<p>Canvas 2D API 的 <code><strong>CanvasRenderingContext2D</strong></code><strong><code>.clearRect()</code></strong> 方法可以設定指定矩形（經由坐標 <em>(x, y)</em> 及大小 <em>(width, height)</em>）範圍內的所有像素為透明，清除所有先前繪製的內容。</p>

<h2 id="Usage_notes">Usage notes</h2>

<p>A common problem with <code>clearRect</code> is that it may appear it does not work when not <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API/Tutorial/Drawing_shapes#Drawing_paths">using paths properly</a>. Don't forget to call {{domxref("CanvasRenderingContext2D.beginPath", "beginPath()")}} before starting to draw the new frame after calling <code>clearRect</code>.</p>

<p>This is just a simple code snippet which uses the <code>clearRect</code> method.</p>

<pre class="brush: html">&lt;canvas id="canvas"&gt;&lt;/canvas&gt;
</pre>

<pre class="brush: js; highlight:[11]">var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
