Clear Canvas works only once - javascript

So in my code I'm drawing an arrow in a fullscreen canvas. After one second it will be deleted by my clear canvas function which works fine. Now a circle shall be drawn. Also works perfectly fine. After that I want to clear the canvas again but it doesn't work anymore. Does anyone have an idea why it only works once?
Many thanks, any answer will help!

The problem is you assumed setTimeout will wait for the function to execute, and it doesn't,
//draw an arrow after 1 second
drawArrow(angles[0],angles[1],angles[2],angles[3],differentcolours[7]);
//clear canvas after 1 second --> this works
setTimeout(function(){clearcanvas1("myCanvas")},1000);
//draw a circle after 4 seconds --> this works
setTimeout(function(){drawCircle(differentcolours[7])},4000);
//clear canvas after 1 second --> this doesn't work
setTimeout(function(){clearcanvas1("myCanvas")},1000);
You expected to draw the arrow, and then after 1 second to clear the canvas, and then after 4 seconds draw the circle, and then after 1 second clear the canvas, and what's happening is, it draws the arrow, and then it clear twice the canvas after 1 second, and 3 seconds after that it draws the circle.
I would change the last timeout to 5000, and you'll get the assumed functionality
//draw an arrow after 1 second
drawArrow(angles[0],angles[1],angles[2],angles[3],differentcolours[7]);
//clear canvas after 1 second --> this works
setTimeout(function(){clearcanvas1("myCanvas")},1000);
//draw a circle after 4 seconds --> this works
setTimeout(function(){drawCircle(differentcolours[7])},4000);
//clear canvas after 1 second --> this doesn't work
setTimeout(function(){clearcanvas1("myCanvas")},5000);

Remember that calls are asynchronous.
You only need this
//draw an arrow after 1 second
drawArrow(angles[0], angles[1], angles[2], angles[3], differentcolours[7]);
//clear canvas after 1 second --> this works
setTimeout(function () { clearcanvas1("myCanvas") }, 1000);
//draw a circle after 4 seconds --> this works
setTimeout(function () {
drawCircle(differentcolours[7])
setTimeout(function () { clearcanvas1("myCanvas") }, 1000);
}, 4000);

Why is the drawn line not clearing from canvas?

