I'm trying to scale an image that has already been draw into canvas.
This is the code:
var canvas = document.getElementById('splash-container');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.onload = function() {
// draw image at its original size
context.drawImage(imageObj, 0, 0);
};
imageObj.src = 'images/mine.jpeg';
// Now let's scale the image.
// something like...
imageObj.scale(0.3, 0.3);
How should I do?
You're thinking about it wrong. Once you've drawn the image onto the canvas it has no relationship to the imageObj object. Nothing you do to imageObj will affect what's already drawn. If you want to scale the image, do in the drawImage function:
drawImage(imgObj, 0, 0, imgObj.width * 0.3, imgObj.height * 0.3)
If you want to animate the scaling or are looking to achieve some other effect which requires you to draw the image at full size initially you'll have to first clear it before drawing the scaled down image.
What robertc says is correct, but if you really wanted to scale an image on a canvas after drawing it for some reason, you could just scale the whole canvas using the CSS width/height properties and that would scale the image without having to redraw it.

Still very much a newbie to coding, so please be gentle :)
I'm hoping someone might be able to help how to use Paper.js on a second canvas after the first one has been executed?
I'm trying to use x2 canvas elements:
Canvas 1 - to capture a html5 video image still and convert to base64 (tick :-) = done)
Canvas 2 - Use the base64 image and perform the 'Working with Rasters to find the colors of pixels' and convert to circle paths (boo = fail :-( )
Something like this:
The code:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/hls.js#latest"></script>
<video id="video" preload="auto" muted="" playsinline="" width="580" src="blob:https://www.georgefisher.co.uk/78e3a45c-ae07-4ea5-af56-45a5ed9cf1b0"></video>
<script>
var video = document.getElementById('video');
var videoSrc = 'https://camsecure.co/HLS/georgefisher.m3u8';
if (Hls.isSupported()) {
var hls = new Hls();
hls.loadSource(videoSrc);
hls.attachMedia(video);
}
else if (video.canPlayType('application/vnd.apple.mpegurl')) {
video.src = videoSrc;
}
video.play()
</script>
<br>
<button onclick="capture()">Capture</button>
<br>
<canvas id="canvas" style="overflow:auto">
</canvas>
<canvas id="canvas2" resize>
<img src="" id="myImg"/></canvas>
var resultb64="";
function capture() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var video = document.getElementById('video');
canvas.width = video.videoWidth/4;
canvas.height = video.videoHeight/4;
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video, 0, 0, video.videoWidth/4, video.videoHeight/4);
resultb64=canvas.toDataURL();
document.querySelector("#myImg").src = canvas.toDataURL();
}
/*Paper JS Setup for working in CodePen */
/* ====================== *

// expose paperjs classes into global scope
paper.install(window);
// Only executed our code once the DOM is ready.
window.onload = function() {
// bind paper to the canvas
paper.setup('canvas2');
// paper.activate();
// Get a reference to the canvas object
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas2');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// console.log(ctx, image);
// ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0);
// return;
// }
// Create a raster item using the image id='' tag
var image = document.querySelector('img');
var raster = new Raster(image);
// Hide the raster:
raster.visible = false;
// The size of our grid cells:
var gridSize = 15;
// Space the cells by 120%:
var spacing = 1
;
// As the web is asynchronous, we need to wait for the raster to load before we can perform any operation on its pixels.
raster.onLoad = function() {
// Since the example image we're using is much too large, and therefore has way too many pixels, lets downsize it to 40 pixels wide and 30 pixels high:
raster.size = new Size(40, 30);
for (var y = 0; y < raster.height; y++) {
for(var x = 0; x < raster.width; x++) {
// Get the color of the pixel:
var color = raster.getPixel(x, y);
// Create a circle shaped path:
var path = new Path.Circle({
center: new Point(x, y).multiply(gridSize),
radius: gridSize / 2 / spacing,
});
// Set the fill color of the path to the color
// of the pixel:
path.fillColor = color;
}
}
// Move the active layer to the center of the view, so all the created paths in it appear centered.
project.activeLayer.position = view.center;
}
}
I've tried giving the second canvas a different Id="canvas2" and referencing that, which I can see in the console. However, nothing appears in the second canvas and the paper.js script doesn't seem to execute, can someone help me understand why?
Please see also see link to the fiddle below:

