I'm working on a certain layout where I need to draw a hexagon which needs to be clickable. I'm using the Path2D construct and isPointInPath function. I'm constructing an animation where a number of hexagons is created and then each moved to a certain position. After the movement is done, I am attaching onclick event handlers to certain hexagons. However there is weird behaviour.
Some initialized variables
const COLOR_DARK = "#73b6c6";
const COLOR_LIGHT = "#c3dadd";
const COLOR_PRIMARY = "#39a4c9";
const TYPE_PRIMARY = 'primary';
let hexagons = [];
Below is the function which draws the hexagons.
function drawHex(ctx, x, y, hexProps, stroke, color) {
let myPath = new Path2D();
myPath.moveTo(x + hexProps.width*0.5, y);
myPath.lineTo(x, y + hexProps.height*hexProps.facShort);
myPath.lineTo(x, y + hexProps.height*hexProps.facLong);
myPath.lineTo(x + hexProps.width*0.5, y + hexProps.height);
myPath.lineTo(x + hexProps.width, y + hexProps.height*hexProps.facLong);
myPath.lineTo(x + hexProps.width, y + hexProps.height*hexProps.facShort);
myPath.lineTo(x + hexProps.width*0.5, y);
myPath.closePath();
if (stroke){
ctx.strokeStyle = color;
ctx.stroke(myPath);
} else {
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.fill(myPath);
}
return myPath;
}
This function populates the hexagon array
function populateLeftHex(canvasWidth, canvasHeight, hexProps) {
const startX = canvasWidth / 2;
const startY = canvasHeight / 2;
const baseLeft = canvasWidth * 0.05;
for(let i = 0; i < 5; i++){
let hexNumber = (i % 4 == 0)? 2: 1;
for(let j = 0; j < hexNumber; j++){
hexagons.push({
startX: startX,
startY: startY,
endX: baseLeft + (2 * j) + ((i % 2 == 0)? (hexProps.width * j) : (hexProps.width/2)),
endY: ((i + 1) * hexProps.height) - ((i) * hexProps.height * hexProps.facShort) + (i* 2),
stroke: true,
color: ( i % 2 == 0 && j % 2 == 0)? COLOR_DARK : COLOR_LIGHT,
type: TYPE_PRIMARY
});
}
}
}
And here is where Im calling the isPointInPath function.
window.onload = function (){
const c = document.getElementById('canvas');
const canvasWidth = c.width = window.innerWidth,
canvasHeight = c.height = window.innerHeight,
ctx = c.getContext('2d');
window.requestAnimFrame = (function (callback) {
return window.requestAnimationFrame || window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame || window.mozRequestAnimationFrame || window.oRequestAnimationFrame || window.msRequestAnimationFrame || function (callback) {
window.setTimeout(callback, 1000 / 60);
};
})();
console.log(canvasWidth);
let hexProps = {
width: canvasWidth * 0.075,
get height () {
return this.width/Math.sqrt(3) + (1.5)*(this.width/Math.sqrt(2)/2);
} ,
facShort: 0.225,
get facLong () {
return 1 - this.facShort;
}
};
populateLeftHex(canvasWidth, canvasHeight, hexProps);
let pct = 0;
const fps = 200;
animate();
function animate () {
setTimeout(function () {
// increment pct towards 100%
pct += .03;
// if we're not done, request another animation frame
if (pct < 1.00) {
requestAnimFrame(animate);
} else { //if pct is no longer less than 1.00, then the movement animation is over.
hexagons.forEach(function (hex) {
if(hex.type === TYPE_PRIMARY) {
console.info(hex.path);
c.onclick = function(e) {
let x = e.clientX - c.offsetLeft,
y = e.clientY - c.offsetTop;
console.info(ctx.isPointInPath(hex.path, (e.clientX - c.offsetLeft), (e.clientY - c.offsetTop) ));
};
}
})
}
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, c.width, c.height);
// draw all hexagons
for ( let i = 0; i < hexagons.length; i++) {
// get reference to next shape
let hex = hexagons[i];
// note: dx/dy are fixed values
// they could be put in the shape object for efficiency
let dx = hex.endX - hex.startX;
let dy = hex.endY - hex.startY;
let nextX = hex.startX + dx * pct;
let nextY = hex.startY + dy * pct;
hex = hexagons[i];
ctx.fillStyle = hex.color;
hex.path = drawHex(ctx, nextX, nextY, hexProps, hex.stroke, hex.color);
}
}, 1000 / fps);
}
Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Maybe I misunderstood how Path2D works? Thanks in advance.
