When a mouse is hovering a image. It gets detect by this if statement:
if ((distance(circles[this.index].x, circles[this.index].y, mouse.x, mouse.y)) < circles[this.index].radius)
I also want to detect when a mouse it outside a image.
After that previous if statement I cannot use else the reason is because:
When I generate multiple images on screen and when my mouse if hovering over 1 image. It does hover of that image and the code detects it but it also doesnt hover of all the other images. That is the reason that is display 4 times "outside circle" and 1 time "inside circle"
As seen in the log:
Console.log output:
Mouse inside circle
Mouse outside circle 4
Mouse inside circle
Mouse outside circle 4
Im looking for a way the detect when the mouse is leaving a circle.
You can find the code I'm working with below:
PS: it it important that it detect in what (index) circle the mouse is and leaves.
I want to create a huge amount of pictures, but in the code below I used 5 for demo purpeses.
var mouse = {
x: innerWidth / 2,
y: innerHeight / 2
};
// Mouse Event Listeners
addEventListener('mousemove', event => {
mouse.x = event.clientX;
mouse.y = event.clientY;
});
//Calculate distance between 2 objects
function distance(x1, y1, x2, y2) {
let xDistance = x2 - x1;
let yDistance = y2 - y1;
return Math.sqrt(Math.pow(xDistance, 2) + Math.pow(yDistance, 2));
}
// Sqaure to circle
function makeCircleImage(radius, src, callback) {
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = canvas.height = radius * 2;
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var img = new Image();
img.src = src;
img.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// we use compositing, offers better antialiasing than clip()
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = 'destination-in';
ctx.arc(radius, radius, radius, 0, Math.PI*2);
ctx.fill();
callback(canvas);
};
}
function Circle( x, y, radius, index ) {
//Give var for circle
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.dx = 1;
this.dy = 1;
this.radius = radius;
this.index = index;
}
// use prototyping if you wish to make it a class
Circle.prototype = {
//Draw circle on canvas
draw: function () {
var
x = (this.x - this.radius),
y = (this.y - this.radius);
// draw is a single call
c.drawImage( this.image, x, y );
},
//Updates position of images
update: function () {
var
max_right = canvas.width + this.radius,
max_left = this.radius * -1;
this.x += this.dx;
if( this.x > max_right ) {
this.x += max_right - this.x;
this.dx *= -1;
}
if( this.x < max_left ) {
this.x += max_left - this.x;
this.dx *= -1;
}
if ((distance(circles[this.index].x, circles[this.index].y, mouse.x, mouse.y)) < circles[this.index].radius) {
// Mouse inside circle
console.log("Mouse inside circle")
} else{
//The mouse is in one circle
//And out of 4 other circles
console.log("Mouse outside circle")
}
},
init: function(callback) {

makeCircleImage( this.radius, url, function(img) {
this.image = img;
callback();
}.bind(this));
}
};
//Animate canvas
function animate() {
c.clearRect(0, 0, window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
circles.forEach(function( circle ) {
circle.update();
});
circles.forEach(function( circle ) {
circle.draw();
});
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}
//Init canvas
var canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
var c = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
//init circle objects
var circles = [
new Circle(10, 100, 50,0),
new Circle(10, 200, 30,1),

circles.forEach(function(circle) {
circle.init(oncircledone);
});
function oncircledone() {
if(++ready === circles.length) {
animate()
}
}
<canvas></canvas>
just add another property to circle
function Circle(x, y, radius, index) {
//Give var for circle
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.dx = 1;
this.dy = 1;
this.radius = radius;
this.index = index;
this.mouseInside = false
}
and then the update logic change to this
if ((distance(this.x, this.y, mouse.x, mouse.y)) < circles[this.index].radius) {
if (!this.mouseInside) {
this.mouseInside = true
console.log(`mouse enter circele at ${this.index}`)
}
}
else if (this.mouseInside) {
this.mouseInside = false
console.log(`mouse leave circele at ${this.index}`)
}
check if circles overlap and the you can decide if you want to update
var overlapsCircles = circles.filter(circle => {
var diffrentId = circle.index != this.index
var overlapping =
distance(this.x, this.y, circle.x, circle.y) < this.radius
return diffrentId && overlapping
})
if (overlapsCircles.length > 0) {
var overlapCircle = overlapsCircles.map(circle => circle.index)
console.log('overlap circle with index ' + overlapCircle)
}
var mouse = {

