How i can draw new lines with convas js

i want to draw lines with convas but my previous lines was deleted when i try create a new line. I wark with convas the first time and i will be happy if you can say me about my mistakes and solutions of the problem
const convas = document.querySelector(".v");
const ctx = convas.getContext("2d");
let startPositionLine = { x: 0, y: 0 };
let endPositionLine = { x: 0, y: 0 };
let { xStart, yStart } = startPositionLine;
let { xEnd, yEnd } = endPositionLine;
function moveMouseEvent(e) {
xEnd = e.offsetX;
yEnd = e.offsetY;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, convas.width, convas.height);
ctx.moveTo(xStart, yStart);
ctx.lineTo(xEnd, yEnd);
ctx.stroke();
}
convas.onmousedown = (e) => {
ctx.beginPath();
xStart = e.offsetX;
yStart = e.offsetY;
ctx.stroke();
convas.onmousemove = (e) => moveMouseEvent(e);
};
convas.onmouseup = () => {
convas.onmousemove = null;
};

I mentioned this in my comment to your post above, but thought I would just give an example you can run and test here. So you are correct in what you are doing, but you just need to save each drawn line to an array AS YOU DRAW THEM. You will see the code for this in the mousedown event handler here. Then you need to redraw those saved lines each time after you clear the canvas in mousemove event handler.
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var canvasrect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
var Xstart = 0;
var Ystart = 0;
var Xend = 0
var Yend = 0
var isDrawing = false;
var linesArray = [{}];
// MOUSE CLICK / BUTTON DOWN LISTENER
canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', e => {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
canvasrect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
Xstart = e.clientX - canvasrect.left;
Ystart = e.clientY - canvasrect.top;
// We need to know if the user is actuallydrawing or not.
// Each time the user clicks their canvas we toggle whether to start or stop drawing.
if (isDrawing) {
// If this is the end of a line, save the end coordinates to the latest array element.
linesArray[linesArray.length - 1].xe = Xend;
linesArray[linesArray.length - 1].ye = Yend;
isDrawing = false;
} else {
// If this is the start of a new line, save the start coordinates in a new array element along with end coordinate placeholders.
linesArray.push({
xs: Xstart,
ys: Ystart,
xe: 0,
ye: 0
})
isDrawing = true;
}
});
// MOUSE MOVE
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', e => {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
// get the current mouse x & y locations along with any scrolling and window resizing offsets.
Xend = e.clientX - canvasrect.left;
Yend = e.clientY - canvasrect.top;
if (isDrawing === true) {
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
//clear the canvas
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvasrect.width, canvasrect.height);
// Draw a line from the initial click coordinates to the current mouse pointer coordinates.
ctx.strokeStyle = '#fe0101';
ctx.lineWidth = 3;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(Xstart, Ystart);
ctx.lineTo(Xend, Yend);
ctx.stroke();
// now redraw the previous lines saved in the linesArray
if (linesArray.length >= 1) {
for (let i = 0; i < linesArray.length; i++) {
if (linesArray[i].xe != 0) {
ctx.strokeStyle = '#fe0101';
ctx.lineWidth = 3;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(linesArray[i].xs, linesArray[i].ys);
ctx.lineTo(linesArray[i].xe, linesArray[i].ye);
ctx.stroke();
}
}
}
}
});

How to calculate the position of a click on a draggable canvas element?

I need help with a pretty difficult problem. I am currently making a game with React and Redux. In this game I use a canvas to create a map data from my redux store. Currently the map is just a matrix of black and white squares. Let's say that I wanted to change the color of a square when you click on it, but also maintain the ability to drag the element. The problem is that it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where the mouse is clicking given that the element can be dragged anywhere on the page. As far as I can tell, none of the mouseclick event object properties seem to be able to tell me. I thought offsetX and offsetY would tell me, but they don't seem to stay the same when the canvas object moves for some reason.
I am using React and Redux for this project, and the CanvasMap element is wrapped in a Draggable from this library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-draggable#draggablecore
import React from 'react'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import './CanvasMap.css'
class CanvasMap extends React.Component{
componentDidMount() {
const map = this.props.map //Data representing the map
const canvas = this.refs.canvas
const context = canvas.getContext('2d')
//Building the map on the canvas
for(let i = 0; i < map.length; i++){
for(let j = 0; j < map[i].length; j++){
const x=i*100
const y=j*100
const isBlackSquare= map[i][j] === 'black' ? true : false
if(isBlackSquare) context.fillRect(x, y, 100, 100)
else context.strokeRect(x, y, 100, 100)
}
}
function handleClick(e){
//None of the event properties seem to stay the same when the canvas is moved
console.log(e)
}
canvas.addEventListener('click', handleClick)
}
render(){
return (
<div className='Map'>
<canvas ref='canvas' width={8000} height={8000} />
</div>
)
}
}
function mapStateToProps(state){
return {
map: [...state.map]
}
}
const connectedComponent = connect(mapStateToProps)(CanvasMap)
export { connectedComponent as CanvasMap }

