Canvas JS How to get height and width of polygon shape? - javascript

I created a small canvas js script and draw outline on shape here is the script
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(coordinates[0].x, coordinates[0].y);
for (let index = 1; index < coordinates.length; index++) {
context.lineTo(coordinates[index].x, coordinates[index].y);
}
context.lineWidth = 2;
context.strokeStyle = "red";
context.fillStyle = "rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3)";
context.fill()
context.closePath();
context.stroke();
But i am unable to get its width and height of shape, actually i want to display and line as tooltip for user reference.
Here i attach image you can see black line on top of Dice (i did for your reference in photoshop). i want to show that line.
i am noob, if any one can help me with example code that would be great.
Example image

You can get the min/max X and Y like this:
var minx = coordinates[0].x, maxx = coordinates[0].x, miny = = coordinates[0].y, maxy = = coordinates[0].y;
for (let index = 1; index < coordinates.length; index++) {
if (coordinates[index].x < minx) minx = coordinates[index.x]);
if (coordinates[index].x > maxx) maxx = coordinates[index.x]);
if (coordinates[index].y < miny) miny = coordinates[index.y]);
if (coordinates[index].y > maxy) maxy = coordinates[index.y]);
}
You can calculate height and width using the min and max values.

If your polygon looks like following, this could be the fastest solution.
var polygon = [1678, 385, 1726, 388, 1725, 427, 1679, 427];
var minX = Math.min(...polygon.filter((_, i) => i % 2 === 0));
var maxX = Math.max(...polygon.filter((_, i) => i % 2 === 0));
var minY = Math.min(...polygon.filter((_, i) => i % 2 === 1));
var maxY = Math.max(...polygon.filter((_, i) => i % 2 === 1));
var width = maxX - minX;
var height = maxY - minY;

Fill in shape with lines at a specified angle

I need to create line segments within a shape and not just a visual pattern - I need to know start and end coordinates for those lines that are within a given boundary (shape). I'll go through what I have and explain the issues I'm facing
I have a closed irregular shape (can have dozens of sides) defined by [x, y] coordinates
shape = [
[150,10], // x, y
[10,300],
[150,200],
[300,300]
];
I calculate and draw the bounding box of this shape
I then draw my shape on the canvas
Next, I cast rays within the bounding box with a set spacing between each ray. The ray goes from left to right incrementing by 1 pixel.
Whenever a cast ray gets to a pixel with RGB values of 100, 255, 100 I then know it has entered the shape. I know when it exits the shape if the pixel value is not 100, 255, 100. Thus I know start and end coordinates for each line within my shape and if one ray enters and exits the shape multiple times - this will generate all line segments within that one ray cast.
For the most part it works but there are issues:
It's very slow. Perhaps there is a better way than casting rays? Or perhaps there is a way to optimize the ray logic? Perhaps something more intelligent than just checking for RGB color values?
How do I cast rays at a different angle within the bounding box? Now it's going left to right, but how would I fill my bounding box with rays cast at any specified angle? i.e.:
I don't care about holes or curves. The shapes will all be made of straight line segments and won't have any holes inside them.
Edit: made changes to the pixel RGB sampling that improve performance.

This is a pretty complex problem that I am trying to simplify as much as possible. Using the line intersection formula we can determin where the ray intersects with the shape at every edge. What we can do is loop through each side of the shape while check every rays intersection. If they intersect we push those coordinates to an array.
I have tried to make this as dynamic as possible. You can pass the shape and change the number of rays and the angle. As for the angle it doesn't take a specific degree (i.e. 45) but rather you change the start and stop y axis. I'm sure if you must have the ability to put in a degree we can do that.
It currently console logs the array of intersecting coordinates but you can output them however you see fit.
The mouse function is just to verify that the number match up. Also be aware I am using toFixed() to get rid of lots of decimals but it does convert to a string. If you need an integer you'll have to convert back.

