Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

Internet Explorer 9, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Safari support the fill() method.

Definition and Usage

The fill() method fills the current drawing (path). The default color is black.

Tip: Use the fillStyle property to fill with another color/gradient.

Note: If the path is not closed, the fill() method will add a line from the last point to the startpoint of the path to close the path (like closePath()), and then fill the path.

JavaScript syntax: context.fill();
