javascript getContext() methodsyntax

Function: Returns an environment for drawing on the canvas.

Syntax: Canvas.getContext(contextID)

Parameters: The parameter contextID specifies the type you want to draw on the canvas . Currently the only legal value is "2d", which specifies 2D drawing and causes this method to return an environment object that exports a 2D drawing API.

Returns: A CanvasRenderingContext2D object, which can be used to draw into the Canvas element.

Description: Returns an environment representing the type of environment used to draw. The intention is to provide different environments for different drawing types (2D, 3D). Currently, the only one supported is "2d", which returns a CanvasRenderingContext2D object that implements most of the methods used by a canvas.

Note: In the future, if the <canvas> tag is extended to support 3D drawing, the getContext() method may allow passing a "3d" string argument.
