Canvas element

The HTML canvas element allows for dynamic, scriptable rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images. Introduced in HTML5, it is a low level, procedural model that updates a bitmap. The <canvas> element also helps in making 2D games.

While the <canvas> element offers its own 2D drawing API, it also supports the WebGL API to allow 3D rendering with OpenGL ES.
