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>

其他人已经很好地回答了这个问题，但如果一个简单的context对象上的clear()方法对你(对我)有用，这是我基于这里的答案使用的实现:

CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.clear = 
  CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.clear || function (preserveTransform) {
    if (preserveTransform) {
      this.save();
      this.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
    }

    this.clearRect(0, 0, this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height);

    if (preserveTransform) {
      this.restore();
    }           
};

用法:

window.onload = function () {
  var canvas = document.getElementById('canvasId');
  var context = canvas.getContext('2d');

  // do some drawing
  context.clear();

  // do some more drawing
  context.setTransform(-1, 0, 0, 1, 200, 200);
  // do some drawing with the new transform
  context.clear(true);
  // draw more, still using the preserved transform
};

如果你只使用clearRect，如果你在一个表单中提交你的图纸，你会得到一个提交而不是清除，或者可能它可以先清除，然后上传一个无效的图纸，所以你需要在函数的开头添加一个preventDefault:

   function clearCanvas(canvas,ctx) {
        event.preventDefault();
        ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
    }


<input type="button" value="Clear Sketchpad" id="clearbutton" onclick="clearCanvas(canvas,ctx);">

希望它能帮助到别人。

这是我使用的，不管边界和矩阵变换:

function clearCanvas(canvas) {
  const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
  ctx.save();
  ctx.globalCompositeOperation = 'copy';
  ctx.strokeStyle = 'transparent';
  ctx.beginPath();
  ctx.lineTo(0, 0);
  ctx.stroke();
  ctx.restore();
}

基本上，它保存了上下文的当前状态，并以globalCompositeOperation为copy绘制了一个透明像素。然后，恢复以前的上下文状态。

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