I am working on a PWA, which will be used to conduct surveys, so what I'm doing is,
I'm capturing a snapshot from a video(within the app) and saving it in a canvas, which works fine.
Now I need to add date, time and geo-coordinates on it.
My Javascript code
var video = document.querySelector('video');
var takenPhotosDiv = document.getElementById( "taken-photos" );
var button = document.querySelector('button');
button.onclick = function() {
drawCanvas();
};
var drawCanvas = function(){
var canvas = window.canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = video.videoWidth;
canvas.height = video.videoHeight;
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(video, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
canvas.getContext('2d').fillText( "30-08-2017" + " " + "15:25" + " " + "(79.85858454, 17.56852655)", 50, 150 );
takenPhotosDiv.appendChild( canvas );
}
The above code works fine and it does get close to what's being expected, here's the sample output of the above code
The final text-format should look like this (the text bar should be at the bottom of the image and not in the middle and with much bigger font)
PS: I don't just have to display this in the above mentioned format, even need to save and push it on Firebase later.
Edit:
var addTextToCanvas = function( canvas ){
canvas.lineWidth = 2;
canvas.fillStyle = "blue";
canvas.font = "bold 20px sans-serif";
canvas.textBaseline = "bottom";
canvas.fillText( "30-08-2017" + " " + "15:25" + " " + "(79.85858454, 17.56852655)", 0, 100 );
return canvas;
};
I tried this, but the font and font size remained the same.
This function is called from drawCanvas(), just before appending it to div, since it didn't work, I simply added called fillText on the canvas there itself
Edit 2:
Make sure that the methods and properties are set on the context not the canvas element itself.
We also need to calculate the actual vertical position of the text. Since it's aligned to the bottom we can use the height of the canvas minus some bottom padding:
var y = canvas.height - 10;
So, for example:
var addTextToCanvas = function( context ) { // pass in 2D context
var y = context.canvas.height - 10;
context.fillStyle = "blue";
context.font = "bold 20px sans-serif";
context.textBaseline = "bottom";
context.fillText( "30-08-2017"+" "+"15:25"+" "+"(79.85858454, 17.56852655)", 10, y );
return context;
};
or if you prefer to pass in the canvas:
var addTextToCanvas = function( canvas ) {
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var y = canvas.height - 10;
context.fillStyle = "blue";
context.font = "bold 20px sans-serif";
context.textBaseline = "bottom";
context.fillText( "30-08-2017"+" "+"15:25"+" "+"(79.85858454, 17.56852655)", 10, y );
return context;
};
The lineWidth doesn't do anything here so it can be removed.
I would recommend that you store the context once globally. It's the same context you get each time anyways but there is more overhead requesting it each time it will be used.
Functional example:
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var addTextToCanvas = function( context ) {
context.fillStyle = "blue";
context.font = "bold 20px sans-serif";
context.textBaseline = "bottom";
var y = context.canvas.height - 10;
context.fillText( "30-08-2017"+" "+"15:25"+" "+"(79.85858454, 17.56852655)", 10, y );
return context;
};
addTextToCanvas(ctx);
#c {border: 1px solid #999}
<canvas id=c width=600 height=180></canvas>
And finally, to extract as image the call needs to be made on the canvas element not context (can be confusing):
var dataUrl = canvas.toDataURL(); // saves out PNG image
or for JPEG:
var dataUrl = canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg", 0.75);
Try this
var canvas = window.canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var text = "30-08-2017\n15:25\n(79.85858454, 17.56852655)";
ctx.font = "30px Arial";
ctx.fillStyle = "red";
ctx.textAlign = "center";
ctx.fillText(text, canvas.width/2, canvas.height/2);

In my code:
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = 1600;
canvas.height = 900;
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
var similarX = 0;
var similarY = 0;
document.addEventListener('mousemove',function(event){
similarX = event.clientX;
similarY = event.clientY;
document.getElementById('body').innerHTML = "x:" + similarX + ", y:" + similarY +", imgData:" + pixelData;
var pixelData = rect.getImageData(60, 60, 1, 1).data;
})
window.addEventListener('load' , start);
var c = canvas.getContext('2d')
var rect = canvas.getContext ('2d')
var circle = canvas.getContext ('2d')
function start() {
c.clearRect(0, 0, 1600, 900);
c.fillStyle = 'green' ;
c.fillRect(similarX - 12, similarY - 50, 20, 20);
rect.fillStyle = 'black';
rect.fillRect(50,50,80,80);
window.requestAnimationFrame(start)
}
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
I want to detect what color are the pixels around the green player square so that if it touches the black box, it is detected by a getImageData() command? I tried reading the other posts, but I couldn't find a way to use them. Is there a solution that can easily be placed inside the code?
