Step 2 : In this section we will create the style for the media and create the .css on the media screen. Put the given script in the Head section of the HTML or between the <head>--</head> tags. Here the CSS is used for design purposes.
CSS Script
<style>
body
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
Canvas
{
border: 2px solid #9C9898;
margin-top: 50px;
margin-left: 50px;
background-color: #009999;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 8px #222;
}
.title
{
text-align: center;
font-family: Segoe UI Light, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 2.2em;
margin: 1em;
}
.info
{
text-align: center;
font-family: Segoe UI Light, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 1.2em;
margin: 0.25em;
}
</style>
Step 3 : In this part we need to work on some JavaScript. To fully understand how the JavaScript works, download the attached .rar file and run the CanvasStateStack application.
The whole JavaScript looks as in the following.
<script>
window.onload = function ()
{
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var rectWidth = 150;
var rectHeight = 75;
context.save();
context.translate(canvas.width / 2, canvas.height / 2);
context.save();
context.rotate(Math.PI / 4);
context.save();
context.scale(2, 2);
context.fillStyle = "blue";
context.fillRect(-rectWidth / 2, -rectHeight / 2, rectWidth, rectHeight);
context.restore();
context.fillStyle = "red";
context.fillRect(-rectWidth / 2, -rectHeight / 2, rectWidth, rectHeight);
context.restore();
context.fillStyle = "white";
context.fillRect(-rectWidth / 2, -rectHeight / 2, rectWidth, rectHeight);
context.restore();
};
</script>
Step 4 : In this section we are going to become familiar with the body part of HTML scripting. Replace this script from the body section of the statestack.aspx page. Here we pass a Canvas in the canvas tag.
<body style="background-color: #FFFFCC">
<center>
<h2>
Canvas State Stack
</h2>
</center>
<hr />
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="500" height="200">
</canvas>
</body>
Step 5 : The complete code for the CanvasStateStack application:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="statestack.aspx.cs" Inherits="CanvasStateStack.statestack" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<style>
</style>
<script>
</script>
</head>
<body style="background-color: #FFFFCC">
<center>
<h2>
Canvas State Stack
</h2>
</center>
<hr />
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="500" height="200">
</canvas>
</body>
</html>
Step 6 : Output Press F5
Note : For the accurate output of HTML5 applications, you must have the Google Chrome browser in your PC. You will see the canvas state stack while displaying in the browser.
