Write "Hello world!" and "Big smile!" (with gradient) on the canvas, using strokeText():
JavaScript:
Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari support the strokeText() method.
Note: Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions, do not support the <canvas> element.
Note: The maxWidth parameter is not supported in Safari.
The strokeText() method draws text (with no fill) 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 strokeStyle property to render the text in another color/gradient.
JavaScript syntax: | context.strokeText(text,x,y,maxWidth); |
