Canvas within a scrollable browser window (grab position) - javascript

I have an issue when drawing in a canvas within a browser window that has a vertical scrollbar.
The figures is at the correct position, and is possible to grab it around the canvas and make the connections, but this is only possible with the vertical scrollbar (of the browser window) fully up.
When the window is scrolled down, the nodes can't be dragged any more, and even the cursor doest change when its hovering the node.
I figured out that its possible to drag the node when scrolled down. Somehow, the "grabbing area" of the node doesn't change its position, as if this area had a fixed position according to the browser window.
What I'm doing wrong?
obs.: Cant post images :(, I don't have enough reputation.
Thanks in advance!

You basically need to modify that code to offset page scroll position
canvas.fromDocumentToCanvasCoordinate = $.proxy(function(x, y) {
return new draw2d.geo.Point(
(x + window.pageXOffset - this.getAbsoluteX() + this.getScrollLeft())*this.zoomFactor,
(y + window.pageYOffset - this.getAbsoluteY() + this.getScrollTop())*this.zoomFactor);
},canvas);
canvas.fromCanvasToDocumentCoordinate = $.proxy(function(x,y) {
return new draw2d.geo.Point(
((x*(1/this.zoomFactor)) + this.getAbsoluteX() - this.getScrollLeft() - window.pageXOffset),
((y*(1/this.zoomFactor)) + this.getAbsoluteY() - this.getScrollTop() - window.pageYOffset));
},canvas);

I posted the same question in the google group of Draw2d and receive the following answer from the framework developer, Andreas Herz.
"Hi
this is small design flaw in the lib.
normaly it is possible to "autodetect" the scroll position of the div/canvas. But i didn't it currently.
Solution:
EITHER: set the scroll container in the draw2d.Canvas with the method Canvas#setScrollArea(DOMNode node)
OR: you calculate by your own if the first solution didn't work
var canvas = new draw2d.Canvas("domId");
canvas.fromDocumentToCanvasCoordinate = $.proxy(function(x, y) {
return new draw2d.geo.Point(
(x - this.getAbsoluteX() + this.getScrollLeft())*this.zoomFactor,
(y - this.getAbsoluteY() + this.getScrollTop())*this.zoomFactor);
},canvas);
/**
* #method
* Transforms a canvas coordinate to document coordinate.
*
* #param {Number} x the x coordinate in the canvas
* #param {Number} y the y coordinate in the canvas
*
* #returns {draw2d.geo.Point} the coordinate in relation to the document [0,0] position
*/
canvas.fromCanvasToDocumentCoordinate = $.proxy(function(x,y) {
return new draw2d.geo.Point(
((x*(1/this.zoomFactor)) + this.getAbsoluteX() - this.getScrollLeft()),
((y*(1/this.zoomFactor)) + this.getAbsoluteY() - this.getScrollTop()));
},canvas);"

slight modification of Vinícius Oliveira's answer worked for me:
canvas = new draw2d.Canvas("canvas_id");
canvas.fromDocumentToCanvasCoordinate = $.proxy(function(x, y) {
return new draw2d.geo.Point(
(x - this.getAbsoluteX() + $(document).scrollLeft())*this.zoomFactor,
(y - this.getAbsoluteY() + $(document).scrollTop())*this.zoomFactor);
},canvas);
canvas.fromCanvasToDocumentCoordinate = $.proxy(function(x,y) {
return new draw2d.geo.Point(
((x*(1/this.zoomFactor)) + this.getAbsoluteX() - $(document).scrollLeft()),
((y*(1/this.zoomFactor)) + this.getAbsoluteY() - $(document).scrollTop()));
},canvas);
I used scrollLeft() and scrollTop() instead of getScrollLeft() and getScrollTop(). Also I put $(document) instead of "this".

