如果你在画线条，请确保不要忘记:

context.beginPath();

否则这些行就不会被清除。

一种简单但不太好读的方式是这样写的:

var canvas = document.getElementId('canvas');

// after doing some rendering

canvas.width = canvas.width;  // clear the whole canvas

如果你在画线条，请确保不要忘记:

context.beginPath();

否则这些行就不会被清除。

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
};

我总是用

ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(255, 255, 255)";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);

对于自定义颜色，和

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

用于使画布透明时清除

使用clearRect方法通过传递x,y坐标和画布的高度和宽度。ClearRect将清除整个画布:

canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
