How do I reset the canvas upon button click?
I attempted:
cx.fillRect()
However, the above method did not work as expected. I simply want to refresh the canvas without reloading the entire page.
Below is my current code snippet:
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var cx = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.height = 300;
canvas.width = 600;
function branch(length, angle, scale) {
var r = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
var g = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
var b = Math.floor(Math.random() * 255);
cx.fillStyle = 'rgb(' + r + ',' + g + ',' + b + ')';
cx.fill();
cx.fillRect(0, 0, 1, length);
if (length < 8) return;
cx.save();
cx.translate(0, length);
cx.rotate(-angle);
branch(length * scale, angle, scale);
cx.rotate(2 * angle);
branch(length * scale, angle, scale);
cx.restore();
}
cx.translate(300, 2);
function change() {
a = Math.random();
branch(60, a, 0.8);
