警告！
将整个画布保存为图像以进行撤销/重做会消耗大量内存并且会影响性能。
然而，你逐步保存用户的绘图到一个数组的想法仍然是一个好主意。
不要保存整个画布作为图像，只需创建一个点数组来记录用户绘制时每次mousemove事件。这就是您的“绘图数组”，可以用它完全重新绘制画布。
当用户拖动鼠标时，他们正在创建折线（一组相连的线段）。 当用户拖动以创建线条时，请将该mousemove点保存到绘图数组中，并将其折线延伸到当前mousemove位置。
function handleMouseMove(e) {
// calc where the mouse is on the canvas
mouseX = parseInt(e.clientX - offsetX);
mouseY = parseInt(e.clientY - offsetY);
// if the mouse is being dragged (mouse button is down)
// then keep drawing a polyline to this new mouse position
if (isMouseDown) {
// extend the polyline
ctx.lineTo(mouseX, mouseY);
ctx.stroke();
// save this x/y because we might be drawing from here
// on the next mousemove
lastX = mouseX;
lastY = mouseY;
// Command pattern stuff: Save the mouse position and
// the size/color of the brush to the "undo" array
points.push({
x: mouseX,
y: mouseY,
size: brushSize,
color: brushColor,
mode: "draw"
});
}
}
如果用户想要“撤消”，只需从绘图数组中弹出最后一个点：
function undoLastPoint() {
// remove the last drawn point from the drawing array
var lastPoint=points.pop();
// add the "undone" point to a separate redo array
redoStack.unshift(lastPoint);
// redraw all the remaining points
redrawAll();
}
Redo通常更为复杂。
最简单的Redo是当用户只能在撤销之后立即重做。将每个“撤销”点保存在单独的“重做”数组中。然后，如果用户想要重做，您只需将重做位添加回到主数组中即可。
问题在于，如果允许用户在进行更多绘图后“重新执行”，就会变得复杂。
例如，您可能会得到一只带有2条尾巴的狗：一个新绘制的尾巴和第二个“重做”尾巴！因此，如果允许在额外绘图后执行重做，则需要一种方式来防止用户在重做期间感到困惑。Matt Greer的“层叠”重做思路非常好。只需修改该思路，保存重做点而不是整个画布图像。然后，用户可以切换重做的开/关状态以查看是否要保留重做。
这里是我为先前问题创建的undo数组的示例：Drawing to canvas like in paint