I want to fill a Canvas with an Image and scale it to a certain width beforehand.
I am trying to achieve an effect where an image in the foreground of the canvas can be erased with the mouse to view an image in the background. This is why I need to use a pattern to fill my canvas instead of just using drawImage(). Everything works apart from the scaling of the foreground image. Here is my code for generating the pattern:
var blueprint_background = new Image();
blueprint_background.src = "myfunurl";
blueprint_background.width = window.innerWidth;
blueprint_background.onload = function(){
var pattern = context.createPattern(this, "no-repeat");
context.fillStyle = pattern;
context.fillRect(0, 0, window.innerWidth, 768);
context.fill();
};
This does exactly what it should do, except that the image keeps its original size.
As you see, I want the image to scale to window.innerWidth (which has the value 1920 when logging it).
If needed, I can provide the rest of the code, but since the error is most likely in this snippet, I decided not to post the rest.
EDIT: Here is my full code with the suggested changes. The front ground image now displays over the full width, however the erasing does not work anymore.
JavaScript (Note that I use jQuery instead of $):
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var cwidth = window.innerWidth;
var cheight = 768;
function createCanvas(parent, width, height) {
var canvas = {};
canvas.node = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.context = canvas.node.getContext('2d');
canvas.node.width = width || 100;
canvas.node.height = height || 100;
parent.appendChild(canvas.node);
return canvas;
}
function init(canvas, fillColor) {
var ctx = canvas.context;
canvas.isDrawing = true;
jQuery('#canvas').children().css('position:absolute; top: ' + jQuery('#Top_bar').height() + 'px');
// define a custom fillCircle method
ctx.fillCircle = function(x, y, radius, fillColor) {
this.fillStyle = fillColor;
this.beginPath();
this.moveTo(x, y);
this.arc(x, y, radius, 0, Math.PI * 2, false);
this.fill();
};
// bind mouse events
canvas.onmousemove = function(e) {
if (!canvas.isDrawing) {
return;
}
var x = e.pageX - this.offsetLeft;
var y = e.pageY - jQuery('#Top_bar').outerHeight();
var radius = 30;
var fillColor = '#ff0000';
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = 'destination-out';
ctx.fillCircle(x, y, radius, fillColor);
};
}
var container = document.getElementById('canvas');
jQuery('#canvas').css('position:absolute; top: ' + jQuery('#Top_bar').height() + 'px');
var canvas = createCanvas(container, cwidth, cheight);
init(canvas, '#ddd');
var fgimg = document.getElementById("fgimg");
fgimg.width = cwidth;
var context = canvas.node.getContext("2d");
let canvasP = document.getElementById("pattern");
canvasP.width = window.innerWidth;
canvasP.height = 768;
let ctxP = canvasP.getContext("2d");
ctxP.drawImage( fgimg, 0, 0,window.innerWidth,768 );
context.fillStyle = context.createPattern(canvasP,"no-repeat");
context.fillRect(0,0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
});
CSS:
#canvas {
background:url(http://ulmke-web.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Header-6.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center center;
width: 100%;
height: 768px;
}
HTML:
<div id="canvas">
<canvas id="pattern">
</div>
<div style="display:none">
<img id="fgimg" src=" http://ulmke-web.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Header-5.jpg">
</div>
I would use two canvases. On the first one you draw your image and you use this canvas as an image to create the pattern. In order to scale the image you scale the size of the first canvas #pattern in my example.
