The moveTo() function

• Arguments to the function
• An example

The moveTo() function is used whilst drawing paths to the canvas to move the 'pen' to a new set of coordinates without drawing a line between them. Like the lineTo() function, only a single pair of X/Y coordinates is given to the function. With some of the path functions (eg bezierCurveTo(), quadraticCurveTo()) the first point is specified by using the moveTo() function.

Arguments to the function

• The X coordinate
• The Y coordinate

An example

<script>
    window.onload = function ()
    {
        var canvas  = document.getElementById("cvs");
        var context = canvas.getContext('2d');

        context.beginPath();
        context.moveTo(100, 100);
        context.lineTo(200, 200);
        context.stroke();
    }
</script>
