Write "Hello world!" and "Big smile!" (with gradient) on the canvas, using fillText():
JavaScript:
Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari support the fillText() method.
Note: Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions, do not support the <canvas> element.
Note: The maxWidth parameter is not supported in Safari.
The fillText() method draws filled text on the canvas. The default color of the text is black.
Tip: Use the font property to specify font and font size, and use the fillStyle property to render the text in another color/gradient.
JavaScript syntax: | context.fillText(text,x,y,maxWidth); |