Had to do a bit of work to build a test page as your example is incomplete, but this is working for me - though my hexagon is concave...
var myCanvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = myCanvas.getContext("2d");
var hexProps = {width:100, height:100, facShort:-2, facLong:10};
var hexagons = [];
function drawHex(ctx, x, y, hexProps, stroke, color) {
let myPath = new Path2D();
myPath.moveTo(x + hexProps.width*0.5, y);
myPath.lineTo(x, y + hexProps.height*hexProps.facShort);
myPath.lineTo(x, y + hexProps.height*hexProps.facLong);
myPath.lineTo(x + hexProps.width*0.5, y + hexProps.height);
myPath.lineTo(x + hexProps.width, y + hexProps.height*hexProps.facLong);
myPath.lineTo(x + hexProps.width, y + hexProps.height*hexProps.facShort);
myPath.lineTo(x + hexProps.width*0.5, y);
myPath.closePath();
if (stroke){
ctx.strokeStyle = color;
ctx.stroke(myPath);
} else {
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.fill(myPath);
}
return myPath;
}
hexagons.push({type:0, path:drawHex(ctx,100,100,hexProps,false,"#0f0")});
hexagons.forEach(function (hex) {
if(hex.type === 0) {
console.info(hex.path);
myCanvas.onclick = function(e) {
let x = e.clientX - myCanvas.offsetLeft,
y = e.clientY - myCanvas.offsetTop;
console.info(x,y);
console.info(ctx.isPointInPath(hex.path, (e.clientX -
myCanvas.offsetLeft), (e.clientY - myCanvas.offsetTop) ));
};
}
})

I created simple tilemap using Tiled (3200 x 3200 pixels). I loaded it on my canvas using this library
I draw entire tilemap 3200 x 3200 60 times per seocnd.
I tried to move around and it works fine. Btw, I move around canvas using ctx.translate. I included this in my own function
But when I created bigger map in Tiled ( 32000 x 32000 pixels ) - I got a very freezing page. I couldn't move around fast, I think there was about 10 fps
So how to fix it? I have to call drawTiles() function 60 times per second. But is there any way to draw only visible part of the tile? Like draw only what I see on my screen (0, 0, monitorWidth, monitorHeight I guess)
Thank you
##Drawing a large tileset
If you have a large tile set and only see part of it in the canvas you just need to calculate the tile at the top left of the canvas and the number of tiles across and down that will fit the canvas.
Then draw the square array of tiles that fit the canvas.
In the example the tile set is 1024 by 1024 tiles (worldTileCount = 1024), each tile is 64 by 64 pixels tileSize = 64, making the total playfield 65536 pixels square
The position of the top left tile is set by the variables worldX, worldY
###Function to draw tiles
// val | 0 is the same as Math.floor(val)
var worldX = 512 * tileSize; // pixel position of playfield
var worldY = 512 * tileSize;
function drawWorld(){
const c = worldTileCount; // get the width of the tile array
const s = tileSize; // get the tile size in pixels
// get the tile position
const tx = worldX / s | 0; // get the top left tile
const ty = worldY / s | 0;
// get the number of tiles that will fit the canvas
const tW = (canvas.width / s | 0) + 2;
const tH = (canvas.height / s | 0) + 2;
// set the location. Must floor to pixel boundary or you get holes
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,-worldX | 0,-worldY | 0);
// Draw the tiles across and down
for(var y = 0; y < tH; y += 1){
for(var x = 0; x < tW; x += 1){
// get the index into the tile array for the tile at x,y plus the topleft tile
const i = tx + x + (ty + y) * c;
// get the tile id from the tileMap. If outside map default to tile 6
const tindx = tileMap[i] === undefined ? 6 : tileMap[i];
// draw the tile at its location. last 2 args are x,y pixel location
imageTools.drawSpriteQuick(tileSet, tindx, (tx + x) * s, (ty + y) * s);
}
}
}
###setTransform and absolute coordinates.
