About The HTML5 Canvas Element

The "canvas" element in HTML5 allows for easy rendering and manipulation of shapes and images within a pre-defined area. Canvas allows for direct manipulation and feedback through mouse actions like hover and clicking. In fact, the HTML5 canvas element is so powerful, that when combined with JavaScript and jQuery, web developers are able to make graphical interactive programs and games with relative ease.
