make the drawing take up the full size of the canvas?

[davehorner]

was playing with the codepens and I find that I'm not able to get the canvas to draw the entire canvas sometimes and other times I am.

Hi Dave! Many thanks for your continued interest in SC.

I'm seeing this in your CodePen:

If we add some background colors to the canvas, we can see what's going on:

Solution: Don't use CSS to size the canvas element - let SC do the work for you. The truth is, CSS and the <canvas> element despise each other and will do everything in their power to not play nicely together. SC includes functionality to make the <canvas> element more responsive within the page. This is covered in detail in the second learning thing on the SC website - here: https://scrawl-v8.rikweb.org.uk/learn/second-lesson.

I hope this helps. Happy coding!

thank you and data-is-responsive="true" is awesome! there's a lot of knowledge there. I know I need to spend more time with the library, and I appreciate you pointing out what may seem like the obvious when its the second-lesson. GPT and I will get there. Thanks for having the material ready...I've not seen someone pull a < > copy and paste stopper before to help encourage typing. › replaces >

I got a chuckle. I appreciate the heads up that came with it.
