ctx is just a variable name
but mostly it is used when getting context for a canvas element in a html page:
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100"></canvas>
and in the Javascript code:
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
the getContext("2d") method provides tools to draw 2 dimensional objects on the canvas.
any actions like
drawing line:
ctx.moveTo(0,0); // start from point 0,0
ctx.lineTo(200,100); // draw a line from current location to (200, 100
ctx.stroke(); // draw the line
notice that to draw on the canvas, we are using the ctx object to draw and not the canvas object.
