I am trying to draw a black square its just not loading the browser is just an empty page...
Please help me i dont know whats wrong..
<html>
<head>
<title>setup</title>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="canvas" width="800" height="800"></canvas>
<script>
var canvas
var canvasContext
window.onload = function() {
canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas")
canvasContext = canvas.getContext("2d")
canvasContext.fillStyle = "black";
canvasContext.fillRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height)
canvasContext.fillStyle = "red";
canvasContext.fillRect(125, 250, 75, 75)
}
</script>
</body>

Your canvas 'is' there - it's just a white (empty) blob however.
None of your interactions with it work as you've tried to find it using the ID "myCanvas" rather than just "canvas" which is the ID you used in your HTML.
If you change this line:
canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas")
to
canvas = document.getElementById("canvas")
It should work for you
This is the answer for the question:
canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");

Canvas width and height in HTML5

Closed 2 years ago.
I would like to dynamically create a canvas, specifying the dimensions of the canvas at runtime; then I'd like to render an image over that canvas so that it fills the entire dimension of the canvas.
This works as expected, when I declare a canvas's width & height on an <canvas> element, as shown in this snippet (hidden by default):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h3>
Source Image
</h3>
<img id="image" src="http://placehold.it/180x180">
<h3>Canvas:</h3>
<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="200" style="border:1px solid #d3d3d3;">
</canvas>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var c = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var img = document.getElementById("image");
ctx.drawImage(img, 10, 10);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
However, if I dynamically create the <canvas> element using Javascript, and use CSS to set the size after creating, the image will not fill the whole canvas:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h3>
Source Image
</h3>
<img id="image" src="http://placehold.it/180x180">
<h3>Canvas:</h3>
<canvas id="canvas" style="border:1px solid #d3d3d3;">
</canvas>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var c = document.getElementById("canvas");
c.style.width = "200px";
c.style.height = "200px";
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var img = document.getElementById("image");
ctx.drawImage(img, 10, 10);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
I feel like I'm missing something pretty obvious here -- any help would be appreciated on how to get the dynamically rendered Canvas to look like the first snippet.
By using c.style.width, you're defining a scale for displaying it on your screen (it's just CSS).
To actually set the intrinsic size of the canvas, you do this:
window.onload = function() {
var c = document.getElementById("canvas");
c.width = 200;
c.height = 200;
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var img = document.getElementById("image");
ctx.drawImage(img, 10, 10);
}
<h3>Source Image</h3>
<img id="image" src="http://placehold.it/180x180">
<h3>Canvas:</h3>
<canvas id="canvas" style="border:1px solid #d3d3d3;"></canvas>
Note: This does not prevent you from having a different intrinsic size and display size. In fact, it's often useful if your page is displayed on a Retina screen with a high pixel density. In that case, you can have a 200x200 canvas, and set its CSS dimensions to be 100x100. That way every pixel in the canvas will be exactly 1 pixel of the screen it's displayed on.
More info on window.devicePixelRatio if you're interested.
The publish output of Animate CC gives html file and js file. I want to draw the same drawing two times in the same canvas. From this example, i want to have output as
How can i change the javascript to achieve this without having two canvas tag? I want to have numerous instance of it in single canvas tag.
If you are trying to achieve the image above, you can simply create two instances of simple_canv class.
Try this:
var canvas, stage, exportRoot;
function init() {
canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
exportRootLeft = new lib.simple_canv();
exportRootRight = new lib.simple_canv();
exportRootRight.x = 555;
stage = new createjs.Stage(canvas);
stage.addChild(exportRootLeft, exportRootRight);
stage.update();
stage.enableMouseOver();
createjs.Ticker.setFPS(lib.properties.fps);
createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", stage);
init_app()
}
Also, remember to increase the width of your canvas.
Is this what you are looking for?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100" style="border:1px solid #c3c3c3;">
Your browser does not support the canvas element.
</canvas>
<script>
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx1 = canvas.getContext("2d");
var ctx2 = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx1.fillStyle = "red";
ctx1.fillRect(0,0,50,50);
ctx2.fillStyle = "blue";
ctx2.fillRect(50,0,50,50);
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can then change what you render.
I was trying to construct an RPG out of html5 and Javascript with the <canvas> element; but I ran across a real stumper of an error: my code does not modify the <canvas> element at all.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>BoxRPG</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Box RPG</h3>
<canvas id="rpgCanvas" width = "200" height = "100" style = "border:1px solid #FF0000;">failMessage</canvas>
<script type = "text/javascript">
var c = document.getElementById("rpgCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.fillStyle = "#000000";
</script>
</body>
</html>
I cannot for the life of me figure out this! Am I just being stupid and missing the obvious or is there some deeper problem with either code or my system.
fill style is not a fill command , you have to specify area to fill :
var c = document.getElementById("rpgCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.fillStyle = "#FF0000";
ctx.fillRect(0,0,150,75);

