APIs

Canvas(context?: CanvasRenderingContext2D)

Since API version 9, this API is supported in ArkTS widgets.

Parameters

Name Type Mandatory Default Value Description
context CanvasRenderingContext2D No - For details, see CanvasRenderingContext2D. A CanvasRenderingContext2D object cannot be shared by multiple Canvas objects.

Attributes

The universal attributes are supported.

Events

In addition to the universal events, the following events are supported.

Name Description
onReady(event: () => void) Triggered when a canvas is ready or its size changes. When this event is triggered, the canvas is cleared. The width and height of the canvas can then be obtained, and you can use the canvas APIs to draw images. If the canvas is merely relocated, the onAreaChange event is triggered, but the onReady event is not.
