HTML canvas fillStyle Property


The fillStyle() property of the HTML canvas is used to set the color or gradient or pattern for the drawing. The default is #000000. The <canvas> element allows you to draw graphics on a web page using JavaScript. Every canvas has two elements that describes the height and width of the canvas i.e. height and width respectively.

Following is the syntax −

ctx.fillStyle=color|gradient|pattern;

Above, the values, include −

  • color: The drawing’s fill color, which is a CSS color.
  • gradient: Linear or radial gradient object to fill the drawing
  • pattern: The pattern object to fill the drawing.

Let us now see an example to implement the fillStyle() property of canvas −
