How to use the lineTo() method and lineWidth property In HTML Canvas

The HTML Canvas ‘lineTo’ method delicately connects points, while the ‘lineWidth’ property subtly refines the strokes, resulting in a seamless fusion of precision and style on the digital canvas.

Example 1: In this example, we will draw a line with lineTo() and give the property lineWidth to define the width of the line.

HTML




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport"
          content="width=device-width, 
                   initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>HTML CANVAS LINES</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" 
          href="style.css">

<body>
    <p>w3wiki</p>
    <h1>
        HTML CANVAS LINES
    </h1>
    <div class="flex-class"></div>
    <canvas height="200" 
            width="200" 
            class="canvas-element"
            id="c1">
      </canvas>
    <canvas height="200" 
            width="200" 
            class="canvas-element" 
            id="c2">
      </canvas>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
</body>
  
</html>


CSS




@import url(
'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap');
  
body {
    font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
}
  
.canvas-element {
    border: 2px solid black;
}
  
p {
    font-size: 50px;
    color: green;
}
  
.flex-class {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
}


Javascript




const canvas1 = 
    document.getElementById("c1").getContext("2d")
const canvas2 =
    document.getElementById("c2").getContext("2d")
  
canvas1.beginPath();
canvas1.moveTo(0, 0)
canvas1.lineTo(120, 150)
canvas1.stroke();
  
canvas2.beginPath();
canvas2.moveTo(10, 10)
canvas2.lineTo(100, 150)
canvas2.lineWidth = 10;
canvas2.stroke();


Output:
