Creating click events for looped rectangles in canvas [duplicate]

I dont know how to register click event on each rectangle.
here is the sample:
http://jsfiddle.net/9WWqG/1/

You're basically going to have to track where your rectangles are on the canvas, then set up an event listener on the canvas itself. From there you can take the coordinates of the click event and go through all your rectangles to test for 'collisions'.
Here's an example of doing just that: http://jsfiddle.net/9WWqG/2/
html:
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="300" height="150"></canvas>
javascript:
// get canvas element.
var elem = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
function collides(rects, x, y) {
var isCollision = false;
for (var i = 0, len = rects.length; i < len; i++) {
var left = rects[i].x, right = rects[i].x+rects[i].w;
var top = rects[i].y, bottom = rects[i].y+rects[i].h;
if (right >= x
&& left <= x
&& bottom >= y
&& top <= y) {
isCollision = rects[i];
}
}
return isCollision;
}
// check if context exist
if (elem && elem.getContext) {
// list of rectangles to render
var rects = [{x: 0, y: 0, w: 50, h: 50},
{x: 75, y: 0, w: 50, h: 50}];
// get context
var context = elem.getContext('2d');
if (context) {
for (var i = 0, len = rects.length; i < len; i++) {
context.fillRect(rects[i].x, rects[i].y, rects[i].w, rects[i].h);
}
}
// listener, using W3C style for example
elem.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
console.log('click: ' + e.offsetX + '/' + e.offsetY);
var rect = collides(rects, e.offsetX, e.offsetY);
if (rect) {
console.log('collision: ' + rect.x + '/' + rect.y);
} else {
console.log('no collision');
}
}, false);
}

This is an old question but what was once hard to do when it was posted is now much easier.
There are many libraries that keep track of the position of your objects that were drawn on canvas and handle all of the complexities of handling mouse interactions. See EaselJS,
KineticJS,
Paper.js or
Fabric.js and this comparison of canvas libraries for more.
You can also take a different approach and use
Raphaël and gRaphaël
to have a solution that uses SVG and VML instead of canvas and works even on IE6.
Your example changed to use Raphaël would look like this:
var r = Raphael(0, 0, 300, 150);
r.rect(0, 0, 50, 50)
.attr({fill: "#000"})
.click(function () {
alert('first rectangle clicked');
});
r.rect(75, 0, 50, 50)
.attr({fill: "#000"})
.click(function () {
alert('second rectangle clicked');
});
See DEMO.
Update 2015
You may also be able to use ART, a retained mode vector drawing API for HTML5 canvas - see this answer for more info.

I found a way to make this work in mozilla using the clientX,clientY instead of offsetX/offsetY.
Also, if your canvas extends beyond the innerHeight, and uses the scroll, add the window.pageYOffset to the e.clientY. Goes the same way, if your canvas extends beyond the width.
Another example is at my github: https://github.com/michaelBenin/fi-test
Here is another link that explains this: http://eli.thegreenplace.net/2010/02/13/finding-out-the-mouse-click-position-on-a-canvas-with-javascript/

Javascript - interactive particle logo not working

I'm working through instructions to construct an interactive particle logo design and can't seem to get to the finished product. This is the logo image file -
I'm using a canvas structure / background. Here's the code -

var canvasReference = document.getElementById('canvas-reference');
var contextInteractive = canvasInteractive.getContext('2d');
var contextReference = canvasReference.getContext('2d');

};
var center = {

this.rx = 0;
this.ry = 0;
this.vx = 0;
this.vy = 0;
this.force = 0;
this.angle = 0;
this.distance = 0;
}
Particle.prototype.update = function() {
this.rx = mouse.x - this.x;
this.ry = mouse.y - this.y;
this.distance = this.rx * this.rx + this.ry * this.ry;
this.force = -mouse.radius / this.distance;
if (this.distance < mouse.radius) {
this.angle = Math.atan2(this.ry, this.rx);
this.vx += this.force * Math.cos(this.angle);

</html>
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:

Why circles are vibrating on collision (Canvas)

