To make it more simple, in order to work with a canvas element that you have in HTML file, you have to do this in JavaScript: var can = document.getElementById("..."); var c = can.getContext("2d"); ***Note that variable names(can, c) can be chosen by you (you can change them as you wish).

ctx and c are just variable names they have nothing to do with canvas or context but here c would get the canvas element and ctx would access the canvas '2d' methods

It can be assumed that 'c' is the variable for the page's Canvas element. If not, then that code is erroneous. var c = document.querySelector("#canvas"); var ctx = c.getContext("2d"); 'ctx' is used to grab the Context of Canvas.

if you are talking about creating a context for a canvas, c is the html DOM element of the canvas. Then you use getContext("2d") to get a context from the canvas element. 3d canvas is supposedly in work.