For example you can do this for a 10/10 image:
canvasP.width = 10;
canvasP.height = 10;
ctxP.drawImage( redpoint, 2.5, 2.5 );
or you can do this for a 20/20 image:
canvasP.width = 20;
canvasP.height = 20;
ctxP.drawImage( redpoint, 5, 5,10,10 );
Furthermore, in my example I'm adding a little margin around the image.
let canvasP = document.getElementById("pattern");
if (canvasP && canvasP.getContext) {
let ctxP = canvasP.getContext("2d");
/*canvasP.width = 10;
canvasP.height = 10;
ctxP.drawImage( redpoint, 2.5, 2.5 ); */
canvasP.width = 20;
canvasP.height = 20;
ctxP.drawImage( redpoint, 5, 5,10,10 );
}
let canvas1 = document.getElementById("canvas");
if (canvas1 && canvas1.getContext) {
let ctx1 = canvas1.getContext("2d");
if (ctx1) {
ctx1.fillStyle = ctx1.createPattern(canvasP,"repeat");
ctx1.fillRect(0,0, canvas1.width, canvas1.height);
}
}
canvas{border:1px solid}
<img id="redpoint" src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAUA AAAFCAYAAACNbyblAAAAHElEQVQI12P4//8/w38GIAXDIBKE0DHxgljNBAAO 9TXL0Y4OHwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==">
<canvas id="pattern"></canvas>
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
I hope it helps.
StackOverflow community, I'm fairly new to JavaScript programming and I'm having some issues with the HTML5/JavaScript Canvas Combo.
The idea is to, following the click of a button, to verify some lines and, then, show on the screen the image (pre-defined) with some text in specific coordinates, the text depends on the input value, as they are stored in an Array.
The thing is, I'm not being able to draw the text on the Image, only the Image appears. The code goes as follows:
Globally Defined:
...
canvas = document.getElementById("cvs"),
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'),
...
The Draw() function:
function draw() {
if (img_is_loaded) {
img = document.getElementById("background-A");
var maxh = 600,
maxw = 900,
height = img.height,
width = img.width,
name_input = name[0],
note_input = note[0],
date_input = date[0],
sur_input = sur[0];
while (height > maxh || width > maxw) {
--height;
--width;
}
canvas.height = height;
canvas.width = width;
ctx.save();
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height);
ctx.font = "54px Times Roman";
ctx.fillStyle = "#000000";
ctx.fillText = (name_input, 35, 320);
ctx.font = "21px Times Roman";
ctx.fillStyle = "#000000";
ctx.fillText = (note_input, 61, 432);
ctx.fillText = (date_input, 254, 501);
ctx.fillText = (sur_input, 254, 528);
}
} else {
setTimeout(draw, 100);
}
}
I'm getting the Image, but no text. I'm aware that the issue, normally, is that I need to draw them "at the same time", so I tried:
function draw() {
if (img_is_loaded) {
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.onload = function(){
var maxh = 600,
maxw = 900,
height = imageObj.height,
width = imageObj.width,
name_input = name[0],
note_input = note[0],
date_input = date[0],
sur_input = sur[0];
while (height > maxh || width > maxw) {
--height;
--width;
}
canvas.height = height;
canvas.width = width;
ctx.save();
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
$('#spinner-generate').hide();
ctx.drawImage(imageObj, 0, 0, width, height);
ctx.font = "54px Times Roman";
ctx.fillStyle = "#000000";
ctx.fillText = (name_input, 35, 320);
ctx.font = "21px Times Roman";
ctx.fillStyle = "#000000";
ctx.fillText = (note_input, 61, 432);
ctx.fillText = (date_input, 254, 501);
ctx.fillText = (sur_input, 254, 528);
ctx.restore();
}
imageObj.src = "IMAGEPATH";
} else {
setTimeout(draw, 100);
}
}
But, in this case, the "imageObj.onload" function gets skipped by the code, that automatically jumps to "else".
I'm really confused at this point, since every source I consulted says that it is "simple" and uses the imageObj.onload example, but with the "window.onload" combination.
