## PIXI. CanvasRenderer

#### new CanvasRenderer(game)

  The CanvasRenderer draws the Stage and all its content onto a 2d canvas. This renderer should be used for browsers that do not support webGL.
  Don't forget to add the CanvasRenderer.view to your DOM or you will not see anything :)

#### clearBeforeRender :Boolean

  This sets if the CanvasRenderer will clear the canvas or not before the new render pass.
  If the Stage is NOT transparent Pixi will use a canvas sized fillRect operation every frame to set the canvas background color.
  If the Stage is transparent Pixi will use clearRect to clear the canvas every frame.
  Disable this by setting this to false. For example if your game has a canvas filling background image you often don't need this set.