I have just started learning how to draw on using HTML5 canvas, I'm trying to make a simple square but all I get is a blank screen, I don't get errors in the chrome console either
<!Doctype html>

window.onload = draw;
function draw()
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas1");

ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(0,200,0,1)";
ctx.fillRect = (36,10,50,50);
}

<body>
<canvas id="canvas1" width="400" height="300">

This seems quite simple but it just won't work for me!
One error is the one Elon pointed out, but you are using the fillRect wrong as well:
ctx.fillRect = (36,10,50,50);
should be:
ctx.fillRect(36,10,50,50);
Please debug before asking for help!
You've got syntax error because you forgot about { after function name.
function draw() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas1");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(0,200,0,1)";
ctx.fillRect(36,10,50,50);
}
I'm trying to place an image on a canvas without resizing it. I thought drawImage(img, x, y) would do the trick, but it stretches the image to fill the canvas.
Also supplying drawImage(img, x, y, width, height) with the dimensions of my image doesn't seem to work.
Here's my code:
<canvas id="story" style="position:relative; width:800px; height:600px;"></canvas>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("story");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var img = document.getElementById("img1");
var width = parseInt(img.width);
var height = parseInt(img.height);
context.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height);
}
</script>
<img id="img1" alt="" src="http://link to image"/>
Thanks in advance!
PS: I added the parseInt's to make sure that drawImage gets valid values.
Don't use CSS to size your canvas. That creates a default sized canvas and stretches it. Set the canvas dimensions directly on it and you'll get a 1 to 1 pixel drawing space.
<canvas id="story" width="800" height="600" style="position:relative;"></canvas>
Trochoid is right, the style attribute on your canvas tag is causing problems. You could set it in the HTML, as he suggests, or better yet you can leave it blank and set it dynamically in the JS:
<canvas id="story"></canvas>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("story");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var img = document.getElementById("img1");
var width = parseInt(img.width);
var height = parseInt(img.height);
canvas.height=height;
canvas.width=width;
context.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
}
</script>
<img id="img1" alt="" src="http://link to image"/>
Also make sure you get the width and height of the image and draw it AFTER it has been loaded.
img.onload = function () {
var width = parseInt(img.width);
var height = parseInt(img.height);
context.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height);
};
You have to first load the function image perfectly before rendering on the screen to do that follow the below code..
<img id="demo-img" src="image_name.png">
<br>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="500" height="500" style="border:1px solid #d3d3d3">Your browser does not support the HTML5 canvas tag
</canvas>
<script>
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var img = document.getElementById("demo-img");
img.onload=function fun(){ctx.drawImage(img,0,0,img.width,img.height,0,0,img.width,img.height)}
</script>
Try using this library I recently created which can load an image, resize it fixed width & height or precentage, convert to and from other formats like base64 or blob, and allows you to apply a watermark.
var CanvaWork = new CanvaWork();
CanvaWork.loadImage("yourimage.png", function(obj){
console.log(obj.canvas); // The usable canvas
console.log(obj.width);
console.log(obj.height);
console.log(obj.image); // Contains the image file
});