Use absolute coordinates makes everything simple.
Use the canvas context setTransform to set the world position and then each tile can be drawn at its own coordinate.
// set the world location. The | 0 floors the values and ensures no holes
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1,-worldX | 0,-worldY | 0);
That way if you have a character at position 51023, 34256 you can just draw it at that location.
playerX = 51023;
playerY = 34256;
ctx.drawImage(myPlayerImage,playerX,playerY);
If you want the tile map relative to the player then just set the world position to be half the canvas size up and to the left plus one tile to ensure overlap
playerX = 51023;
playerY = 34256;
worldX = playerX - canvas.width / 2 - tileWidth;
worldY = playerY - canvas.height / 2 - tileHeight;
###Demo of large 65536 by 65536 pixel tile map.
At 60fps if you have the horses and can handle much much bigger without any frame rate loss. (map size limit using this method is approx 4,000,000,000 by 4,000,000,000pixels (32 bit integers coordinates))
#UPDATE 15/5/2019 re Jitter
The comments have pointed out that there is some jitter as the map scrolls.
I have made changes to smooth out the random path with a strong ease in out turn every 240 frame (4 seconds at 60fps) Also added a frame rate reducer, if you click and hold the mouse button on the canvas the frame rate will be slowed to 1/8th normal so that the jitter is easier to see.
There are two reasons for the jitter.
###Time error
The first and least is the time passed to the update function by requestAnimationFrame, the interval is not perfect and rounding errors due to the time is compounding the alignment problems.
To reduce the time error I have set the move speed to a constant interval to minimize the rounding error drift between frames.
###Aligning tiles to pixels
The main reason for the jitter is that the tiles must be rendered on pixel boundaries. If not then aliasing errors will create visible seams between tiles.
To see the difference click the button top left to toggle pixel alignment on and off.
To get smooth scrolling (sub pixel positioning) draw the map to an offscreen canvas aligning to the pixels, then render that canvas to the display canvas adding the sub pixel offset. That will give the best possible result using the canvas. For better you will need to use webGL
###End of update
var refereshSkip = false; // when true drops frame rate by 4
var dontAlignToPixel = false;
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
function mouseEvent(e) {
if(e.type === "click") {
dontAlignToPixel = !dontAlignToPixel;
pixAlignInfo.textContent = dontAlignToPixel ? "Pixel Align is OFF" : "Pixel Align is ON";
} else {
refereshSkip = e.type === "mousedown";
}
}
pixAlignInfo.addEventListener("click",mouseEvent);
canvas.addEventListener("mousedown",mouseEvent);
canvas.addEventListener("mouseup",mouseEvent);

I'm trying to create a hyperdrive effect, like from Star Wars, where the stars have a motion trail. I've gotten as far as creating the motion trail on a single circle, it still looks like the trail is going down in the y direction and not forwards or positive in the z direction.
Also, how could I do this with (many) randomly placed circles as if they were stars?
My code is on jsfiddle (https://jsfiddle.net/5m7x5zxu/) and below:
var canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var xPos = 180;
var yPos = 100;
var motionTrailLength = 16;
var positions = [];
function storeLastPosition(xPos, yPos) {
// push an item
positions.push({
x: xPos,
y: yPos
});
//get rid of first item
if (positions.length > motionTrailLength) {
positions.pop();
}
}
function update() {
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
for (var i = positions.length-1; i > 0; i--) {
var ratio = (i - 1) / positions.length;
drawCircle(positions[i].x, positions[i].y, ratio);
}
drawCircle(xPos, yPos, "source");
var k=2;
storeLastPosition(xPos, yPos);
// update position
if (yPos > 125) {
positions.pop();
}
else{
yPos += k*1.1;
}
requestAnimationFrame(update);
}
update();
function drawCircle(x, y, r) {
if (r == "source") {
r = 1;
} else {
r*=1.1;
}
context.beginPath();
context.arc(x, y, 3, 0, 2 * Math.PI, true);
context.fillStyle = "rgba(255, 255, 255, " + parseFloat(1-r) + ")";
context.fill();
}
Canvas feedback and particles.
This type of FX can be done many ways.