Alternatives method.
You don't need to capture the video, you don't need to capture the pixels using paper.js and raster. You don't need to find the color of each circle and draw it.
All these methods are slow, complex, and power hungry.
You can create a mask and mask out the circles, with the colors drawn from a smaller canvas with a res that matches the number off circles.
How to
Add one (main canvas) canvas to the DOM. This will display the result
Create 2 offscreen canvas.
One (color canvas) has the same resolution as the circles you want to display. Eg if you have 30 by 40 circle the canvas res should be 30 by 40
One (mask canvas) is the circle mask. It is the same resolution as the main canvas. Draw the circles all in one color on this canvas.
Then rendering once a frame
Draw the video on the color canvas to fit.
Turn off smoothing on the main canvas eg ctxMain.imageSmoothingEnabled = false
Draw the color canvas onto the main canvas to fit.
This will draw a color square at each circle position. ctx.drawImage(colorCanvas, 0, 0, mainCanvas.width, mainCanvas.height)
Set composite operation "destination-in" eg ctxMain.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-in"
Draw the mask canvas (canvas with circles on it) onto the main canvas. This will remove pixels outside each circle.
Restore default composite operation for the main canvas ctxMain.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over"
All done for a real-time FX on almost any device.
The above methods is the fastest way to render the effect you are after using the 2D API
Among the functions of fabric js, there is a method or property that crops objects except canvas, but I did not find a function to crop the canvas itself. I tried changing the canvas to an image in the following way, cropping it, and then inserting it back into the canvas.
fabric.Image.fromURL(canvas.toDataURL(), img => {
currentImage = img; //save current canvas as image
currentImage.set({
scaleX : canvas.width / currentImage.width,
scaleY : canvas.height / currentImage.height,
cropX: selectionRect.left,
cropY: selectionRect.top,
width: selectionRect.getScaledWidth(),
height: selectionRect.getScaledHeight(),
});
canvas.setDimensions({
width: selectionRect.getScaledWidth(),
height: selectionRect.getScaledHeight()
});
canvas.setBackgroundImage(currentImage).renderAll();
but in this case, an image with a transparent background becomes a background.
If you look at the following picture, a picture of a flower without a background is on the canvas, and What I want is to resize the canvas by the dotted rectangle area without making any objects on the canvas an image as follows.
before crop:
after crop:
Just as the starting range and area are determined with attributes such as cropX or cropY when cropping an object, I would like to know how to apply this to the canvas as well.
Im trying to get canvas to work, what i'm trying to do is make an image(from an existing image) and place a text on it. I want the text to be rotated on the left side of the image. The moment i try to rotate the text, i can't see it anymore in the canvas. Im using the following solution:
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
ctx.save();
ctx.rotate(-0.5*Math.PI);
ctx.font = "12px Arial";
ctx.fillStyle = 'white';
ctx.textBaseline = 'top';
ctx.fillText("copyright", 0, 0);
ctx.restore();
var image = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg");
With this solution i cannot see the text anymore. When i delete the rotation and make the code into the following, everything works fine the image is rendered and the text is rendered on the image.
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
ctx.rotate(-0.5*Math.PI);
ctx.font = "12px Arial";
ctx.fillStyle = 'white';
ctx.textBaseline = 'top';
ctx.fillText("copyright", 0, 0);
var image = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg");
Can anyone see the mistake im making, or does someone have a solution to this problem of mine?
[edit]
I've made a jsfiddle showing the problem http://jsfiddle.net/7kzuN/4/
Before rotating you should always set the rotation point.
Think of the rotation point as a pencil-tip pressed on on a piece of paper.
When you rotate, the paper will rotate around the point of the pencil-tip.
You set the rotation point using context.translate(x,y).
To rotate on the left side of the image, you would translate something like this:
// set the rotation point
ctx.translate(6,img.height/2);
This sets your rotation point 6 pixels off the left side and at the vertical-center of the image.
Here's example code and a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/ANpPm/
var canvas=document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d");
var img=new Image();
img.crossOrigin="anonymous";
img.onload=start;
img.src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/139992952/houseIcon.png";
function start(){
canvas.width=img.width;
canvas.height=img.height;
// draw the image
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
// save the unrotated context
ctx.save();
// set the rotation point with translate
ctx.translate(6,img.height/2);
// rotate by -90 degrees
ctx.rotate(-0.5*Math.PI);
// draw the copyright bar
ctx.fillStyle="black";
ctx.fillRect(-img.height/2,-6,img.height,14);
ctx.font = "12px Arial";
ctx.fillStyle = 'white';
ctx.textBaseline = 'top';
ctx.fillText("copyright", -img.height/2+5,-6);
// restore the context to its unrotated state
ctx.restore();
// save the image+text to a dataURL
var image = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg");
}
I'm receiving images via a websocket in base64 format and then drawing the images on a canvas using:
var img=new Image();
img.onload = function() {
cxt.drawImage(img, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
};
img.src = "data:image/jpeg;base64,"+imgData;
Is it possible to change this code and somehow only draw the pixels that have changed? And if it is possible, would this even increase the performance? Thanks for the help. :)
What would be more efficient first would be to only send/receive images deltas ( what has changed) between images, then draw that on your canvas.
I implemented a zoom in and out function on a canvas element.
it works by scaling the canvas, translating it, and then redraw the whole scene again.
the problem is that it takes a lot of time to redraw everything because i got a lot of things on my canvas.
I need a way to copy the canvas to an image object and than copy the image back to the canvas without loosing quality. what are the specific methods to copy canvas to a javascript variable, and to to copy this variable back to the canvas later?
I'll be glad if you write down the code because I couldn't find any good explanation over the internet.
thanks,
The drawImage() method can draw to a canvas using another canvas instead of an image.
You could create a 'backup' canvas, of the same size as your original, draw the first one to there and then draw that one back to the original when you need it.
e.g.
// Assume we have a main canvas
// canvas = <main canvas>
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
..
// create backing canvas
var backCanvas = document.createElement('canvas');
backCanvas.width = canvas.width;
backCanvas.height = canvas.height;
var backCtx = backCanvas.getContext('2d');
// save main canvas contents
backCtx.drawImage(canvas, 0,0);
..
// restore main canvas
ctx.drawImage(backCanvas, 0,0);
There are a few ways to do it theres the getImageData and putImageData methods Reference, However putImageData and getImageData are pretty slow. Another way is to save the data to an image in memory and recall it from that which is much faster, then the third way is the one above mentioned by andrewmu which involves copying to another canvas element. I have included examples for the first and second type.
Image in memory method
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"),
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"),
savedData = new Image();
function save(){
// get the data
savedData.src = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
}
function restore(){
// restore the old canvas
ctx.drawImage(savedData,0,0)
}
getImageData putImageData method
// Setup our vars, make a new image to store the canvas data
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"),
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"),
canvasData = '';
function save(){
// get the data
canvasData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, 100, 100);
}
function restore(){
// restore the old canvas
ctx.putImageData(canvasData, 0, 0);
}
added image into canvas
var image = new Image();
image.src = "1.jpg";
image.onload = function () {
context.drawImage(image, 0, 0);
};
