So basically the javascript draws two triangles, one with a blue border and the second with a green border. I have a button that when is pushed it should fill the triangle with a blue border blue.
Currently it does not work but when the {} are removed from the if statement at the bottom it colors the green bordered triangle green, im not sure why this happens.
Any tips would be very helpful!
window.onload = draw;
function draw() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
if (canvas.getContext) {
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.strokeStyle = "blue";
ctx.moveTo(600, 0);
ctx.lineTo(500, 200);
ctx.lineTo(700, 200);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.strokeStyle = "green";
ctx.moveTo(500, 210);
ctx.lineTo(700, 210);
ctx.lineTo(600, 410);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
}
}
function fillColor() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
if (ctx.strokeStyle == "blue") {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.fillStyle = "blue";
ctx.fill();
}
}
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="700" height="410"></canvas>
You cannot compare rectangles with the stroke color.You need to change your fillColor function a little bit . Please see the below code it may help you
HTML
<body>
<canvas id="myCanvas" width="700" height="410"></canvas>
</body>
Javascript
<script>
window.onload = draw;
function draw() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
if (canvas.getContext) {
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.strokeStyle = "blue";
ctx.moveTo(600, 0);
ctx.lineTo(500, 200);
ctx.lineTo(700, 200);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
fillColor(ctx,'blue');
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.strokeStyle = "green";
ctx.moveTo(500, 210);
ctx.lineTo(700, 210);
ctx.lineTo(600, 410);
ctx.closePath();
fillColor(ctx,'red');
}
}
function fillColor(ctx,color) {
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.fill();
}
You need to call the fillColor() function after creating each rectangle with the color to fill.

This is my code for a single cell in a grid. After I draw it a single time, when I call resetCell(), it draws the cell just a little bit bigger.
In this picture, I call Update for the very first cell and it becomes a tiny bit bigger than the rest.
I've tried pretty much everything but nothing seems to work.
Also can someone recommend better way to draw and control grid.
I need it to demonstrate BFS algorithm.
You were tricked by the thickness of the border
The border has a thickness, which is easy to forget. If you draw a box which is X wide, its left and right border are in addition to the width of X.
So if you do NOT fill the interior, you get this nice appearance (left), but if you FILL, you get this ugly appearance (right).
When you draw a grid of these squares, each one covers over the right-hand and bottom sides of previous squares, so that it is not obvious what is happening.
Unless you redraw one that is not the last of the list, as I have done here (bottom-middle). Then it becomes obvious that something is wrong.
Here is the code to reproduce the above figures, and below I recommend a solution.
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
// With NO fill, it looks fine
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(40, 40, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(80, 80, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
// With white fill, the inner half of each box gets covered up by the white fill.
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(140, 40, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(180, 80, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
// Make Grid. This part looks OK initially.
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(240, 40, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(240, 80, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(280, 40, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(280, 80, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(320, 40, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(320, 80, 40, 40);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle="white";
ctx.fill();
ctx.closePath();
// Redraw one: this will look messed up.
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rect(280, 80, 40, 40);

Solution 1. Don't fill the interiors
This is the neatest solution, if you can get away with it, and it works regardless of any (non-zero) border thickness.
Solution 2. Shrink the width to allow for border thickness
This is complicated because you need to manually set the border thickness, and realise that it is in addition to the numerical values you specify for the rectangle's size.
Look at this messy business at CSS-tricks, even when they are trying to make borders interesting! https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/b/border/
I want to transform the head of a dog to turn, but I don't know how to select an entire function and not more and transform this into an animation.
// The function
Head();
rotate();
// this is for the entire canvas, but how to do it specifically for a function
context.rotate(rotation);
rotation += 0.04
I am also not very familiar with animating in html canvas
You need to save() the context before the transformation. Next you call the function that draw the head. Then you restore() the context. In this way the head will be transformed nut not the rest of the canvas.
const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
let cw = canvas.width = 300,
cx = cw / 2;
let ch = canvas.height = 300,
cy = ch / 2;
let rotation = 0