Ambiguities
It is not clear what you need in regard to circles and some point (in this answer point is a substitute for mouse and only requires that it have the properties x and y to be valid ).
The lack of information in your question concerns the facts
that many circles can be under the point at the same time.
and that more than one circle can move from under to out or out to under the point per frame.
the wording of the question suggest you are after just one circle which conflicts with the above 2 concerns.
Assumptions
I will assume that the interaction with the circles are more than just a simple on under event like interaction. That they may include animation related behaviors that are triggered by the state related to the point.
I assume that the visual order of the circles will determine how you select circles of interest.
That all circles per frame that meet the required conditions and can be accessed quickly.
That performance is important as you wish to have many circles that interact with a point.
That there is only one point (mouse, touch, other source) per frame that interacts with the circles
There is no requirement for circle circle interaction
Solution
The example below covers the above assumptions and resolves any ambiguities in the question. It is designed to be efficient and flexible.
The circles are stored in an array that has had its properties extended called circles
Rendering and state sets
The function circles.updateDraw(point) updates and draws all the circles. The argument point is a point to check the circle against. It defaults to the mouse.
All circles are drawn with an outline. Circles under the point (eg mouse) are filled with green, Circles just moved to under the point (eg onMouseOver) are filled with yellow, circle that have just move out from under are filled with red.
There are 3 arrays as properties of circles that contain circles as define...
circles.under All circles under the point
circles.outFromUnder All circles just out from under the point
circles.newUnder All circles new to under the point
These array are populated by the function circles.updateDraw(point)
Query all circles point state
Circles also have 3 functions that refer to the above arrays as set the default set is circles.under.
The functions are..
circles.firstInSet(set) Returns the first circle (The visual bottom most) in set or undefined
circles.lastInSet(set) Returns the last circle (The visual top most) in set or undefined
circles.closestInSet(set) Returns the closest circle to the point in set or undefined
For example to get the visual top most circle just under the mouse you would call circles.lastInSet(circles.newUnder) or to get the circle closest to the mouse from all circles under the mouse you would call circles.closestInSet(circles.newUnder) (or as it defaults to set under call circles.closestInSet() )
Circle additional states
Each Circle has some additional properties.
Circle.distSqr is the square of the distance from the point
Circle.rSqr is the square of the radius calculated when constructed.
Circle.underCount This value can be used to apply animations to the circle based on its relative state to the point.
If positive is the number of frames plus 1, the circle is under the point.
If this value is 1 then the circle is just moved from not under to under.
If this value is 0 the it has just moved out from under the point.
If negative this value is the number of frames the circle is not under the point
Running Demo
Use mouse to move over circles.
The circle closest and under the mouse is filled with white with alpha = 0.5