I'm not an expert, but maybe you could do something like this:
Generate the points that constitute the borders.
Organize them in a convenient structure, e.g. an object with the y as key, and an array of x as values.
2.1. i.e. each item in the object would constitute all points of all borders in a single y.
Iterate over the object and generate the segments for each y.
3.1. e.g. if the array of y=12 contains [ 10, 20, 60, 80 ] then you would generate two segments: [ 10, 12 ] --> [ 20, 12 ] and [ 60, 12 ] --> [ 80, 12 ].
To generate the borders' points (and to answer your second question), you can use the line function y = a*x + b.
For example, to draw a line between [ 10, 30 ] and [ 60, 40 ], you would:
Solve a and b by substituting x and y for both points and combining these two formulas (with standard algebra):
For point #1: 30 = a*10 + b
For point #2: 40 = a*60 + b
b = 30 - a*10
40 = a*60 + (30 - a*10)
a*60 - a*10 = 40 - 30
50*a = 10
a = 0.2
30 = a*10 + b
30 = 0.2*10 + b
b = 30 - 2
b = 28
With a and b at hand, you get the function for your specific line:
y = 0.2*x + 28
With that, you can calculate the point of the line for any y. So, for example, the x of the point right under the first point ([ 10, 30 ]) would have a y of 31, and so: 31 = 0.2*x + 28, and so: x = 15. So you get: [ 15, 31 ].
You may need a bit of special handling for:
Vertical lines, because the slope is "infinite" and calculating it would cause division by zero.
Rounding issues. For some (probably most) pixels you will get real x values (i.e. non-integer). You can Math.round() them, but it can cause issues, like:
8.1. Diagonal rays may not actually hit a border point even when they go through a border. This will probably require additional handling (like checking points around and not just exactly the pixels the ray lies on).
8.2. The points your algorithm generate may (slightly) differ from the points that appear on the screen when you use libraries or built-in browser functionality to draw the shape (depending on the implementation of their drawing algorithms).
This is a mashup of Justin's answer and code from my proposed question.
One issue was generating rays at a set angle and a set distance from each other. To have rays be equal distances apart at any angle we can use a vector at a 90 degree angle and then place a new center point for the next line.
We can start at the exact midpoint of our boundary and then spread out on either side.
Red line is the center line, green dots are the vector offset points for the next line.
Next I modified Justin's intersect algorithm to iterate by ray and not side, that way I get interlaced coordinates where array[index] is the start point of a segment and array[index+1] is the end point.
And by connecting the lines we get a shape that is filled with lines inside its boundaries at set distances apart
Issues:
I had to inflate the boundary by 1 pixel otherwise certain shapes would fail to generate paths
I'd like rays to be some what aligned. It's hard to explain, but here's an example of 6 triangles rotated at 60 degree increments that form a hexagon with their inner lines also offset by 60 degree increments. The top and bottom triangle inner lines do not join those of the outside triangles. This is an issue with the cast rays. Ideally I'd like them to join and be aligned with the outer most edge if that makes sense. Surely there is a better way to cast rays than this...

Canvas map coordinates

I want to draw exp(x) for x in [-5, 5] on a 800x800px canvas. I managed to map [-5, 5] to [0, 800] on the horizontal axis, but I'm struggling to map [exp(-5), exp(5)] to [800, 0] on the vertical axis.
Any idea on how to do that? Thanks in advance.
Here is a detailed example of a way to do it. i and j are canvas coordinates white x and y are the function coordinates.
Basically, mapping from y to j is similar to the inverse of mapping from x to i. But you have to subtract the result from the height since the y coordinate is reversed when drawing on a canvas.
var c = document.querySelector('canvas');
var ctx = c.getContext('2d');
ctx.beginPath();
const width = 400;
const height = 150;
// The bounds
const minx = -5;
const maxx = 5;
const miny = Math.exp(-5);
const maxy = Math.exp(5);
ctx.moveTo(0, height);
for (let i = 0; i < width; i += width / 100) {
// Get x from canvas coordinates
const x = i / width * (maxx - minx) + minx;
const y = Math.exp(x);
// Transform y to canvas coordinates
const j = height - (y - miny) / (maxy - miny) * height;
// Draw in canvas coordinates
ctx.lineTo(i, j);
}
ctx.stroke();
canvas {
border: 1px solid black;
}
<canvas width=400 height=150></canvas>