In most cases when you click on an HTML element you can use the rectangleBounding Box and get coordinators from that like
domRect = element.getBoundingClientRect();
in a canvas click position it is a little more difficult
Here is a script I did a while ago to draw while dragging the mouse the on the canvas .Maybe you can apply this method
<html>
<head>
<style>
* { margin:0; padding:0; } /* to remove the top and left whitespace */
html, body { width:100%; height:100%; } /* just to be sure these are full screen*/
canvas { display:block; } /* To remove the scrollbars */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="canvas" ></canvas>

SOLVED IT!
I got lost in the slew of data around elements and click events, I was trying to figure out the right combination of pageX, clientX, offsetLeft, screenX, etc. However, the final solution is incredibly simple once you know exactly what to do. Here it is:
function handleClick(e){
const rect = e.target.getBoundingClientRect()
const x = e.pageX - rect.left
const y = e.pageY - rect.top
}
This should get you the exact x and y coordinate of your mouse in relation to the element, no matter where you drag and reposition the element.

HTML5 Canvas - retain drawn rectangles on images

I have an image gallery. When a image from gallery is clicked, it is rendered on a canvas. The objective is to allow users to draw rectangles on regions of interest and capture the rectangle coordinates. The drawn rectangles vanishes when I move to the next image.
The following is the code and I have tried to comment as much as I can:
//get clicked image name and store in a variable
function clickedImage(clicked_id) {
var clickedImg = document.getElementById(clicked_id).src;
var clickedImg = clickedImg.replace(/^.*[\\\/]/, '');
localStorage.setItem("clickedImg", clickedImg);
//initiate canvas to load image
var canvas = document.getElementById("iriscanvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var thumbNails = document.getElementById("loaded_img_panel");
var pic = new Image();
pic.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(pic, 0,0)
}
//load the image from the thumbnail on to the canvas
thumbNails.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
pic.src = event.target.src;
});
//thickness of rectangle and count of rectangles
var strokeWidth = 3;
drawCount = 1;
//initiate mouse events
canvas.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e) {
drawRectangleOnCanvas.handleMouseMove(e);
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener("mousedown", function(e) {
drawRectangleOnCanvas.handleMouseDown(e);
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener("mouseup", function(e) {
drawRectangleOnCanvas.handleMouseUp(e);
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener("mouseout", function(e) {
drawRectangleOnCanvas.handleMouseOut(e);
}, false);

When I move to the next image the rectangles created on the previous image is removed. I don't know if I have to use canvas.toDataURL to retain the rectangles, because I have thousands of images in the gallery and not sure if I will have space in the browser, though not all the images are going to the used for drawing rectangles.
Moreover, after drawing the rectangles when I click on the same image, it clears all the rectangles.
How can I retain the drawn rectangles within a session at least?

Layer 2 canvases over each other. Render the image into the bottom canvas, and draw on the top one. That way, changing the image won't affect the drawn lines.
A <canvas> works just like a real-life painter's canvas. There is no concept of layers or "objects" on a canvas. It's all just paint on a single surface.
When you draw a different image on a canvas, you're overriding everything that was on the canvas already.

Zoom/scale from different point of image in canvas

I have made a canvas in html5. I'm using it to show parts of a bigger image that you can move and I want to make it possible to zoom both in and out. But I do not know how to make the image scale from a certain point. When I increase the size of the image the part which is shown by the canvas is moved, I want the part in the center of the canvas to be the focus point when the scaling is complete, but no matter how I try it gets distorted some how. It seems like depending on which part of the image is shown, when the scaling happens that part of the picture is going to get moved to different coordinates. I do not know what type of algorithm I would have to use so calculate the movement of the image.
This is a link to a visual example of the movement i mean, https://imgur.com/a/aZiVM, the two images are scaled the same but depending on which part of the image that is visible in the canvas, the amount the image needs to be moved tor the zoom differs.
This is my code, but it isn't really working that well.

Given the origin (pos) and scale to zoom at a point
var pos = {x : 0, y : 0};
var scale = 1;
function zoomAt(x,y,_scale)
scale *= _scale
pos.x = x - (x - pos.x) * scale;
pos.y = y - (y - pos.y) * scale;
}
You can then create the transform with
ctx.setTransform(scale, 0, 0, scale, pos.x, pos.y);
So to zoom at the center of screen
zoomAt(canvas.width / 2, canvas.height / 2, 1.1); // zoom in
zoomAt(canvas.width / 2, canvas.height / 2, 1 / 1.1); // zoom out
Put all together
// the following globals are available
// w, h, cw, ch, width height centerWidth centerHeight of canvas
// canvas, ctx, mouse, globalTime

