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

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

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。

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);

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);

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