Separating circles
Your separation code was not correct. Use the vector between them to get the new pos.
The vector between them
To find if two circles are intercepting find the length of the vector from one to the next
The two circles.
var cir1 = {x : 100, y : 100, r : 120}; // r is the radius
var cir2 = {x : 250, y : 280, r : 150}; // r is the radius
The vector from cir2 to cir1
var vx = cir2.x - cir1.x;
var vy = cir2.y - cir1.y;
The length of the vector
var len = Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y);
// or use the ES6 Math.hypot function
/* var len = Math.hypot(x,y); */
The circles overlap if the sum of the radii is greater than the length of the vector between them
if(cir1.r + cir2.r > len){ // circles overlap
Normalise the vector
If they overlap you need to move one away from the other. There are many ways to do this, the simplest way is to move one circle along the line between them.
First normalise the vector from cir1 to cir2 by dividing by its (vector) length.
vx \= len;
vy \= len;
Note that the length could be zero. If this happens then you will get NaN in further calculations. If you suspect you may get one circle at the same location as another the easiest way to deal with the zero move one circle a little.
// replace the two lines above with
if(len === 0){ // circles are on top of each other
vx = 1; // move the circle (abstracted into the vector)
}else{
vx \= len; // normalise the vector
vy \= len;
}
Move circle/s to just touch
Now you have the normalised vector which is 1 unit long you can make it any length you need by multiplying the two scalars vx, vy with the desired length which in this case is the sum of the two circles radii.
var mx = vx * (cir1.r + cir2.r); // move distance
var my = vy * (cir1.r + cir2.r);
.Only use one of the following methods.
You can now position one of the circles the correct distance so that they just touch
// move cir1
cir1.x = cir2.x - mx;
cir1.y = cir2.y - my;
Or move the second circle
cir2.x = cir1.x + mx;
cir2.y = cir1.y + my;
Or move both circles but you will have to first find the proportional center between the two
var pLen = cir1.r / (cir1.r + cir2.r); // find the ratio of the radii
var cx = cir1.x + pLen * vx * len; // find the proportional center between
var cy = cir1.y + pLen * vy * len; // the two circles
Then move both circles away from that point by their radii
cir1.x = cx - vx * cir1.r; // move circle 1 away from the shared center
cir1.y = cy - vy * cir1.r;
cir2.x = cx + vx * cir2.r; // move circle 2 away from the shared center
cir2.y = cy + vy * cir2.r;