You could just use a particle systems and draw stars (as lines) moving away from a central point, as the speed increase you increase the line length. When at low speed the line becomes a circle if you set ctx.lineWidth > 1 and ctx.lineCap = "round"
To add to the FX you can use render feedback as I think you have done by rendering the canvas over its self. If you render it slightly larger you get a zoom FX. If you use ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "lighter" you can increase the stars intensity as you speed up to make up for the overall loss of brightness as stars move faster.
Example
I got carried away so you will have to sift through the code to find what you need.
The particle system uses the Point object and a special array called bubbleArray to stop GC hits from janking the animation.
You can use just an ordinary array if you want. The particles are independent of the bubble array. When they have moved outside the screen they are move to a pool and used again when a new particle is needed. The update function moves them and the draw Function draws them I guess LOL
The function loop is the main loop and adds and draws particles (I have set the particle count to 400 but should handle many more)
The hyper drive is operated via the mouse button. Press for on, let go for off. (It will distort the text if it's being displayed)
The canvas feedback is set via that hyperSpeed variable, the math is a little complex. The sCurce function just limits the value to 0,1 in this case to stop alpha from going over or under 1,0. The hyperZero is just the sCurve return for 1 which is the hyper drives slowest speed.
I have pushed the feedback very close to the limit. In the first few lines of the loop function you can set the top speed if(mouse.button){ if(hyperSpeed < 1.75){ Over this value 1.75 and you will start to get bad FX, at about 2 the whole screen will just go white (I think that was where)
Just play with it and if you have questions ask in the comments.
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
// very simple mouse
const mouse = {x : 0, y : 0, button : false}

mouse.x = e.pageX;

My understanding is the image file has to be set to display: none; and then the image needs to be re-drawn using the javascript commands but I'm not sure if this image is compatible or not. When finished I want the image on a white background.
By way of an example the end design needs to resemble this - Logo particle design
Particle positions from bitmap.
To get the FX you want you need to create a particle system. This is just an array of objects, each with a position, the position where they want to be (Home), a vector defining their current movement, and the colour.
You get each particle's home position and colour by reading pixels from the image. You can access pixel data by rendering an image on a canvas and the using ctx.getImageData to get the pixel data (Note image must be on same domain or have CORS headers to access pixel data). As you read each pixel in turn, if not transparent, create a particle for that pixel and set it colour and home position from the pixels colour and position.
Use requestAnimationFrame to call a render function that every frame iterates all the particles moving them by some set of rules that give you the motion you are after. Once you have move each particle, render them to the canvas using simple shapes eg fillRect
Mouse interaction
To have interaction with the mouse you will need to use mouse move events to keep track of the mouse position relative to the canvas you are rendering to. As you update each particle you also check how far it is from the mouse. You can then push or pull the particle from or to the mouse (depending on the effect you want.
Rendering speed will limit the particle count.
The only issue with these types of FX is that you will be pushing the rendering speed limits as the particle count goes up. What may work well on one machine, will run very slow on another.
To avoid being too slow, and not looking good on some machines you should consider keeping an eye on the frame rate and reducing the particle count if it runs slow. To compensate you can increase the particle size or even reduce the canvas resolution.
The bottleneck is the actual rendering of each particle. When you get to large numbers the path methods really grinds down. If you want really high numbers you will have to render pixels directly to the bitmap, using the same method as reading but in reverse of course.
Example simple particles read from bitmap.
The example below uses text rendered to a canvas to create the particles, and to use an image you would just draw the image rather than the text. The example is a bit overkill as I ripped it from an old answer of mine. It is just as an example of the various ways to get stuff done.

Use png saved as PNG-8 and and allow cross-origin
I saw the cool article from Bricks and mortar and thought I'd try it out.
I battled with it for an eternity, thinking that my js was wrong... Turns out that the image has to be saved as a PNG-8 without dither instead of a PNG-24.
Then make sure that you add the crossOrigin="Anonymous" attribute to the image tag:
<img crossOrigin="Anonymous" id="img" src="[link to wherever you host the image]" alt="logo">
I also hid the reference canvas by adding the following styles:
canvas#canvas-reference {
display: none;
}
I also added a debounce and resize function, so it's responsive.
The result:
See Demo with inverted logo
I'm starting with a canvas element. I'm making the left half red, and the right side blue. Every half second, setInterval calls a function, scramble, which splits both RHS and LHS into pieces, and shuffles them.
