Starting and Ending a Path

The beginPath() function call starts a path, and the closePath() function call ends the path. When you connect two points inside a path, it is referred to as a subpath. A subpath is considered “closed” if the final point connects to the first point.

Note

The current transformation matrix will affect everything drawn in this path. As we will see when we explore the upcoming section on transformations, we will always want to set the transformation matrix to the identity (or reset) if we do not want any transformation applied to a path.