Drag Bound with Konva.Layer

I am using KonvaJs in my project. I need to implement drag bound to Konva.Layer. My layer has so many other shapes and images. I need to restrict the movement of layer up to 50% of it's width and height. The way I have done in this plunkr. The problem arises when user zoom-in or zoom-out the layer using mouse wheel. After the zoom, I don't know why the drag bound is behaving differently. Seems like I am not able to do the Math correctly. I need to have the same behavior i.e. the way movement of layer is restricted when user does not perform zoom. This is what I am doing:
//... a helper object for zooming
var zoomHelper = {
stage: null,
scale: 1,
zoomFactor: 1.1,
origin: {
x: 0,
y: 0
},
zoom: function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var delta;
if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('firefox') > -1) {
if (event.originalEvent.detail > 0) {
//scroll down
delta = 0.2;
} else {
//scroll up
delta = 0;
}
} else {
if (event.originalEvent.wheelDelta < 0) {
//scroll down
delta = 0.2;
} else {
//scroll up
delta = 0;
}
}
var evt = event.originalEvent,
mx = evt.clientX - zoomHelper.stage.getX(),
my = evt.clientY - zoomHelper.stage.getY(),
zoom = (zoomHelper.zoomFactor - delta),
newscale = zoomHelper.scale * zoom;
zoomHelper.origin.x = mx / zoomHelper.scale + zoomHelper.origin
.x - mx / newscale;
zoomHelper.origin.y = my / zoomHelper.scale + zoomHelper.origin
.y - my / newscale;
zoomHelper.stage.setOffset({
x: zoomHelper.origin.x,
y: zoomHelper.origin.y
});
zoomHelper.stage.setScale({
x: newscale,
y: newscale
});
zoomHelper.stage.draw();
zoomHelper.scale *= zoom;
preCalculation();
}
};
// Code goes here
var w = window.innerWidth;
var h = window.innerHeight;
var height, minX, minY, maxX, maxY;
var stage = new Konva.Stage({
container: 'container',
width: w,
height: h
});
zoomHelper.stage =stage;
var layer = new Konva.Layer({
draggable: true,
dragBoundFunc: function(pos) {
console.log('called');
var X = pos.x;
var Y = pos.y;
if (X < minX) {
X = minX;
}
if (X > maxX) {
X = maxX;
}
if (Y < minY) {
Y = minY;
}
if (Y > maxY) {
Y = maxY;
}
return ({
x: X,
y: Y
});
}
});
stage.add(layer);
function preCalculation(){
// pre-calc some bounds so dragBoundFunc has less calc's to do
height = layer.getHeight();
minX = stage.getX() - layer.getWidth() / 2;
maxX = stage.getX() + stage.getWidth() - layer.getWidth() / 2;
minY = stage.getY() - layer.getHeight() / 2;
maxY = stage.getY() + stage.getHeight() - layer.getHeight() / 2;
console.log(height, minX, minY, maxX, maxY);
}
preCalculation();
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function() {
var floorImage = new Konva.Image({
image: img,
width: w,
height: h
});
layer.add(floorImage);
layer.draw();
};
img.src = 'https://s.yimg.com/pw/images/coverphoto02_h.jpg.v3';
$(stage.container).on('mousewheel DOMMouseScroll', zoomHelper.zoom);

While using dragBoundFunc you have to return absolute position of layer. As you are changing attributes of top node (stage) it can be hard to maintain absolute position. So you can try to set bound function inside 'dragmove' event:
layer.on('dragmove', function() {
var x = Math.max(minX, Math.min(maxX, layer.x()));
var y = Math.max(minY, Math.min(maxY, layer.y()));
layer.x(x);
layer.y(y);
});

How to constrain movement within the area of a circle

This might be more a geometry related question, but I'm trying to constrain a controller within an area of a circle. I know I have to touch the Math.sin() and Math.cos() methods, but my attemps so far have been fruitless so far.
Here is the jsfiddle:
So far I've been able to constrain it to an invisible square. http://jsfiddle.net/maGVK/

So I finally was able to complete this with a bit of everyone's help.
var pointerEl = document.getElementById("pointer");
var canvasEl = document.getElementById("canvas");
var canvas = {
width: canvasEl.offsetWidth,
height: canvasEl.offsetHeight,
top: canvasEl.offsetTop,
left: canvasEl.offsetLeft
};
canvas.center = [canvas.left + canvas.width / 2, canvas.top + canvas.height / 2];
canvas.radius = canvas.width / 2;
window.onmousemove = function(e) {
var result = limit(e.x, e.y);
pointer.style.left = result.x + "px";
pointer.style.top = result.y + "px";
}
function limit(x, y) {
var dist = distance([x, y], canvas.center);
if (dist <= canvas.radius) {
return {x: x, y: y};
}
else {
x = x - canvas.center[0];
y = y - canvas.center[1];
var radians = Math.atan2(y, x)
return {
x: Math.cos(radians) * canvas.radius + canvas.center[0],
y: Math.sin(radians) * canvas.radius + canvas.center[1]
}
}
}
function distance(dot1, dot2) {
var x1 = dot1[0],
y1 = dot1[1],
x2 = dot2[0],
y2 = dot2[1];
return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(x1 - x2, 2) + Math.pow(y1 - y2, 2));
}
You can see the result here:
http://jsfiddle.net/7Asn6/