Using a line to divide a canvas into two new canvases

I'm looking to allow users to slice an existing canvas into two canvases in whatever direction they would like.
I know how to allow the user to draw a line and I also know how to copy the image data of one canvas onto two new ones, but how can I copy only the relevant color data on either side of the user-drawn line to its respective canvas?
For example, in the following demo I'd like the canvas to be "cut" where the white line is:
const canvas = document.querySelector("canvas"),
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
const red = "rgb(104, 0, 0)",
lb = "rgb(126, 139, 185)",
db = "rgb(20, 64, 87)";
var width,
height,
centerX,
centerY,
smallerDimen;
var canvasData,
inCoords;
function sizeCanvas() {
width = canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
height = canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
centerX = width / 2;
centerY = height / 2;
smallerDimen = Math.min(width, height);
}
function drawNormalState() {
// Color the bg
ctx.fillStyle = db;
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
// Color the circle
ctx.arc(centerX, centerY, smallerDimen / 4, 0, Math.PI * 2, true);
ctx.fillStyle = red;
ctx.fill();
ctx.lineWidth = 3;
ctx.strokeStyle = lb;
ctx.stroke();
// Color the triangle
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(centerX + smallerDimen / 17, centerY - smallerDimen / 10);
ctx.lineTo(centerX + smallerDimen / 17, centerY + smallerDimen / 10);
ctx.lineTo(centerX - smallerDimen / 9, centerY);
ctx.fillStyle = lb;
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
screenshot();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.strokeStyle = "rgb(255, 255, 255)";
ctx.moveTo(width - 20, 0);
ctx.lineTo(20, height);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
}
function screenshot() {
canvasData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, width, height).data;
}
function init() {
sizeCanvas();
drawNormalState();
}
init();
body {
margin: 0;
}
<canvas></canvas>
TL;DR the demo.
The best way I've found to do this is to 1) calculate "end points" for the line at the edge of (or outside) the canvas' bounds, 2) create two* polygons using the end points of the line generated in step 1 and the canvas' four corners, and 3) divide up the original canvas' image data into two new canvases based on the polygons we create.
* We actually create one, but the "second" is the remaining part of the original canvas.
1) Calculate the end points
You can use a very cheap algorithm to calculate some end points given a start coordinate, x and y difference (i.e. slope), and the bounds for the canvas. I used the following:
function getEndPoints(startX, startY, xDiff, yDiff, maxX, maxY) {
let currX = startX,
currY = startY;
while(currX > 0 && currY > 0 && currX < maxX && currY < maxY) {
currX += xDiff;
currY += yDiff;
}
let points = {
firstPoint: [currX, currY]
};
currX = startX;
currY = startY;
while(currX > 0 && currY > 0 && currX < maxX && currY < maxY) {
currX -= xDiff;
currY -= yDiff;
}
points.secondPoint = [currX, currY];
return points;
}
where
let xDiff = firstPoint.x - secondPoint.x,
yDiff = firstPoint.y - secondPoint.y;
2) Create two polygons
To create the polygons, I make use of Paul Bourke's Javascript line intersection:
function intersect(point1, point2, point3, point4) {
let x1 = point1[0],
y1 = point1[1],
x2 = point2[0],
y2 = point2[1],
x3 = point3[0],
y3 = point3[1],
x4 = point4[0],
y4 = point4[1];
// Check if none of the lines are of length 0
if((x1 === x2 && y1 === y2) || (x3 === x4 && y3 === y4)) {
return false;
}
let denominator = ((y4 - y3) * (x2 - x1) - (x4 - x3) * (y2 - y1));
// Lines are parallel
if(denominator === 0) {
return false;;
}
let ua = ((x4 - x3) * (y1 - y3) - (y4 - y3) * (x1 - x3)) / denominator;
let ub = ((x2 - x1) * (y1 - y3) - (y2 - y1) * (x1 - x3)) / denominator;
// is the intersection along the segments
if(ua < 0 || ua > 1 || ub < 0 || ub > 1) {
return false;
}
