How to scale Canvas shapes?

Please check out this code :
(function() {
var cnv = document.getElementById('canvas');
if (cnv.getContext) {
var ctx = cnv.getContext('2d');
} else {
alert('God Damn it ...');
}
function initialize() {
window.addEventListener('resize', resizeCanvas, false);
resizeCanvas();
}
function draw() {
for (var i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
width = Math.random() * cnv.width;
height = Math.random() * cnv.height;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(width, height, 15, 0, Math.PI * 2);
ctx.strokeStyle = '#E1E1E1';
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.stroke();
}
}
function resizeCanvas() {
cnv.width = window.innerWidth;
cnv.height = window.innerHeight;
draw();
}
initialize();
})();
I have created 25 Circle shape with random position and I want to create an animation that scales up or down in a interval time. I know about setInterval but how should I call my shape to do something on it?

The first thing you will want to do is to have a place to store the position of your circles, since they are all going to be the same radius we can just store the x and y position. For that we can create a Circle function ("class") and have an array of circles:
var circles = []; // Array to store our circles
var minRadius = 1; // The smallest radius we can hit
var maxRadius = 100; // The largest radius we can hit
var currentRadius = 15;// The current radius of all our circles
var scaleBy = 1; // How the radius changes
var cnv = document.getElementById('canvas');
// ...
function initialize() {
window.addEventListener('resize', resizeCanvas, false);
resizeCanvas();
// Populating the array of circles to use when drawing
for (var i = 0; i < 25; i++) { // Make sure to do this after re-sizing the canvas
width = Math.random() * cnv.width;
height = Math.random() * cnv.height;
circles.push(new Circle(width, height));
}
}
// ...
function Circle(x, y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
Circle.prototype.draw = function(){
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(this.x, this.y, currentRadius, 0, Math.PI * 2);
ctx.strokeStyle = '#E1E1E1';
ctx.lineWidth = 5;
ctx.stroke();
}
Now that you have some circles when you call draw you can iterate through the array and call circle.draw() for each circle element in your array:
function draw() {
// Clear the screen and draw the circles in our array
ctx.clearRect(0,0, cnv.width, cnv.height);
for (var i = 0; i < circles.length; i++) {
circles[i].draw();
}
}
One note is you will want to use ctx.clearRect(0,0, cnv.width, cnv.height) to clear the screen before drawing.
Finally you can now use setInterval to change the currentRadius (*While there is nothing wrong with setInterval I'd recommend using window.requestAnimationFrame for animation as it's a bit more smooth and efficient method). Then when you call draw it will draw the circles with the new value of currentRadius. In this example I'm going to have it start at 15. Then increase by 1 until it hits maxRadius, then we can flip the sign of scaleBy to start decreasing the radius to make them smaller. Finally when it his our minRadius you can flip the sign of scaleBy again to make it start scaling up again:
var timer = setInterval( function(){
// If we hit our min or max start scaling in the other direction
if(currentRadius > maxRadius || currentRadius < minRadius){
scaleBy *= -1;
}
currentRadius += scaleBy;
draw();
}, 50);
Below is a code snippet of the complete program:
(function() {
var circles = [];
var minRadius = 1;
var maxRadius = 100;
var currentRadius = 15;
var scaleBy = 1;
var cnv = document.getElementById('canvas');
if (cnv.getContext) {
var ctx = cnv.getContext('2d');
} else {
alert('God Damn it ...');
}
function initialize() {
window.addEventListener('resize', resizeCanvas, false);
resizeCanvas();
for (var i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
width = Math.random() * cnv.width;
height = Math.random() * cnv.height;
circles.push(new Circle(width, height));
}
}
function draw() {
ctx.clearRect(0,0, cnv.width, cnv.height);
for (var i = 0; i < circles.length; i++) {
circles[i].draw();
}
}
function resizeCanvas() {
cnv.width = window.innerWidth;
cnv.height = window.innerHeight;
}
function Circle(x, y){
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
Circle.prototype.draw = function(){
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(this.x, this.y, currentRadius, 0, Math.PI * 2);
ctx.strokeStyle = '#E1E1E1';
ctx.lineWidth = 5;
ctx.stroke();
}
initialize();
var timer = setInterval( function(){
if(currentRadius > maxRadius || currentRadius < minRadius){
scaleBy *= -1;
}
currentRadius += scaleBy;
draw();
}, 50);
})();