var pointerEl = document.getElementById("pointer");
var canvasEl = document.getElementById("canvas");
var canvas = {
width: canvasEl.offsetWidth,
height: canvasEl.offsetHeight,
top: canvasEl.offsetTop,
left: canvasEl.offsetLeft
};
canvas.center = [canvas.left + canvas.width / 2, canvas.top + canvas.height / 2];
canvas.radius = canvas.width / 2;
window.onmousemove = function(e) {
var result = limit(e.x, e.y);
if (!result.limit) {
pointer.style.left = result.x + "px";
pointer.style.top = result.y + "px";
}
}
function limit(x, y) {
var dist = distance([x, y], canvas.center);
if (dist <= canvas.radius) {
return {x: x, y: y};
} else {
return {limit: true};
}
}
function distance(dot1, dot2) {
var x1 = dot1[0],
y1 = dot1[1],
x2 = dot2[0],
y2 = dot2[1];
return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(x1 - x2, 2) + Math.pow(y1 - y2, 2));
}
this could do the work, though the movement is not smooth....that will need more geometry knowledge...
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/cRxMa/

This arithmetic is trivial as long as you normalize each data point (prospective position), which i have tried to do in the function below:
function locatePoint(canvas_size, next_position) {
// canvas_size & next_position are both 2-element arrays
// (w, h) & (x, y)
dist = function(x, y) {
return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(x, 2) + Math.pow(y, 2));
};
x = next_position[0];
y = next_position[1];
rescaledX = x/(canvas_size[0]/2);
rescaledY = y/(canvas_size[1]/2);
if (distance(x, y) <= 1) {
// the base case; position is w/in the circle
}
else {
// position is outside the circle, so perhaps
// do something like random select a new position, then
// call this function again (recursively) passing in
// that new position
}
}
so in the simple diagram below, i have just inscribed a unit circle (r=1) inside a square whose sides are r*2. Your canvas dimensions do not have to be square though. To further simplify the calculation, you only need to consider one of the four quadrants--the upper right quadrant, let's say. The reason is that the Euclidean distance formula squares each coordinate value, so negative values become positive.
Put another way, the simplest way is to imagine a circle inscribed in your canvas and whose center is also the center of your canvas (so (0, 0) is the center not the upper left-hand corner); next, both canvas and circle are shrunk until the circle has radius = 1. Hopefully i have captured this in the function above.

Hi and thanks for sharing your solution.
Your jsfiddle helps me a lot to constraint the movement of a rotation handle.
Here's my solution using jQuery :

normY: 0
};
return ball;
}
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var xLabel = document.getElementById("x");
var yLabel = document.getElementById("y");
var dxLabel = document.getElementById("dx");
var dyLabel = document.getElementById("dy");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var containerR = 200;
canvas.width = containerR * 2;
canvas.height = containerR * 2;
canvas.style["border-radius"] = containerR + "px";
var balls = [
getBall(containerR, containerR * 2 - 30, 2, -2, 20, "#0095DD"),

getBall(containerR, containerR * 2 / 5, -1.5, 3, 40, "#DD0095")
];
function draw() {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
for (var i = 0; i < balls.length; i++) {
var curBall = balls[i];
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(curBall.x, curBall.y, curBall.r, 0, Math.PI * 2);
ctx.fillStyle = curBall.color;
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
curBall.lastX = curBall.x;
curBall.lastY = curBall.y;
curBall.x += curBall.dx;
curBall.y += curBall.dy;
var dx = curBall.x - containerR;
var dy = curBall.y - containerR;
var distanceFromCenter = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy);
if (distanceFromCenter >= containerR - curBall.r) {
var normalMagnitude = distanceFromCenter;
var normalX = dx / normalMagnitude;
var normalY = dy / normalMagnitude;
var tangentX = -normalY;
var tangentY = normalX;
var normalSpeed = -(normalX * curBall.dx + normalY * curBall.dy);
var tangentSpeed = tangentX * curBall.dx + tangentY * curBall.dy;
curBall.dx = normalSpeed * normalX + tangentSpeed * tangentX;
curBall.dy = normalSpeed * normalY + tangentSpeed * tangentY;
}
xLabel.innerText = "x: " + curBall.x;

}
requestAnimationFrame(draw);

draw();
canvas { background: #eee; }
