HTMLCanvasElement.width
The HTMLCanvasElement.width
property is a
positive integer
reflecting the width
HTML
attribute of the <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 300
is used.
This is one of the two properties, the other being
HTMLCanvasElement.height
, that controls the size of the canvas.
Syntax
var pxl = canvas.width;
canvas.width = pxl;
Examples
Given this <canvas>
element:
<canvas id="canvas" width="300" height="300"></canvas>
You can get the width of the canvas with the following code:
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
console.log(canvas.width); // 300