How to draw canvas trailing line with opacity

I'm attempting to draw the rotating line in this canvas animation with trailing opacity but it's not working. I've seen this effect with rectangles and arcs but never with a line, so I'm not sure what I need to add.
function radians(degrees) {
return degrees * (Math.PI / 180);
}
var timer = 0;
function sonar() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('sonar');
if (canvas) {
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var cx = innerWidth / 2,
cy = innerHeight / 2;
canvas.width = innerWidth;
canvas.height = innerHeight;
//ctx.clearRect(0, 0, innerWidth, innerHeight);
ctx.fillStyle = 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)';
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, innerWidth, innerHeight);
var radii = [cy, cy - 30, innerHeight / 3.33, innerHeight / 6.67];
for (var a = 0; a < 4; a++) {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(cx, cy, radii[a], radians(0), radians(360), false);
ctx.strokeStyle = 'limegreen';
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
}
// draw grid lines
for (var i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
var x = cx + cy * Math.cos(radians(i * 30));
var y = cy + cy * Math.sin(radians(i * 30));
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(cx, cy);
ctx.lineTo(x, y);
ctx.lineCap = 'round';
ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgba(50, 205, 50, 0.45)';
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
}
if (timer <= 360) {
timer++;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.fillstyle = 'limegreen';
ctx.moveTo(cx, cy);
ctx.lineTo(cx + cy * Math.cos(radians(timer)), cy + cy * Math.sin(radians(timer)));
ctx.strokeStyle = 'limegreen';
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
} else {
timer = 0;
}
requestAnimationFrame(sonar);
}
}
sonar();
jsbin example

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.
function radians(degrees) {
return degrees * (Math.PI / 180);

canvas.width = innerWidth;
canvas.height = innerHeight;
if (timer <= 360) {
timer++;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.fillstyle = 'limegreen';
ctx.moveTo(cx, cy);
ctx.arc(cx,cy,cy,radians(timer-30),radians(timer));
ctx.lineTo(cx + cy * Math.cos(radians(timer)), cy + cy * Math.sin(radians(timer)));
var gradient = ctx.createLinearGradient(
cx+cy*Math.cos(radians(timer)), cy+cy*Math.sin(radians(timer)),
cx+cy*0.9*Math.cos(radians(timer-30)), cy+cy*0.9*Math.sin(radians(timer-30)));
gradient.addColorStop(0,'limegreen');
gradient.addColorStop(1,'transparent');
ctx.strokeStyle='transparent';
ctx.fillStyle = gradient;
ctx.fill();
ctx.beginPath();
var fade = 10;
for(var i =0;i<fade;i++)
{
ctx.moveTo(cx, cy);
ctx.lineTo(cx+cy*Math.cos(radians(180+timer-i*1.3)),cy+cy*Math.sin(radians(180+timer-i*1.3)));
ctx.strokeStyle ="rgba(50,205,50,0.1)";
ctx.lineWidth=5;
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
}
} else {

}
requestAnimationFrame(trail);
}
function sonar() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('sonar');

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.

