<p><strong><code><span>HTMLCanvasElement</span></code></strong> 介面提供控制 canvas 元素的屬性和方法. <code>HTMLCanvasElement</code> 介面也繼承了 {{domxref("HTMLElement")}} 介面的屬性和方法.</p>

<h2 id="屬性">屬性</h2>

<p><em>從父代繼承的屬性，</em><em>{{domxref("HTMLElement")}}.</em></p>

<dl>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.height")}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a positive <code>integer</code> reflecting the {{htmlattrxref("height", "canvas")}} HTML attribute of the {{HTMLElement("canvas")}} element interpreted in CSS pixels. When the attribute is not specified, or if it is set to an invalid value, like a negative, the default value of <code>150</code> is used.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.mozOpaque")}} {{non-standard_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a {{jsxref("Boolean")}} reflecting the {{htmlattrxref("moz-opaque", "canvas")}} HTML attribute of the {{HTMLElement("canvas")}} element. It lets the canvas know whether or not translucency will be a factor. If the canvas knows there's no translucency, painting performance can be optimized.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.width")}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a positive <code>integer</code> reflecting the {{htmlattrxref("width", "canvas")}} HTML attribute of the {{HTMLElement("canvas")}} element interpreted in CSS pixels. When the attribute is not specified, or if it is set to an invalid value, like a negative, the default value of <code>300</code> is used.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.mozPrintCallback")}}{{non-standard_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Is a <code>function</code> that is Initially null, Web content can set this to a JavaScript function that will be called if the page is printed. This function can then redraw the canvas at a higher resolution that is suitable for the printer being used. <a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/labs/2012/09/a-new-way-to-control-printing-output/">See this blog post.</a></dd>

<p><em>從父代繼承的方法, </em><em>{{domxref("HTMLElement")}}.</em></p>

<dl>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.captureStream()")}} {{experimental_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns a {{domxref("CanvasCaptureMediaStream")}} that is a real-time video capture of the surface of the canvas.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.getContext()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns a drawing context on the canvas, or null if the context ID is not supported. A drawing context lets you draw on the canvas. Calling getContext with <code>"2d"</code> returns a {{domxref("CanvasRenderingContext2D")}} object, whereas calling it with <code>"experimental-webgl"</code> (or <code>"webgl"</code>) returns a {{domxref("WebGLRenderingContext")}} object. This context is only available on browsers that implement <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/WebGL">WebGL</a>.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.toDataURL()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns a data-URL containing a representation of the image in the format specified by the <code>type</code> parameter (defaults to <code>png</code>). The returned image is in a resolution of 96dpi.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.toBlob()")}}</dt>
 <dd>Creates a {{domxref("Blob")}} object representing the image contained in the canvas; this file may be cached on the disk or stored in memory at the discretion of the user agent.</dd>
 <dt>{{domxref("HTMLCanvasElement.mozGetAsFile()")}} {{non-standard_inline}} {{deprecated_inline}}</dt>
 <dd>Returns a {{domxref("File")}} object representing the image contained in the canvas; this file is a memory-based file, with the specified <code>name</code>. If <code>type</code> is not specified, the image type is <code>image/png</code>.</dd>
