HTML <canvas> tag
The canvas element is used in scripting to draw visuals on the fly (usually JavaScript). The <canvas>
tag is translucent and merely serves as a container for graphics you must use a script to render the visuals.
Any text included within the <canvas>
element will be shown in browsers that do not support <canvas>
or have JavaScript disabled.
This tag is used as a container in an HTML page to render graphics such as 2D objects and bitmap pictures. <script>
tags are used to draw the actual images within this container.