Wrap whole image on cylindrical cup in javascript html5

I want to wrap image on cylindrical cup. I am using html5 and Java script for achieve this solution. I got some idea from this link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31424117/.
But i am not getting solution from this link.
I want to wrap remaining image behind the cup, Like mold the remaining part and add some button for rotation.
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script>
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var productImg = new Image();
productImg.onload = function () {
var iw = productImg.width;
var ih = productImg.height;
console.log("height");
canvas.width = iw;
canvas.height = ih;
ctx.drawImage(productImg, 0, 0, productImg.width, productImg.height, 0, 0, iw, ih);
//start();
// outline
/*ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(88, 235.734375);
ctx.bezierCurveTo(88, 234.734375, 204, 298, 327, 234.734375);
ctx.stroke();*/
};
productImg.src = "https://d2z4fd79oscvvx.cloudfront.net/0018872_inspirational_teacher_mug.jpeg";
var img = new Image();
img.onload = start;
img.src = "http://blog.foreigners.cz/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Make-new-friends.jpg";
var pointer = 0;
function start() {
var iw = img.width;
var ih = img.height;
//canvas.width = iw + 20;
//canvas.height = ih + 20;
var x1 = 125;
var y1 = 130;
var x2 = 180;
var y2 = 190;
var x3 = 405;
var y3 = 150;
// calc line equations slope & b (m,b)
var unitT = 1 / iw;
// draw vertical slices
for (var X = 0, t = 0; X < iw; X++, t += unitT) {
var xTop = (1 - t) * (1 - t) * x1 + 2 * (1 - t) * t * x2 + t * t * x3;
var yTop = (1 - t) * (1 - t) * y1 + 2 * (1 - t) * t * y2 + t * t * y3;
ctx.drawImage(img, X + pointer, 0, 1, ih, xTop, yTop, 0.85, ih - 600);
}
If i change the pointer value in above code, than remaining image
stretch.
var pointer = 100 ;
I want to wrap image on whole mug and rotate in left and right.

I've played around your plunkr for some time and came up with this:
http://plnkr.co/edit/83xAr99FjswWg0GHjDvJ?p=preview
function start() {
var iw = img.width;
var ih = img.height;
var xOffset = 125,
yOffset = 122;
var a = 122.0;
var b = 30.0;
var scaleFactor = iw / (2*a); //how many times original image is greater compared to our rendering area?
// draw vertical slices
for (var X = 0; X < iw; X+=1) {
var y = b/a * Math.sqrt(a*a - (X-a)*(X-a)); // ellipsis equation
ctx.drawImage(img, X * scaleFactor, 0, 6, ih, X + xOffset, y + yOffset, 1, ih - 605 + y/2);
}
}
I took this ellipsis equation http://www.mathopenref.com/coordgeneralellipse.html and turn it into the form where I can get Y-coordinate from related X-coordinate.
You can play with my plunkr even more to make the image more accurately cover the cup, but it is still far away from reality because this method is not considering different lightning features of the surface of the cup.

HTML Canvas, blurring drawn polygon

I made this (run snippet below)
var Canvas = document.getElementById('c');
var ctx = Canvas.getContext('2d');
var resize = function() {
Canvas.width = Canvas.clientWidth;
Canvas.height = Canvas.clientHeight;
};
window.addEventListener('resize', resize);
resize();
var elements = [];
var presets = {};
presets.shard = function (x, y, s, random, color) {
return {
x: x,
y: y,
draw: function(ctx, t) {
this.x += 0;
this.y += 0;
var posX = this.x + + Math.sin((50 + x + (t / 10)) / 100) * 5;
var posy = this.y + + Math.sin((55 + x + (t / 10)) / 100) * 7;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.moveTo(posX, posy);
ctx.lineTo(posX+random,posy+random);
ctx.lineTo(posX+random,posy+random);
ctx.lineTo(posX+0,posy+50);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
}
}
};
for(var x = 0; x < Canvas.width; x++) {
for(var y = 0; y < Canvas.height; y++) {
if(Math.round(Math.random() * 60000) == 1) {
var s = ((Math.random() * 5) + 1) / 10;
if(Math.round(Math.random()) == 1){
var random = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100) + 10;
var colorRanges = ['#8c8886', '#9c9995'];
var color = colorRanges[Math.floor(Math.random() * colorRanges.length)];
elements.push(presets.shard(x, y, s, random, color));
}
}
}
}
setInterval(function() {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, Canvas.width, Canvas.height);
var time = new Date().getTime();
for (var e in elements)
elements[e].draw(ctx, time);
}, 10);
<canvas id="c" width="1000" height="1000"\>
I just need to add one feature to be able to use it on the site I'm building it for. Some of the floating shards need to be blurred to give a sense of depth.
Can Canvas do this, and if so, how?

context.filter = 'blur(10px)';
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CanvasRenderingContext2D/filter

