Canvas:clear
Available since LÖVE 0.8.0 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0
It has been replaced by love.graphics.clear.
Clears the contents of a Canvas to a specific color.
Calling this function directly after the Canvas becomes active (via love.graphics.setCanvas or Canvas:renderTo) is more efficient than calling it when the Canvas isn't active, especially on mobile devices.
love.graphics.setScissor will restrict the area of the Canvas that this function affects.
