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

最短的方法:

canvas.width += 0

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

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

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

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);