I used this few months ago, maybe it could work for you as well :
var canvas = document.getElementById("heroCanvas");
var canvasContext = canvas.getContext("2d");
var canvasBackground = new Image();
canvasBackground.src = "image.jpg";
var drawBlur = function() {
// Store the width and height of the canvas for below
var w = canvas.width;
var h = canvas.height;
// This draws the image we just loaded to our canvas
canvasContext.drawImage(canvasBackground, 0, 0, w, h);
// This blurs the contents of the entire canvas
stackBlurCanvasRGBA("heroCanvas", 0, 0, w, h, 100);
}
canvasBackground.onload = function() {
drawBlur();
}

Animating sine wave in js

I'm trying to animate a sine wave in JS but it's not acting as expected. I'm using a <canvas> element along with window.requestAnimationFrame() method but it's a CPU hog and as i change frequency with the slider it just break and show random waveforms. I also don't know if drawing adjacent lines is the best way to represent a sine wave. Please note that i'll use vanilla JS and that the sine's frequency and amplitude are variables set by sliders. Thanks in advance.
This is what i got so far: http://cssdeck.com/labs/8cq5vclp
UPDATE: i worked on it and this is the new version: http://cssdeck.com/labs/sbfynjkr
var canvas = document.querySelector("canvas"),
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"),
cHeight = canvas.height,
cWidth = canvas.width,
frequency = document.querySelector("#f").value,
amplitude = 80,
x = 0,
y = cHeight / 2,
point_y = 0;
window.onload = init;
function init() {
document.querySelector("#f").addEventListener("input", function() {
frequency = this.value;
document.querySelector("#output_f").value = frequency;
}, false);
drawSine();
}
function drawSine() {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, cWidth, cHeight);
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(0, y);
ctx.strokeStyle = "red";
ctx.lineTo(cWidth, y);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.strokeStyle = "black";
for (x = 0; x < 600; x++) {
point_y = amplitude * -Math.sin((frequency / 95.33) * x) + y;
ctx.lineTo(x, point_y);
}
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
requestAnimationFrame(drawSine);
}
canvas {
border: 1px solid red;
margin: 10px;
}
<input id="f" type="range" min="0" max="20000" value="20" step="1">
<output for="f" id="output_f">20</output>
<canvas width="600px" height="200px"></canvas>

I've messed around with sine waves quite a bit, because I'm working on a little project that involves animated sine waves. I've got some code you might be interested in taking a look at. Like mentioned earlier, you need to make sure you are using the right increment in your loop so the lines do not look jagged.
https://jsfiddle.net/uawLvymc/
window.requestAnimationFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame ||
window.mozRequestAnimationFrame ||
window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame ||
window.msRequestAnimationFrame ||
function(f) {
return setTimeout(f, 1000 / 60)
};
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var startTime = new Date().getTime();
function getPath(height) {
var width = canvas.width;
var spacing = 0.08;
var loopNum = 0;
var pointList = [];
var i = 0;
for (i = 0; i < width / 2; i++) {
pointList[loopNum] = [loopNum, Math.sin(loopNum * spacing) * (i * height) + 100];
loopNum++;
}
for (i = width / 2; i > 0; i--) {
pointList[loopNum] = [loopNum, Math.sin(loopNum * spacing) * (i * height) + 100];
loopNum++;
}
return pointList;
}
function draw() {
var currentTime = new Date().getTime();
var runTime = currentTime - startTime;
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.strokeStyle = "rgb(80, 100, 230)";
var height = Math.sin(runTime * 0.008) * 0.2;
var pointList = getPath(height);
for (var i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
if (i === 0) {
ctx.moveTo(pointList[0][0], pointList[0][1]);
} else {
ctx.lineTo(pointList[i][0], pointList[i][1]);
}
}
ctx.stroke();
window.requestAnimationFrame(draw);
}
window.requestAnimationFrame(draw);
Sorry I didn't really edit down the code, it's just a direct copy from what I was working on. Hope it helps though.

See if this example could help you a little
Sine Wave Example canvas
function init()
{
setInterval(OnDraw, 200);