Well, the mouse is moving and you can simply create a Set which will contain circle objects that will store the circle(s) you are in:
let circleOfTrust = new Set();
//At the initialization you need to add any circles your point is currently in
and then at the loop:
circles.forEach(function( circle ) {
circleOfTrust[circle.update(circleOfTrust.has(circle)) ? "add" : "delete"](circle);
});
if (circleOfTrust.size() === 0) {
//point is outside the circles
} else {
//point is inside the circles in the set
}
and the update:
update: function (isInside) {
var
max_right = canvas.width + this.radius,
max_left = this.radius * -1;
this.x += this.dx;
if( this.x > max_right ) {
this.x += max_right - this.x;
this.dx *= -1;
}
if( this.x < max_left ) {
this.x += max_left - this.x;
this.dx *= -1;
}
return distance(circles[this.index].x, circles[this.index].y, mouse.x, mouse.y)) < circles[this.index].radius;
},
I would propose the following:
Keep a stack of figures with the order of how they were created (or any other meaningful order). This is needed to detect moves over overlapping figures.
Implement a function/method that iterates the stack and determines if the cursor is inside any of the figures.
Remember the last state, on state transition inside->ouside triggers an event.
function FiguresCollection(canvas, callback)
{
var buffer = [];
var lastHitFigure = null;
var addFigure = function(figure)
{
buffer.push(figure);
}
var onMouseMove = function(e)
{
var currentHit = null;
// iterating from the other end, recently added figures are overlapping previous ones
for (var i= buffer.length-1;i>=0;i--)
{
if (distance(e.offsetX, e.offsetY, buffer[i].x, buffer[i].y) <= buffer[i].radius) {
// the cursor is inside Figure i
// if it come from another figure
if (lastHitFigure !== i)
{
console.log("The cursor had left figure ", lastHitFigure, " and entered ",i);
callback(buffer[i]);
}
lastHitFigure = i;
currentHit = i;
break; // we do not care about figures potentially underneath
}
}
if (lastHitFigure !== null && currentHit == null)
{
console.log("the cursor had left Figure", lastHitFigure, " and is not over any other ");
lastHitFigure = null;
callback(buffer[lastHitFigure]);
}
}
}
canvas.addEventListener("mousemove", onMouseMove);
this.addFigure = addFigure;
}
Now use it:
var col = new FiguresCollection(canvas, c=> console.log("The cursor had left, ", c) );
for(let i in circles)
{
c.addFigure(circles[i]);
}
// I hope I got the code right. I haven't tested it. Please point out any issues or errors.
I am trying to draw a group of shapes using canvas.
I have referenced below SO threads:
Draw a parallel line
How to draw parallel line using three.js?
but not able to figure out how to calculate points for the rectangles parallel in as we stretch the line.
Any reference for stretching shapes with canvas is appreciated.

I'm guessing this is what you wanted.
Instead of trying to manually draw your line rotated, instead, move the origin of the canvas to the start of the line,
// save the canvas state
ctx.save();
// move origin to start of line
ctx.translate(last_mousex, last_mousey);
then rotate the origin so it points toward the end of the line in the positive X direction
// compute direction of line from start to end
const dx = mousex - last_mousex;
const dy = mousey - last_mousey;
const angle = Math.atan2(dy, dx);
// rotate to point to end of line
ctx.rotate(angle);
then compute the length of the line from the start to the end
// compute length of line
const length = Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy);
and just draw an arrow in the positive x direction of that length
ctx.setLineDash([5, 15]);
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
ctx.lineTo(length, 0);
ctx.strokeStyle = 'blue';
ctx.lineDashOffset = 2;
ctx.lineWidth = 5;
ctx.lineJoin = ctx.lineCap = 'round';
ctx.stroke();
drawPolygon([0, length, length, 0, 0],
[-10, -10, -60, -60],true, 'gray', false, 'black', 2);
drawPolygon([0, length, length, 0, 0],
[+10, +10, +60, +60],true, 'gray', false, 'black', 2);
// restore the canvas state
ctx.restore();
while we're at it your code for calculating the mouse position didn't work if the page is scrolled. This will get the mouse position relative to the pixels in the canvas.
const rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
mousex = (e.clientX - rect.left) * canvas.width / canvas.clientWidth;
mousey = (e.clientY - rect.top ) * canvas.height / canvas.clientHeight;

Here are two ways to do this: with a gradient and by adding translucent lines.
Sidenote, you should try and only redraw what you need to redraw. I separated the canvases and put one on top of the other so that we don't redraw the grid all the time.

The problem is that to get this effect, you need to draw a triangle with a gradient along an arc, and you can't do that in a canvas. Gradients must be linear or radial.
The other option is to have an inner loop run each time you want to draw the sweeper, and go backwards from your sweeper line, drawing with slightly less opacity each time. But lets say you want your sweep to cover 15 degrees--obviously, if you have a 100% opacity line at d and a 5% opacity line at d - 15, that doesn't do the trick. So start filling in more lines, and more lines...you will have to draw so many lines to make it seem filled your performance would probably suffer.
My suggestion--you shouldn't have to redraw that on every frame. I would just make a PNG that looks like you want it to, and then place it and just rotate it around the center on each frame. No need to redraw it all the time then. That will be much faster than drawing a bunch of lines.
Canvas stack trails.
Below is a quick demo of how to use a stack of canvases to create a trailing effect.
You have a normal on screen canvas (this FX will not effect it) and then a stack of canvases for the trail FX. Each frame you move to the next canvas in the stack, first slightly clearing it then drawing to it what you want to trail. Then you render that canvas and the one just above it to the canvas.
A point to keep in mind is that the trails can also have a hugh range of FX, like blurring (just render each frame stack on itself slightly offset each time you render to it), zoom in and out trails. Trails on top or trails under. You can change the trail distance and much more.
It is overkill but over kill is fun.
The slider above the demo controls the trail length. Also the code need babel because I dont have time to write it for ES5.
Top slider is trail amount.One under that is trail distance. Trail dist does not transition well. Sorry about that.

