现在有一个.reset()方法，它不仅会清除画布缓冲区，还会完全重置上下文的所有属性(样式等)，重置它的转换矩阵，清除它的当前子路径，清除它的状态堆栈(由save()和restore()控制)，并删除所有的剪辑区域。

context.reset();
// now 'context' is clear as new

基本上，它具有与canvas相同的效果。Width += 0，除了它更习惯。

然而，在当前的Chromium实现中，它似乎和canvas一样慢。Width += 0时，它也会生成一个新的缓冲区，而不是简单地清除前一个缓冲区(导致更多的内存垃圾)。另一个警告是，它目前只在铬浏览器中支持。 虽然要填充它，你可以去Chrome的方式

if (!CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.reset) {
  CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.reset = function() {
    this.canvas.width += 0;
  };
}
if (!OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.reset) {
  OffscreenCanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.reset = function() {
    this.canvas.width += 0;
  };
}

假设canvas是一个canvas元素或者OffscreenCanvas对象，使用clearRect:

const context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

我总是用这个

ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)
window.requestAnimationFrame(functionToBeCalled)

NOTE

结合clearRect和requestAnimationFrame允许更流畅的动画，如果这是你想要的

在webkit中，您需要将宽度设置为不同的值，然后您可以将其设置回初始值

function clear(context, color)
{
    var tmp = context.fillStyle;
    context.fillStyle = color;
    context.fillRect(0, 0, context.canvas.width, context.canvas.height);
    context.fillStyle = tmp;
}

This is a Free hand drawing Canvas with a Clear Canvas Button. See this live example of a canvas which you can draw on and also when required clear it for redrawing clearRect() is used to delete the prersent canvas and fillRect() is used to again draw the initial canvas which was clean and had no drawings on it. var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"), ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"), painting = false, lastX = 0, lastY = 0, lineThickness = 1; canvas.width=canvas.height = 250; ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 250, 250); canvas.onmousedown = function(e) { painting = true; ctx.fillStyle = "#ffffff"; lastX = e.pageX - this.offsetLeft; lastY = e.pageY - this.offsetTop; }; canvas.onmouseup = function(e){ painting = false; } canvas.onmousemove = function(e) { if (painting) { mouseX = e.pageX - this.offsetLeft; mouseY = e.pageY - this.offsetTop; // find all points between var x1 = mouseX, x2 = lastX, y1 = mouseY, y2 = lastY; var steep = (Math.abs(y2 - y1) > Math.abs(x2 - x1)); if (steep){ var x = x1; x1 = y1; y1 = x; var y = y2; y2 = x2; x2 = y; } if (x1 > x2) { var x = x1; x1 = x2; x2 = x; var y = y1; y1 = y2; y2 = y; } var dx = x2 - x1, dy = Math.abs(y2 - y1), error = 0, de = dy / dx, yStep = -1, y = y1; if (y1 < y2) { yStep = 1; } lineThickness = 4; for (var x = x1; x < x2; x++) { if (steep) { ctx.fillRect(y, x, lineThickness , lineThickness ); } else { ctx.fillRect(x, y, lineThickness , lineThickness ); } error += de; if (error >= 0.5) { y += yStep; error -= 1.0; } } lastX = mouseX; lastY = mouseY; } } var button=document.getElementById("clear"); button.onclick=function clearcanvas(){ canvas=document.getElementById("canvas"), ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); ctx.clearRect(0, 0, 250, 250); canvas.width=canvas.height = 250; ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 250, 250);} #clear{border-radius:10px; font-size:8px !important; position:absolute; top:1px;} #canvas{border-radius:10px} <link href="https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/4/w3.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <button id="clear" class="w3-padding w3-xxlarge w3-pink" type="button">Clear Canvas</button> <canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
