# fill method

The `fill` method fills a shape drawn via the `lineTo`, `rect`, `arc` methods and so on.

## Syntax

`context.fill();`

## Example

We draw a square and fill it with `fill`:

`<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.fill();`