// Return a object with the x and y coordinates of the intersection
let x = x1 + ua * (x2 - x1);
let y = y1 + ua * (y2 - y1);
return [x, y];
}
Along with some of my own logic:
let origin = [0, 0],
xBound = [width, 0],
xyBound = [width, height],
yBound = [0, height];
let polygon = [origin];
// Work clockwise from 0,0, adding points to our polygon as appropriate
// Check intersect with top bound
let topIntersect = intersect(origin, xBound, points.firstPoint, points.secondPoint);
if(topIntersect) {
polygon.push(topIntersect);
}
if(!topIntersect) {
polygon.push(xBound);
}
// Check intersect with right
let rightIntersect = intersect(xBound, xyBound, points.firstPoint, points.secondPoint);
if(rightIntersect) {
polygon.push(rightIntersect);
}
if((!topIntersect && !rightIntersect)
|| (topIntersect && rightIntersect)) {
polygon.push(xyBound);
}
// Check intersect with bottom
let bottomIntersect = intersect(xyBound, yBound, points.firstPoint, points.secondPoint);
if(bottomIntersect) {
polygon.push(bottomIntersect);
}
if((topIntersect && bottomIntersect)
|| (topIntersect && rightIntersect)) {
polygon.push(yBound);
}
// Check intersect with left
let leftIntersect = intersect(yBound, origin, points.firstPoint, points.secondPoint);
if(leftIntersect) {
polygon.push(leftIntersect);
}
3) Divide up the original canvas' image data
Now that we have our polygon, all that's left is putting this data into new canvases. The easiest way to do this is to use canvas' ctx.drawImage and ctx.globalCompositeOperation.
// Use or create 2 new canvases with the split original canvas
let newCanvas1 = document.querySelector("#newCanvas1");
if(newCanvas1 == null) {
newCanvas1 = document.createElement("canvas");
newCanvas1.id = "newCanvas1";
newCanvas1.width = width;
newCanvas1.height = height;
document.body.appendChild(newCanvas1);
}
let newCtx1 = newCanvas1.getContext("2d");
newCtx1.globalCompositeOperation = 'source-over';
newCtx1.drawImage(canvas, 0, 0);
newCtx1.globalCompositeOperation = 'destination-in';
newCtx1.beginPath();
newCtx1.moveTo(polygon[0][0], polygon[0][1]);
for(let item = 1; item < polygon.length; item++) {
newCtx1.lineTo(polygon[item][0], polygon[item][1]);
}
newCtx1.closePath();
newCtx1.fill();
let newCanvas2 = document.querySelector("#newCanvas2");
if(newCanvas2 == null) {
newCanvas2 = document.createElement("canvas");
newCanvas2.id = "newCanvas2";
newCanvas2.width = width;
newCanvas2.height = height;
document.body.appendChild(newCanvas2);
}
let newCtx2 = newCanvas2.getContext("2d");
newCtx2.globalCompositeOperation = 'source-over';
newCtx2.drawImage(canvas, 0, 0);
newCtx2.globalCompositeOperation = 'destination-out';
newCtx2.beginPath();
newCtx2.moveTo(polygon[0][0], polygon[0][1]);
for(let item = 1; item < polygon.length; item++) {
newCtx2.lineTo(polygon[item][0], polygon[item][1]);
}
newCtx2.closePath();
newCtx2.fill();
All of that put together gives us this demo!

How to get center point of svg polygon?

I have an SVG image and I need to get the center point of all polygons for painting text. I am trying to do this with the below script:
function calculateCenterPoint(areas) {
var maxX = 0,
minX = Infinity,
maxY = 0,
minY = Infinity;
Array.prototype.forEach.call(areas, function (e) {
var i = 0,
coords = e.getAttribute('points').split(',');
while (i < coords.length) {
var x = parseInt(coords[i++], 10),
y = parseInt(coords[i++], 10);
if (x < minX)
minX = x;
if (x > maxX)
maxX = x;
if (y < minY)
minY = y;
if (y > maxY)
maxY = y;
}
});
return {
x: minX + (maxX - minX) / 2,
y: minY + (maxY - minY) / 2
}; }
but it is not working in IE 11, or edge.

https://gyazo.com/ba906bde72e5394c8a0275281108663b
instead of looking at the points, get the bounding rect of the svg
const el = document.querySelector("path");
const bbox = el.getBoundingClientRect();
const center = {
x: bbox.left + bbox.width / 2,
y: bbox.top + bbox.height / 2
};
or you could do
const bbox = el.getBBox();

scrambling images on canvas producing whitespace

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;
}
}