Link to JSFiddle for entire code: https://jsfiddle.net/u4mk0gdt/
I read the Mozilla docs on save() and restore() and I thought that "save" saved the current state of the entire canvas and "restore" restored the canvas to the most recent "save" state. Hence I placed the saves and restores in such a way that it should clear the white line that is drawn to canvas after is is drawn. However when I run this code the white line is never cleared from the canvas and is drawn continually without clearing.
ctx.restore();
ctx.save(); // <--should save blank canvas
//DRAW LINE
ctx.moveTo(tMatrix.x1, tMatrix.y1);
ctx.lineTo(w/2,h/2);
ctx.strokeStyle = "white";
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore(); // <-- should restore to the "save()" above
ctx.save(); // <-- <--should save blank canvas again
As you can see, I made a lot of modifications to your code:
console.log("rotating_recs");
// create canvas and add resize
var canvas, ctx;
function createCanvas() {
canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.style.position = "absolute";
canvas.style.left = "0px";
canvas.style.top = "0px";
canvas.style.zIndex = 1000;
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
}
function resizeCanvas() {
if (canvas === undefined) {
createCanvas();
}
canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
}
resizeCanvas();
window.addEventListener("resize", resizeCanvas);
var Player = function(x, y, height, width, rot) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
this.rot = rot;
this.objWinX = 0; //translate the window object and then apply to this
this.objWinY = 0;
this.draw = function() {
//rotate by user.rot degrees, from the players center
ctx.translate(this.x + this.width / 2, this.y + this.height / 2)
ctx.rotate(this.rot * Math.PI / 180)
ctx.translate(-this.x - this.width / 2, -this.y - this.height / 2)
ctx.fillStyle = "grey";
ctx.fillRect(this.x, this.y, this.height, this.width);
ctx.translate(this.x + this.width / 2, this.y + this.height / 2)
ctx.rotate(-this.rot * Math.PI / 180)
ctx.translate(-this.x - this.width / 2, -this.y - this.height / 2)
}
}
var user = new Player(0, 0, 40, 40, 0);
var user2 = new Player(0, 0, 40, 40, 0);
let rot = 0;
function update(time) {
var w, h;
w = canvas.width; // get canvas size incase there has been a resize
h = canvas.height;
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, w, h); // clear the canvas
//MIDDLE RECT
/*
if you don't want this you can just translate by w/2 and h/2, but I would recommend just making the p layers position the middle
*/
user.x = w / 2 - 20;
user.y = h / 2 - 20;
user.rot += 0.5 // or whatever speed
user.draw(); //draw player -- look at the draw function I added some stuff
//LINE
/*
I don't know what you are trying to do, but I just drew the line to the user2's position,
if this doesn't work for your scenario you can change it back
*/
ctx.beginPath()
ctx.moveTo(user2.x + user2.width/2, user2.y + user2.height/2);
ctx.lineTo(w / 2, h / 2);
ctx.strokeStyle = "white";
ctx.stroke();
//FAST SPIN RECT
/*
There are multiple ways to do this, the one that I think you should do, is actually change the position of user two, this uses some very simple trigonometry, if you know this, this is a great way to do this, if not, you can do it how you did previously, and just translate to the center, rotate, and translate back. Similar to what I did with the player draw function. I am going to demonstrate the trig way here:
*/
user2.rot += 5
rot += 2;
user2.x = w/2 + (w/2) * Math.cos(rot * (Math.PI/180))
user2.y = h/2 + (w/2) * Math.sin(rot * (Math.PI/180))
user2.draw();
//RED RECT
ctx.fillStyle = 'red';
ctx.fillRect(140, 60, 40, 40);
requestAnimationFrame(update); // do it all again
}
requestAnimationFrame(update);
While I think you should add some of these modifications into you code, they are not super necessary. To fix you line problem, all you had to do was add ctx.beginPath() before you drew it. The demonstration that I made was not very good (hence demonstration), and you probably shouldn't use it exactly, but definitely look over it. The modified code for you line drawing would look like:
//LINE
ctx.beginPath()
ctx.moveTo(tMatrix.x1, tMatrix.y1);
ctx.lineTo(w/2,h/2);
ctx.strokeStyle = "white";
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
ctx.save();
Hope this helps :D
Sorry for bad spelling

