What’s Not Part of the State?
The current path (which we will explore later in this chapter) and current bitmap (see Chapter 4) being manipulated on the Canvas context are not part of the saved state. This very important feature will allow us to draw and animate individual objects on the canvas. The section Simple Canvas Transformations utilizes the Canvas state to apply transformations to only the current shape being constructed and drawn, leaving the rest of the canvas not transformed.