Fade canvas video from greyscale to color

I have 2 elements - video and canvas. On video play event, a functions draws the same video on canvas only greyscale. Then I have a button which is supposed to fade canvas video from greyscale back to color. So far I've managed to get back colors on button click, but I need it to fade - from greyscale to color, not just instantly show color.
Any ideas on how could I accomplish that? Or.. is it even possible?
Here's the code:
function grey() {
if (!stop) {
bgContext.drawImage(video, 0, 0, w, h);
var pixelData = bgContext.getImageData(0, 0, w, h);
for (var i = 0; i < pixelData.data.length; i += 4 ) {
var r = pixelData.data[i];
var g = pixelData.data[i+1];
var b = pixelData.data[i+2];
var averageColour = (r + g + b) / 3;
pixelData.data[i] = averageColour;
pixelData.data[i+1] = averageColour;
pixelData.data[i+2] = averageColour;
}
context.putImageData(pixelData, 0, 0);
}
}
function color() {
bgContext.drawImage(video, 0, 0, w, h);
var pixelData = bgContext.getImageData(0, 0, w, h);
for (var i = 0; i < pixelData.data.length; i += 4 ) {
var r = pixelData.data[i];
var g = pixelData.data[i+1];
var b = pixelData.data[i+2];
pixelData.data[i] = r;
pixelData.data[i+1] = g;
pixelData.data[i+2] = b;
}
context.putImageData(pixelData, 0, 0);
}
video.addEventListener('play', function() {
setInterval("grey()", 0);
}, false);
button.addEventListener('click', function() {
stop = true;
setInterval("color()", 0);
}, false);

Canvas Filters for real-time Video/Animation.
Black & White filter
To do a black and white filter is easy.
// mixAmount is a value from 0 - 1 0 = no mix 1 = full FX
// video is the video
ctx.drawImage(video,0,0); // draw the video
// set up filter
ctx.fillStyle = "#888"; // gray colour
ctx.globalAlpha = mixAmount; // amount of FX
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "color"; // The comp setting to do BLACK/WHITE
ctx.fillRect(0,0,video.width,video.height); // Draw gray over the video
ctx.globalAlpha = 1; // reset alpha
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over"; // reset comp
Or you can render the video over itself to get other FX, the demo shows the Black and White filter and several more by just using the above code and a few extra layers.
More info
For more on displaying a video see Display video inside canvas
Demo
The demo show how to do Black and white and some other FX while I am at it.
How to use.
See video title for attribution. FX on left from top to bottom "Lighten", "Black & white", "Sepia", "Saturate", and "Negative".
The Demo has the following FX Lighter, Darken, Black/White, Negative, Saturate, Sepia, B&W negative, and more.
The Javascript
The code relating to the question is all at the top and marked. The rest is UI loading etc..
Each FX is a function that will call either addMix or addOverlay to apply the filter as shown in the snippet above. The addMix function is slightly different as it draws the video over the video to get the FX rather than a fill.
Instructions are on the demo.
Please note not all browser support all comp modes (WHY?? who knows!! :( ) Nor is there a way to be 100% sure if a browser supports a mode or not. The safe bet is Firefox, Chrome, and Edge for all other browsers best of luck..

<h2>Simple video FX via canvas "globalCompositeOperation"</h2>
<p>This example show how to use the 2d context "globalCompositeOperation" property to create a variety of FX. Video may take a few moment to load.

<p>Play pause video with click. Move to bottom of video to see FX mix slider (Not available if filter None). Move to right to get filter selection and select the filter example. Happy filtering</p>

Update 30 Sep 2019
Add filter "Movement" that highlight the change per frame (movement). Slider changes the persistence of the highlighted changes.

The simplest is to set a greyscale css filter on the canvas.
var video = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var button = document.getElementById("myButton");
function grey() {
video.className += " greyscale";
}
function color() {
classGreyscale = video.className.indexOf("greyscale");
if (classGreyscale > 0)
video.className = video.className.substring(0, video.className.length - 10)
}
button.addEventListener('click', function() {
color();
});
grey();
.greyscale {
-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
filter: grayscale(100%);

So what we do here is add a transition class for our canvas, so it can animate the changes. Then when we add a grayscale class to it and this changes a css filter along with the transition so it fades in. When we want to make it colorful again we remove the greyscale class.
I made the example with an image but it will work with everything.
This way you fade in the class with 1s transition on all parameters (greyscale here). It is better to use this, because you don't have to count every pixel in grayscale, it is cleaner.
Note that you could use jQuery addClass removeClass for simpler and cleaner soultion.
Also note that you should average r,g,b with weights:

Saturation version with transition and -webkit-transition: -webkit-filter 10s;
This is only for Safari and Chrome.
The code is for hovering.
I guess very similar to #godzsa
The other method I can think of is to create a div with a higher index on top of your video with a play on white saturation.
For working Youtube video,

And for image,
div {
-webkit-filter:saturate(0.0);
-webkit-transition: -webkit-filter 10s; /* Safari */
transition: -webkit-filter 10s;
}
div:hover {
-webkit-filter:saturate(1.0);
}
