We saw in the previous chapter how to use the HTML5 canvas drawing API. We will now manipulate canvas a bit more deeply and see how it can be used for rendering graphs, game graphics, or other visual images on the fly. As you learned previously, canvas is a rectangular area that you can add to your HTML5 page and that you can use to render and manipulate graphics through several available methods.