canvas rotate img horizontally

I am working on animation optimisation and i wanted to try out canvas to see how it performs but i am not experienced well in canvas and i dont know how to prepare concept of this kind of animation.
this is the gif that shows how animation should rotate like:
this is my current code of js:
var cvs = document.getElementById('coin-spin'),
ctx = cvs.getContext('2d'),
w = cvs.width = 400,
h = cvs.height = 400,
cx = w / 2,
cy = h / 2,
a = 0;
var img = new Image();
var loop = function() {
// BG
ctx.fillStyle = '#ccc';
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
// draw image
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(cx, cy);
ctx.rotate(Math.PI / 180 * a);
ctx.translate(-cx, -cy);
ctx.drawImage(img, cx - (img.width / 2), cy - (img.height / 2));
ctx.restore();
// axis
ctx.strokeStyle = '#000';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(cx, 0);
ctx.lineTo(cx, h);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(0, cy);
ctx.lineTo(w, cy);
ctx.stroke();
//mod angle
a++;
window.requestAnimationFrame(loop);
};
img.onload = function() {
loop();
};
img.src = 'https://image.ibb.co/gqkeXx/coin.png';
and the working demo on fiddle.
Could someone show how to add to the code so the image would rotate horizontally like on the gif?
EDIT ----
I added the spin, as it was also something to do, but still struggling on how to rotate it.
To get around the problem of rotating the object along two axes (faking one by mapping width to a sine wave), you can use an offscreen canvas to render the coin rotating around one axis, then render that canvas applying the second rotation ;
//make an offscreen canvas for rendering the coin rotating around one axis
var offscreenCanvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var cvs = document.getElementById('coin-spin'),
ctx = cvs.getContext('2d'),
w = cvs.width = 400,
h = cvs.height = 400,
cx = w / 2,
cy = h / 2,
a = 0;
var img = new Image();
var frameCount = 0;
var loop = function() {
frameCount++;
// BG
ctx.fillStyle = '#ccc';
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
offscreenContext.fillStyle = '#ccc';
offscreenContext.fillRect(0, 0, w, h);
//determine how wide to render the offscreen canvas so we can fake
//rotation around the second axis
var imgRenderWidth = offscreenCanvas.width * Math.sin(frameCount/10.0)
//render the coin rotating around one axis to the offscreen canvas
offscreenContext.save();
offscreenContext.translate(img.width/2, img.height/2);
offscreenContext.rotate(Math.PI / 180 * a);
offscreenContext.translate((0-img.width)/2, (0-img.height)/2);
offscreenContext.drawImage(img, 0,0);
offscreenContext.restore();
// draw offscreen canvas to the screen with our precalculated width
ctx.save();
ctx.drawImage(offscreenCanvas, cx - (imgRenderWidth / 2), cy - (offscreenCanvas.height / 2), imgRenderWidth, offscreenCanvas.height);
ctx.restore();
// axis
ctx.strokeStyle = '#000';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(cx, 0);
ctx.lineTo(cx, h);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(0, cy);
ctx.lineTo(w, cy);
ctx.stroke();
//mod angle
a++;
window.requestAnimationFrame(loop);
};
//once the image has loaded, we know what size our offscreen canvas needs to be
img.onload = function() {
offscreenCanvas.width = img.width;
offscreenCanvas.height = img.height;
loop();
};
img.src = 'https://image.ibb.co/gqkeXx/coin.png';
//prepare the offscreen context so we can render to it later
var offscreenContext = offscreenCanvas.getContext('2d');

Drawing Shadow of an object in Canvas

I want to draw one circle and a character with shadow on a canvas in a HTML page while loading the page and recreate the image on a button click. I am using this code:
window.onload = function() {
draw();
};
function draw(){
var c = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, c.width, c.height);
var width = c.width;
var height = c.height;
//DRAW A CIRCLE
var centerX = Math.floor((Math.random() * width));
var centerY = Math.floor((Math.random() * height));
var radius = Math.floor(Math.random() * 50);
var color = '#f11';
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(centerX, centerY, radius, 0, Math.PI * 2, false);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
//DRAW A CHARACTER WITH SHADOW
var c = "S";
ctx.font = "300% Verdana";
ctx.shadowBlur = 20;
ctx.shadowColor = "black";
ctx.shadowOffsetX = 20;
ctx.shadowOffsetY = 20;
ctx.fillStyle = "#111";
ctx.fillText(c, 10, 90);
}
In HTML I am calling draw function onclick() event of a button named Refresh.
For the first time it is giving desired output by drawing one circle and a character with shadow. As I click on the Refresh button it is drawing both the objects with shadow. I dont want to draw shadow of the circle. Can anyone please tell me the mistake I'm doing here.
You may want to use the CanvasRenderingContext2D.save() method :
window.onload = function() {
draw();
};
document.getElementById("canvas").addEventListener('click', draw);
function draw(){
var c = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, c.width, c.height);
var width = c.width;
var height = c.height;
//DRAW A CIRCLE
var centerX = Math.floor((Math.random() * width));
var centerY = Math.floor((Math.random() * height));
var radius = Math.floor(Math.random() * 50);
var color = '#f11';
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(centerX, centerY, radius, 0, Math.PI * 2, false);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
//DRAW A CHARACTER WITH SHADOW
//save the actual context
ctx.save();
var c = "S";
ctx.font = "300% Verdana";
ctx.shadowBlur = 20;
ctx.shadowColor = "black";
ctx.shadowOffsetX = 20;
ctx.shadowOffsetY = 20;
ctx.fillStyle = "#111";
ctx.fillText(c, 10, 90);
//restore it
ctx.restore();
}
canvas{border:1px solid;}
<canvas id="canvas" width="400" height="200"></canvas>

My Line Color is overlapping. What to do?

