HTML5 Canvas中提供了实现图形平移,旋转,放缩的API。
平移(translate)
平移坐标translate(x, y)意思是把(0,0)坐标平移到(x, y),原来的(0,0)坐标则变成(-x, -y)
图示如下:

任何原来的坐标点p(ox, oy)在translate之后的坐标点为p(ox-x, oy-y),其中点(x, y)为平移
点坐标translate(x, y)。
代码演示:
// translate is move the startpoint to centera and back to top left corner
**function**renderText(width, height, context) {
   context.translate(width/ 2, height / 2);// 中心点坐标为(0, 0)
   context.font="18px Arial";
   context.fillStyle="blue";
   context.fillText("Please Press <Esc> to Exit Game",5,50);
   context.translate(-width/2,-height/2); // 平移恢复(0,0)坐标为左上角
   context.fillText("I"m Back to Top",5,50);
}
放缩(Scale)
Scale(a, b)意思是将对象沿着XY轴分别放缩至ax, by大小。效果如图示:

// translation the rectangle.
**function**drawPath(context) {
   context.translate(200,200);
   context.scale(2,2);// Scale twice size of original shape
   context.strokeStyle= "green";
   context.beginPath();
   context.moveTo(0,40);
   context.lineTo(80,40);
   context.lineTo(40,80);
   context.closePath();
   context.stroke();
}
旋转(rotate)
旋转角度rotate(Math.PI/8)

旋转前的坐标p(x, y)在对应的旋转后的坐标P(rx, ry)为
Rx = x cos(-angle)- y sin(-angle);
Ry = y cos(-angle) + x sin(-angle);
旋转90度可以简化为:
Rx = y;
Ry = -x;
Canvas中旋转默认的方向为顺时针方向。演示代码如下:
// new point.x = x * cos(-angle) -y * sin(-angle),
// new point.y = y * cos(-angle) +x * sin(-angle)
**function**renderRotateText(context) {
   context.font="24px Arial";
   context.fillStyle="red";
   context.fillText("i"m here!!!",5,50);
   
   // rotate -90 degreee
   // context.rotate(-Math.PI/2);
   // context.fillStyle="blue";
   // context.fillText("i"m here!!!", -400,30);
   
   // rotate 90 degreee
   context.rotate(Math.PI/2);
   context.fillStyle="blue";
   context.fillText("i"m here!!!",350,-420);
   
   console.log(Math.sin(Math.PI/2));
   
   // rotae 90 degree and draw 10 lines
   context.fillStyle="green";
   **for**(**var**i=0; i<4; i++) {
       **var**x = (i+1)*20;
       **var**y = (i+1)*60;
       **var**newX = y;
       **var**newY =-x;  
       context.fillRect(newX,newY, 200, 6);
   }
}
通常做法是旋转与平移一起使用,先将坐标(0,0)平移到中心位置
translate (width/2, height/2)然后再使用rotate(Math.PI/2)完成旋转
代码示例如下:
**function**saveAndRestoreContext(context) {
   context.save();
   context.translate(200,200);
   context.rotate(Math.PI/2);
   context.fillStyle="black";
   context.fillText("2D Context Rotate And Translate", 10, 10);
   context.restore();
   context.fillText("2D Context Rotate And Translate", 10, 10);
}
全部JavaScript代码:
		var tempContext = null; // global variable 2d context
		window.onload = function() {
			var canvas = document.getElementById("target");
			canvas.width = 450;
			canvas.height = 450;
			
			if (!canvas.getContext) {
			    console.log("Canvas not supported. Please install a HTML5 compatible browser.");
			    return;
			}
			
			// get 2D context of canvas and draw image
			tempContext = canvas.getContext("2d");
			// renderText(canvas.width, canvas.height, tempContext);
			saveAndRestoreContext(tempContext);
			// drawPath(tempContext);
		}
		
		// translate is move the start point to centera and back to top left corner
		function renderText(width, height, context) {
			context.translate(width / 2, height / 2);
			context.font="18px Arial";
			context.fillStyle="blue";
			context.fillText("Please Press <Esc> to Exit Game",5,50);
			context.translate(-width / 2, -height / 2);
			context.fillText("I"m Back to Top",5,50);
		}
		
		// translation the rectangle.
		function drawPath(context) {
			context.translate(200, 200);
			context.scale(2,2); // Scale twice size of original shape
			context.strokeStyle = "green";
			context.beginPath();
			context.moveTo(0, 40);
			context.lineTo(80, 40);
			context.lineTo(40, 80);
			context.closePath();
			context.stroke();
		}
		
		// new point.x = x * cos(-angle) - y * sin(-angle), 
		// new point.y = y * cos(-angle) + x * sin(-angle)
		function renderRotateText(context) {
			context.font="24px Arial";
			context.fillStyle="red";
			context.fillText("i"m here!!!",5,50);
			
			// rotate -90 degreee
			// context.rotate(-Math.PI/2);
			// context.fillStyle="blue";
			// context.fillText("i"m here!!!", -400,30);
			
			// rotate 90 degreee
			context.rotate(Math.PI/2);
			context.fillStyle="blue";
			context.fillText("i"m here!!!", 350,-420);
			
			console.log(Math.sin(Math.PI/2));
			
			// rotae 90 degree and draw 10 lines
			context.fillStyle="green";
			for(var i=0; i<4; i++) {
				var x = (i+1)*20;
				var y = (i+1)*60;
				var newX = y;
				var newY = -x;	
				context.fillRect(newX, newY, 200, 6);
			}
		}
		
		function saveAndRestoreContext(context) {
			context.save();
			context.translate(200,200);
			context.rotate(Math.PI/2);
