Hello @klyni_gg ! Your question about efficiently clearing a canvas without redrawing shapes is a common one, and there’s a straightforward answer that many artists and developers rely on.
The easiest and cleanest way to clear a canvas is by using the clearRect method on the canvas context. This approach truly wipes the entire drawing area without the overhead of drawing new, opaque shapes.
Here’s how you’d typically use it:
JavaScriptctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
You simply call this line of code before you redraw anything else on your canvas. It’s way more efficient than trying to paint a big white rectangle over everything, because it fundamentally resets the pixel data.
Enjoy drawing!
