function drawFlag(ctx){
}

  let w = 75;
  let h = 48;
  function stripes(x,y,cl){
    ctx.translate(x,y);
    cl.forEach((c,i)=>{
      ctx.fillStyle = c;
      ctx.fillRect(0,i*h/cl.length,75,h/cl.length);
    });
    ctx.translate(-x,-y);
  }
  stripes(10,10,['white','red']);
  stripes(95,10,['yellow','yellow','blue','red']);
