The Canvas

The canvas function is what handles all of the logic and processing in order to produce drawings. It's usually called with a code block {...} as argument. The content of the curly braces is the body of the canvas. Import all the draw functions you need at the top of the body:

#cetz.canvas({
  import cetz.draw: *

})

You can now call the draw functions within the body and they'll produce some graphics! Typst will evaluate the code block and pass the result to the canvas function for rendering.

The canvas does not have typical width and height parameters. Instead its size will grow and shrink to fit the drawn graphic.

By default 1 coordinate unit is 1cm, this can be changed by setting the length parameter. If a ratio is given, the length will be the size of the canvas' parent's width!
