License
RGraph can be used for free under the GPL or if
that doesn't suit your situation there's an
inexpensive (£129) commercial license available.The fillText function
The fillText function can be used to add text (not just the outline of
text) to your canvas. You give three arguments
to the function - the text, the X and Y coordinates. But remember that by
default the text is left and bottom aligned
- so if you give coordinates of [0,0] without changing the alignment you
might not see the text because it will be
drawn off-canvas.
Arguments to the function
- The text to display
- The X coordinate
- The Y coordinate
An example
<script>
window.onload = function ()
{
var canvas = document.getElementById("cvs");
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.font = '36pt Arial';
context.fillText('Some example text', 50, 50);
}
</script>
