# stroke method

The `stroke` method is called to complete the line drawing with `lineTo`, and to outline shapes drawn, for example, through the `rect` method.

## Syntax

`context.stroke()`

## Example

Let's draw a line:

`<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="200" style="background: #f4f4f4;"></canvas>` `let canvas = document.querySelector('#canvas'); let ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); ctx.beginPath(); ctx.moveTo(50, 50); ctx.lineTo(150, 50); ctx.stroke();`

:

## Example

Let's draw a square:

`<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="200" style="background: #f4f4f4;"></canvas>` `let canvas = document.querySelector('#canvas'); let ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); ctx.beginPath(); ctx.moveTo(50, 50); ctx.lineTo(150, 50); ctx.lineTo(150, 150); ctx.lineTo(50, 150); ctx.closePath(); ctx.stroke();`