I am creating a canvas dynamically and then drawing a circle.
However, as shown, the circle appears stretched and offset:
var max = 50;
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.id = "mazecanvas";
var size = (document.documentElement.clientWidth / 100) * max;
canvas.style.width = size + "px";
canvas.style.height = size + "px";
canvas.style.position = "absolute";
canvas.style.left = size / 2 + "px";
canvas.style.top = (document.documentElement.clientHeight / 2) - (size / 2) + "px";
document.body.appendChild(canvas);
var x, y;
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
function circle() {
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-in";
ctx.beginPath();
console.log(x, y);
ctx.arc(x, y, 10, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
}
function getMousePos(canvas, evt) {
var rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
return {
x: evt.clientX - rect.left,
y: evt.clientY - rect.top
};
}
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(evt) {
var mousePos = getMousePos(canvas, evt);
x = mousePos.x;
y = mousePos.y;
}, false);
function draw() {
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
for (var i = 0; i < max; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < max; j++) {
ctx.fillStyle = 'rgb(' + Math.floor(255 - 5.5 * i) + ',' + Math.floor(255 - 5.5 * j) + ',0)';
ctx.fillRect(j * (canvas.width / max), i * (canvas.height / max), canvas.width / max, canvas.height / max);
}
}
circle();
setTimeout(draw, 10);
}
draw();
I do not understand what I am doing wrong, I know it is to do with the canvas creation as when I remove it, and replace it with a static one, the problem is gone:
var max = 50;
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var x, y;
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
function circle() {
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "destination-in";
ctx.beginPath();

ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
}
function getMousePos(canvas, evt) {
var rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
return {
x: evt.clientX - rect.left,
y: evt.clientY - rect.top
};
}
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(evt) {
var mousePos = getMousePos(canvas, evt);
x = mousePos.x;
y = mousePos.y;
}, false);
function draw() {
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
for (var i = 0; i < max; i++) {
for (var j = 0; j < max; j++) {
ctx.fillStyle = 'rgb(' + Math.floor(255 - 5.5 * i) + ',' + Math.floor(255 - 5.5 * j) + ',0)';
ctx.fillRect(j * (canvas.width / max), i * (canvas.height / max), canvas.width / max, canvas.height / max);
}
}
circle();
setTimeout(draw, 10);
}
draw();
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
Setting the canvas's CSS style will stretch and squish the pixels. That's why your circle becomes an oval.
Instead, set the canvas element's width and height. This actually adds (or removes) pixels to the canvas to become the specified size. This will keep your circle circular. ;-)
canvas.width=500; // no need to add "px"
canvas.height=400;
How to move the square to the destination? Square moves one pixel only when click the mouse? Sorry for my english.
window.onload = function(){
var x = 50;
var y = 50;
var c = document.getElementById("game");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");

draw();
function init()
{
document.addEventListener("click",paint,false);
}
function paint(e)
{
if(x<e.clientX) x++;
}
function draw()
{
ctx.clearRect(x-1,y,1,15);
ctx.fillStyle = "blue";
ctx.fillRect(x,y,15,15);
window.requestAnimationFrame(draw);
}
}
Here is one way to do it, adapted from this article that I wrote a few months back.
The following is the piece to get it working
var tx = targetX - x,
ty = targetY - y,
dist = Math.sqrt(tx*tx+ty*ty);
velX = (tx/dist)*thrust;
velY = (ty/dist)*thrust;
We need to get the difference between the current position and targeted position (clicked area), we then get the distance, and make the velocity for x and y equal to the difference divided by the total distance multiplied by the speed of the object.
