最短的方法:

canvas.width += 0

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
};

这些都是如何清除标准画布的好例子，但如果你使用的是paperjs，那么这将工作:

用JavaScript定义一个全局变量:

var clearCanvas = false;

从你的PaperScript定义:

function onFrame(event){
    if(clearCanvas && project.activeLayer.hasChildren()){
        project.activeLayer.removeChildren();
        clearCanvas = false;
    }
}

现在无论你在哪里设置clearCanvas为true，它都会从屏幕上清除所有的项目。

这适用于我的pieChart in chart.js

<div class="pie_nut" id="pieChartContainer">
    <canvas id="pieChart" height="5" width="6"></canvas> 
</div>

$('#pieChartContainer').html(''); //remove canvas from container
$('#pieChartContainer').html('<canvas id="pieChart" height="5" width="6"></canvas>'); //add it back to the container

最快的方式:

canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
c = canvas.getContext("2d");

//... some drawing here

i = c.createImageData(canvas.width, canvas.height);
c.putImageData(i, 0, 0); // clear context by putting empty image data

一个快速的方法就是去做

canvas.width = canvas.width

我不知道它是如何工作的，但它确实如此!
