How to draw a rounded Rectangle on HTML Canvas?

Question

I found that there are only can fill rectangle, but no rounded corner one, how can I do that?

Answer 1

Juan, I made a slight improvement to your method to allow for changing each rectangle corner radius individually:

/** 
 * Draws a rounded rectangle using the current state of the canvas.  
 * If you omit the last three params, it will draw a rectangle  
 * outline with a 5 pixel border radius  
 * @param {Number} x The top left x coordinate 
 * @param {Number} y The top left y coordinate  
 * @param {Number} width The width of the rectangle  
 * @param {Number} height The height of the rectangle 
 * @param {Object} radius All corner radii. Defaults to 0,0,0,0; 
 * @param {Boolean} fill Whether to fill the rectangle. Defaults to false. 
 * @param {Boolean} stroke Whether to stroke the rectangle. Defaults to true. 
 */
CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.roundRect = function (x, y, width, height, radius, fill, stroke) {
    var cornerRadius = { upperLeft: 0, upperRight: 0, lowerLeft: 0, lowerRight: 0 };
    if (typeof stroke == "undefined") {
        stroke = true;
    }
    if (typeof radius === "object") {
        for (var side in radius) {
            cornerRadius[side] = radius[side];
        }
    }

    this.beginPath();
    this.moveTo(x + cornerRadius.upperLeft, y);
    this.lineTo(x + width - cornerRadius.upperRight, y);
    this.quadraticCurveTo(x + width, y, x + width, y + cornerRadius.upperRight);
    this.lineTo(x + width, y + height - cornerRadius.lowerRight);
    this.quadraticCurveTo(x + width, y + height, x + width - cornerRadius.lowerRight, y + height);
    this.lineTo(x + cornerRadius.lowerLeft, y + height);
    this.quadraticCurveTo(x, y + height, x, y + height - cornerRadius.lowerLeft);
    this.lineTo(x, y + cornerRadius.upperLeft);
    this.quadraticCurveTo(x, y, x + cornerRadius.upperLeft, y);
    this.closePath();
    if (stroke) {
        this.stroke();
    }
    if (fill) {
        this.fill();
    }
} 

Use it like this:

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var c = canvas.getContext("2d");
c.fillStyle = "blue";
c.roundRect(50, 100, 50, 100, {upperLeft:10,upperRight:10}, true, true);

    var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
    document.body.appendChild(canvas);
    var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(100,100);
    ctx.arcTo(0,100,0,0,30);
    ctx.arcTo(0,0,100,0,30);
    ctx.arcTo(100,0,100,100,30);
    ctx.arcTo(100,100,0,100,30);
    ctx.fill();

Opera, ffs.

if (window["CanvasRenderingContext2D"]) {
    /** @expose */
    CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.roundRect = function(x, y, w, h, r) {
        if (w < 2*r) r = w/2;
        if (h < 2*r) r = h/2;
        this.beginPath();
        if (r < 1) {
            this.rect(x, y, w, h);
        } else {
            if (window["opera"]) {
                this.moveTo(x+r, y);
                this.arcTo(x+r, y, x, y+r, r);
                this.lineTo(x, y+h-r);
                this.arcTo(x, y+h-r, x+r, y+h, r);
                this.lineTo(x+w-r, y+h);
                this.arcTo(x+w-r, y+h, x+w, y+h-r, r);
                this.lineTo(x+w, y+r);
                this.arcTo(x+w, y+r, x+w-r, y, r);
            } else {
                this.moveTo(x+r, y);
                this.arcTo(x+w, y, x+w, y+h, r);
                this.arcTo(x+w, y+h, x, y+h, r);
                this.arcTo(x, y+h, x, y, r);
                this.arcTo(x, y, x+w, y, r);
            }
        }
        this.closePath();
    };
    /** @expose */
    CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.fillRoundRect = function(x, y, w, h, r) {
        this.roundRect(x, y, w, h, r);
        this.fill();
    };
    /** @expose */
    CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.strokeRoundRect = function(x, y, w, h, r) {
        this.roundRect(x, y, w, h, r);
        this.stroke();
    };
}

Since Opera is going WebKit, this should also remain valid in the legacy case.