Here is a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/aeq1g3yb/
The code is below. The reason I'm using window.onload is because this thing is supposed to scramble pictures and I want the pictures to load first. I'm using colors here because of the cross-origin business that I don't know enough about, so this is my accommodation.
var n = 1;
var v = 1;
function scramble() {
//get the canvas and change its width
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
c.width = 600;
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
//drawing 2 different colors side by side
ctx.fillStyle = "red";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, c.width/2, c.height);
ctx.fillStyle = "blue";
ctx.fillRect(c.width/2, 0, c.width/2, c.height);
//how big will each shuffled chunk be
var stepsA = (c.width/2) / n;
var stepsB = (c.width/2) / n;
var step = stepsA + stepsB;
var imgDataA = [];
var imgDataB = [];
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
var imgDataElementA = ctx.getImageData(stepsA*i, 0, stepsA, c.height);
var imgDataElementB = ctx.getImageData(c.width/2+stepsB*i, 0, stepsB, c.height);
imgDataA.push(imgDataElementA);
imgDataB.push(imgDataElementB);
}
//clearing out the canvas before laying on the new stuff
ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, c.width, c.height);
//put the images back
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
ctx.putImageData(imgDataA[i], step*i, 0);
ctx.putImageData(imgDataB[i], step*i+stepsA, 0);
}
//gonna count the steps
var count = document.getElementById("count");
count.innerHTML = n;
n += v;
if (n >= 100 || n <= 1) {
v *= -1;
}
}; //closing function scramble
window.onload = function() { //gotta do this bc code executes before image loads
scramble();
};
window.setInterval(scramble, 500);
More or less, this thing works the way I want it to. But there is one problem: Sometimes there are vertical white lines.
My question is:
Why are there white lines? If you view the fiddle, you will see the degree to which this impairs the effect of the shuffle.
You can`t divide a Pixel
The problem can be solve but will introduce some other artifacts as you can not divide integer pixels into fractions.
Quick solution
The following solution for your existing code rounds down for the start of a section and up for the width.
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
var imgDataElementA = ctx.getImageData(
Math.floor(stepsA * i), 0,
Math.ceil(stepsA + stepsA * i) - Math.floor(stepsA * i), c.height
);
var imgDataElementB = ctx.getImageData(
Math.floor(c.width / 2 + stepsB * i), 0,
Math.ceil(c.width / 2 + stepsB * i + stepsB) - Math.floor(c.width / 2 + stepsB * i), c.height);
imgDataA.push(imgDataElementA);
imgDataB.push(imgDataElementB);
}
Quicker options
But doing this via the pixel image data is about the slowest possible way you could find to do it. You can just use the 2D context.imageDraw function to do the movement for you. Or if you want the best in terms of performance a WebGL solution would be the best with the fragment shader doing the scrambling for you as a parallel solution.
There is no perfect solution
But in the end you can not cut a pixel in half, there are a wide range of ways to attempt to solve this but each method has its own artifacts. Ideally you should only slice an image if the rule image.width % slices === 0 in all other cases you will have one or more slices that will not fit on an integer number of pixels.
Example of 4 rounding methods.
The demo shows 4 different methods and with 2 colors. Mouse over to see a closer view. Each method is separated horizontally with a white line. Hold the mouse button to increase the slice counter.
The top is your original.
The next three are 3 different ways of dealing with the fractional pixel width.
const mouse = {x : 0, y : 0, button : false}
function mouseEvents(e){
const m = mouse;
if(m.element){
m.bounds = m.element.getBoundingClientRect();
m.x = e.pageX - m.bounds.left - scrollX;
m.y = e.pageY - m.bounds.top - scrollY;
m.button = e.type === "mousedown" ? true : e.type === "mouseup" ? false : m.button;
}
}
["down","up","move"].forEach(name => document.addEventListener("mouse"+name,mouseEvents));
const counterElement = document.getElementById("count");
// get constants for the demo
const c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
mouse.element = c;
// The image with the blue and red
const img = document.createElement("canvas");
// the zoom image overlay
const zoom = document.createElement("canvas");
// the scrambled image
const scram = document.createElement("canvas");
// Set sizes and get context
const w = scram.width = zoom.width = img.width = c.width = 500;