I'm following the JS tutorial in W3schools and make some improve for the code.
Now My code is as follows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="600" height="600"></canvas>
<script>
function getAngle(x, y, angle, h) {
var radians = angle * (Math.PI / 180);
return { x: x + h * Math.cos(radians), y: y + h * Math.sin(radians) };
}
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var lineWidth = 250;
var centerx = canvas.width/2;
var centery = canvas.height/2;
var axisx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var axisy = canvas.getContext('2d');
var L1 = canvas.getContext('2d');
var L2 = canvas.getContext('2d');
var L3 = canvas.getContext('2d');
axisy.beginPath();
axisy.moveTo(centerx, 10);
axisy.lineTo(centerx, 590);
axisy.strokeStyle = '#000000';
axisy.stroke();
axisx.beginPath();
axisx.moveTo(10, centery);
axisx.lineTo(590, centery);
axisx.strokeStyle = '#000000';
axisx.stroke();
L1pos = getAngle(centerx, centery, 25, lineWidth);
L1.moveTo(centerx, centery);
L1.lineTo(L1pos.x, L1pos.y);
L1.strokeStyle = '#ff0000';
L1.stroke();
L2pos = getAngle(centerx, centery, 125, lineWidth);
L2.moveTo(centerx, centery);
L2.lineTo(L2pos.x, L2pos.y);
L2.strokeStyle = '#00ff00';
L2.stroke();
L3pos = getAngle(centerx, centery, 225, lineWidth);
L3.moveTo(centerx, centery);
L3.lineTo(L3pos.x, L3pos.y);
L3.strokeStyle = '#0000ff';
L3.stroke();
</script>
</body>
The result show that all 3 diagonals line (L1, L2, L3) were blue coloured (#0000ff). How to put different color on each line?
Before beginning to draw, you have to call beginPath, to flush the previous line. (see beginPath on w3schools)
L1.beginPath()

Rotation logic in html5 canvas

I have this animation, but i cant get over the logic. I hope someone can help me here.
Basicly i need this: http://jsfiddle.net/PDE85/9/ but without the arrow doing such crazy moves. It should be attached to the front of the open circle to simulate an expanding arrow.
I got the triangle to turn right here but it doesnt work when i mix it with position logic as seen in the first example.
Here is the code for reference
(function() {
var size = ($(window).height()/5)*4;
$("#intro-container").css('width',size);
$("#intro-canvas").css('width',size);
$("#intro-canvas").css('height',size);
var interval = window.setInterval(draw, 30);
var degrees = 0.0;
var offset = 20;
var rotate = 0;
var canvas = document.getElementById('intro-canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.width = size;
canvas.height = size;
draw();
function draw() {
if (canvas.getContext) {
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.strokeStyle="white";
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, size, size);
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(size/2, size/2);
ctx.rotate(-90 * Math.PI / 180);
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.lineWidth = size/8;
ctx.arc(0, 0, size/3, 0, rotate * Math.PI / 180);
//ctx.shadowBlur=1;
//ctx.shadowColor="black";
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.save();
// moving logic
ctx.translate(size/2, size/2);
ctx.rotate(-Math.PI / 180 * -rotate+1);
ctx.translate(-size/3, -size/3);
// rotating logic
ctx.translate(size/2, size/2);
ctx.rotate((rotate * Math.PI + 420) / 180);
ctx.moveTo(0,0);
ctx.lineTo(size/6,0);
ctx.lineTo(0,size/6);
ctx.lineTo(0,0);
ctx.fill();
ctx.restore();
rotate += 1;
if(rotate > 360){
window.clearInterval(interval)
}
}
}
})();
I believe you are looking for this : http://jsfiddle.net/PDE85/12/
The rotation comes from, the rotate call which is unnecessary.
Plus you need an inverted triangle, hence the coordinates needed an update:
...
// ctx.rotate((rotate * Math.PI + 420) / 180);
ctx.moveTo(0,0);
ctx.lineTo(-size/6,0);
ctx.lineTo(0,-size/6);
...