Is there something I'm missing regarding the Canvas' "Order of things"?
I appreciate and thank in advance for any response or input.
You're using fillText as a property while it should have been used as a method - simply change the lines to this format:
ctx.fillText(name_input, 35, 320);
I did not check the rest of the code.
If I try to draw text to my canvas at the onload event, the text shows up blurry. I draw to the same canvas later via a button click from another function and it's fine. But if I call this function from the button, it's still blurry. Can anybody see something wrong in this code?
window.onload = initCanvasRender;
function initCanvasRender() {
var c = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = c.getContext('2d');
ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
ctx.textAlign = 'center';
ctx.textBaseline = 'middle';
ctx.fillStyle = 'black';
ctx.font = '20px Times New Roman';
ctx.fillText('hello...', c.width/2, c.height/2);
}
There may be some problem with the
ctx.fillText('hello...', c.width/2, c.height/2);
Because if you for example set width of the canvas with css then c.width and c.height will be the default size for the canvas which is, 300x150 and not the size defined in css. Try to set two variables for the width and height that are global for your application. E.g
var canvasWidth = 400;
var canvasHeight = 200;
c.width = canvasWidth;
c.height = canvasHeight;
/* ... */
and then later in your code you can use canvasWidth and canvasWeight:
ctx.fillText('hello...', canvasWidth/2, canvasHeight/2);
Take a look at this test: http://jsfiddle.net/EsQfb/7/ it's important to use use the canvas.width and not canvas.style.width in your case.

I am using a jQuery carousel to display 38 different magnifications/positions of a large SVG image. I would ideally like to use some sort of loop to go through all the different sizes, draw to an individual canvas and place one in each of the li's in my carousel. Can anyone help me achieve this. Here's what I tried:
function drawSlides() {
for (var i = 1; i <= 38; i++) {
var currentCanvas = 'myCanvas_' + slideNumber;
// initialise canvas element
var canvas_i = document.getElementById('' + currentCanvas + '');
var context = canvas_i.getContext('2d');
// position of SVG – these measurements are subject to change!
var destX_i = -6940;
var destY_i = -29240;
var destWidth_i = 9373;
var destHeight_i = 30000;
context.drawImage('/path/image.svg',
destX_i, destY_i, destWidth_i, destHeight_i);
// white rectangle background – these are constant
var topLeftCornerX_i = 453;
var topLeftCornerY_i = -10;
var width_i = 370;
var height_i = 480;
context.beginPath();
context.rect(topLeftCornerX_i, topLeftCornerY_i, width_i, height_i);
context.fillStyle = "rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)";
context.fill();
// orange vertical line – these elements are constant
context.moveTo(453, 0);
context.lineTo(453, 460);
context.lineWidth = 2;
context.strokeStyle = "#f5d7cb";
context.stroke();
//orange ball – these are constant
var centerX_ball_i = 453;
var centerY_ball_i = 323;
var radius = 99;
context.beginPath();
context.arc(centerX_ball_i, centerY_ball_i, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
var grd_ball_i = context.createLinearGradient(224, 354, 422, 552);
grd_ball_i.addColorStop(0, "#f5d7cb"); // light orange
grd_ball_i.addColorStop(1, "#ff4900"); // dark orange
context.fillStyle = grd_ball_i;
context.fill();
}
};
drawSlides();
This should get you moving:
var numCarouselItems = 38;
var myUL = document.getElementById('carousel');
var items = myUL.childNodes;
var img = new Image;
img.onload = function(){
for (var i=0;i<numCarouselItems;++i){
// Find the nth li, or create it
var li = items[i] || myUL.appendChild(document.createElement('li'));
// Find the nth canvas, or create it
var canvas = li.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0] ||
li.appendChild(document.createElement('canvas'));
canvas.width = 1; // Erase the canvas, in case it existed
canvas.width = 320; // Set the width and height as desired
canvas.height = 240;
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// Use your actual calculations for the SVG size/position here
ctx.drawImage( img, 0, 0 );
}
}
// Be sure to set your image source after your load handler is in place
img.src = "foo.svg";
