue describing the features of the canvas element, showing how we can draw more complex shapes (including arcs and curves), how we can limit operations using a clipping region and how we can draw text. I also describe the effects and transformations that we can apply to the canvas, including shadows, transparency, rotations, and translations. Table 36-1 provides the summary for this chapter.
