It’s kind of like an extensible MS Paint in JavaScript. Users can sketch drawings and you can do what you like with the results. comes with an easy-to-use jQuery plugin. It’s developed by the community for many purposes and is free to use and extend. Literally Canvas is intended to live inside your application in the way that works best for you. There is a public API for adding new shapes and tools.