I am unsure if I am even on the right track as I have a difficult time with animation. Does anyone have any suggestions they can give me guidance on?
You have 2 names for the context: mainContext & ctx.
Change it to a single name and your face is "smiley" ! :-)
...
To animate:
Use a requestAnimationFrame loop to change the scaleY value in scale(scaleX,scaleY) over time.
Here's annotated code and a Demo:
var mainCanvas = document.querySelector("#myCanvas");
var ctx = mainCanvas.getContext("2d");
var canvasWidth = mainCanvas.width;
var canvasHeight = mainCanvas.height;
ctx.translate(-425,-275);
drawCircle(1);
// global var to hold pct the left eye is open
// 1==fully open, 0==fully closed
var scaley=1;
var direction=-1;
// request 1 animate() loop
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
function animate(time){
// draw smiley with the specified eye openness
drawCircle(scaley);
scaley+=.02*direction;
if(scaley<0){
scaley=0;
direction=1;
}
if(scaley>1){
scaley=1;
direction=-1;
}
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}
function drawCircle(scaleY) {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvasWidth, canvasHeight);
// color in the background
ctx.fillStyle = "#EEEEEE";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvasWidth, canvasHeight);
// draw the circle
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.strokeStyle = "000000";
ctx.lineWidth = 5;
ctx.fillStyle = "yellow";
ctx.arc(600, 450, 150, 0, Math.PI * 2, true);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
//The smile
ctx.beginPath();
ctxstrokeStyle = "black";
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.arc(600, 475, 75, .1 * Math.PI, Math.PI * .9, false)
ctx.stroke();
//The eyes
//Left
ctx.save();
// move the [0,0] origin to the left eye's centerpoint
ctx.translate(550,405);
// close the left eye by the specified scaleY
ctx.scale(0.65, scaleY);
ctx.beginPath();
// draw the left eye (arc) at 0,0 because
// we translated the origin to [550,405] earlier
ctx.arc(0, 0, 40, 0 * Math.PI, Math.PI * 2, false);
ctx.fillStyle="black";
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.restore();
//Right
ctx.save();
ctx.scale(0.65, 1);
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(1000,405,40, 0*Math.PI, Math.PI*2, false);
ctx.fillStyle="black";
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.restore()

You never declared a ctx variable.
Change all your mainContext by ctx and it should be working fine.
I have created a triangle shaped image mask with the Canvas element. I have a field of text which I want to display at the bottom line of this triangle when mouse over. I can´t figure out how to make the text display only when hovering.
I am a beginner at this... Any help appriciated!
This is the code I got so far:
HTML code:
<body>
<canvas id="canvas" width=300 height=300></canvas>
</body>
Javascript:
function masks() {
var canvas=document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d");
var img=new Image();
img.onload=function(){
draw(ctx,img,"Hello!");
}
img.src="canvas01.png";
function draw(ctx,img,text){
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(canvas.width / 2, 0);
ctx.lineTo(canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.lineTo(0, canvas.height);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.clip();
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
if(text){
ctx.fillStyle = "#f30";
ctx.fillRect(0,canvas.height-20,canvas.width,20);
ctx.fillStyle = "black";
ctx.font="14pt Verdana";
var textWidth=ctx.measureText(text).width;
ctx.fillText(text,(canvas.width-textWidth)/2,canvas.height-3);
}
}
};
Here's how...
You can draw your text when the user's mouse is over the canvas element using:
canvas.addEventListener("mouseover",function(){
draw(ctx,img,"Hello!");
});
You can clear the text when the user's mouse has moved outside the canvas element using:
canvas.addEventListener("mouseout",function(){
draw(ctx,img);
});
Note that your draw function now clears the canvas in preparation for redrawing:
function draw(ctx,img,text){
ctx.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
ctx.save();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(canvas.width / 2, 0);
ctx.lineTo(canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.lineTo(0, canvas.height);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.clip();
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
if(text){
ctx.fillStyle = "#f30";
ctx.fillRect(0,canvas.height-20,canvas.width,20);
ctx.fillStyle = "black";
ctx.font="14pt Verdana";
var textWidth=ctx.measureText(text).width;
ctx.fillText(text,(canvas.width-textWidth)/2,canvas.height-3);
}
ctx.restore();
}

Seemed simple enough to draw circles and text in an HTML5 canvas, but I get non-intuitive behavior. The circles get drawn nice and pretty, then the more circles I draw, the older circles become more and more octagonal shaped. Very strange to me... Also, the text disappears from the old circles and only appears on the last circle drawn. What's the proper way to do this with canvases?
$("#circles_container").on("click", "#circles_canvas", function(event) {
var canvas = document.getElementById('circles_canvas');
if (canvas.getContext) {
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var w = 16;
var x = event.pageX;
var y = Math.floor(event.pageY-$(this).offset().top);
ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(200,0,0)";
ctx.arc(x, y, w/2, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
ctx.fill();
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.font = '8pt Calibri';
ctx.fillStyle = 'white';
ctx.textAlign = 'center';
ctx.fillText('0', x, y+3);
}
});
Just add this near the start of your function :
ctx.beginPath();
You were drawing a path always longer.