Resize multiple objects with JS considering rotate

I'm working on visual editor with objects and user interactions around like move, resize, rotate, etc...
I have resize and rotate functionality in place. Now I have implemented multi-select functionality when user select multiple objects and resize objects keeping the original proportion.
That functionality works very well, however not for rotated objects. I've created a simplified codepen example. Basically the question is - how to adjust resize() function to make sure it works well for rotated objects. To reproduce an issue just click on "Rotate" and then "Increase width & height" once or multiple times.
function resize(incrementX, incrementY, offsetX, offsetY) {
...
}
I'm not sure if this is a valid solution for your problem, but you can undo the rotation before resizing, and reset the rotation afterwards. Like this.
function resize(incrementX, incrementY, offsetX, offsetY) {
var old_r = objmultiple.r
rotate(-objmultiple.r)
var ratioX = (objmultiple.w + incrementX) / objmultiple.w;
var ratioY = (objmultiple.h + incrementY) / objmultiple.h;
objmultiple.x += offsetX;
objmultiple.y += offsetY;
objmultiple.w = objmultiple.w + incrementX;
objmultiple.h = objmultiple.h + incrementY;
[obj1, obj2].forEach(function(obj) {
obj.x = (obj.x - objmultiple.x + offsetX) * ratioX + objmultiple.x;
obj.y = (obj.y - objmultiple.y + offsetY) * ratioY + objmultiple.y;
obj.w *= ratioX;
obj.h *= ratioY;
});
rotate(old_r)
}

Find the Points of Intersection of a Circle with a Line in Javascript

I'm trying to animate a given element to go around a pre-defined radius and I'm having trouble getting the position of the element at a Y point given.
I'm trying to find each point with the circle equation, but I can only get one point out of the two possible ones.
In Javascript, I use Math.sqrt( Math.pow(radius, 2) - Math.pow(y, 2) , 2) to get the point. assuming the center of the of the circle is 0,0.
but then I need to translate it to pixels on the screen since there are no negative pixels in positions on the browser.
All the sizing is relative to the window. so the radius, for example, is 80% of the height of the window in my tests.
Also, I'm trying to calculate what the distance of the element between each frame should be for the duration, but I'm not using it yet because I try to fix the issue above first.
This is what I have(a cleaned up version):
let height = window.innerHeight * 0.8,
radius = height / 2,
circumferance = (radius * 2) * Math.PI,
container = document.getElementById('container'),
rotating = document.querySelector('.rotating'),
centerX = radius - (rotating.offsetWidth / 2),
centerY = radius - (rotating.offsetHeight / 2),
duration = 10,
stepDistance = circumferance / 16;
// Setting the dimensions of the container element.
container.style.height = height + 'px';
container.style.width = height + 'px';
// return positive X of any given Y.
function getXOffset(y) {
return Math.sqrt( Math.pow(radius, 2) - Math.pow(y, 2) , 2);
}
// Setting the position of the rotating element to the start.
rotating.style.top = 0 + 'px';
rotating.style.left = centerX + 'px';
setInterval(() => {
let top = parseInt(rotating.style.top),
y = radius - top;
rotating.style.top = (top + 1) + 'px';
rotating.style.left = (centerX + getXOffset(y)) + 'px';
}, 16);
Here is a fiddle with a bit more code for trying to get the right amount of distance between points for a smoother animation(currently needs fixing, but it doesn't bother me yet.)
https://jsfiddle.net/shock/1qcfvr4y/
Last note: I know that there might be other ways to do this with CSS, but I chose to use javascript for learning purposes.
Math.sqrt would only return the positive root. You'll have to account for the negative value based on the application. In this case, you need the positive x value during the 1st half of the cycle and negative during the 2nd half.
To do that, you should implement a method to track the progress and reverse the sign accordingly.
Here is a sample. I modified upon yours.
edit:
Instead of Math.sqrt( Math.pow(radius, 2) - Math.pow(y, 2) , 2) You can use the full formula to get x if you do not want to assume origin as center, which in this case is Math.sqrt( Math.pow(radius, 2) - Math.pow((actualY - centerY), 2) , 2)
explanation:
The original equation (x-a)² + (y'-b)² = r²
becomes x = √(r² - (y'-b)²) + a
Assuming .rotating box have 0 width and height.
The variable equivalents in your code are centerX = a, centerY = b.
By assuming origin as center you're basically doing a pre-calculation so that your y value becomes the equivalent of (y'-b). Hence x = √(r² - y²) + a is valid.
At initial state top = 0
i.e (y'-b) => height - centerY.
In your code y = radius => height/2.
Now (height - centerY) being equal to (height/2) is a side effect of your circle being bound by a square container whose height determines the y value.
In other words, when you use origin as center, you are taking the center offsets outside of circle equation and handling it separately. You could do the same thing by using the whole formula, that is, x = √(r² - (y'-b)²) + a

Rotating around a point gets closer and closer to it

I'm creating a web-application that's going to display 3D objects in a canvas. Now I came across this problem:
I am slowly rotating the camera around the scene so the 3D object can be looked at from all sides. For this I use this code (JavaScript):
var step = 0.1*Math.PI/180;
scene.camera.position.x = Math.cos(step) * (scene.camera.position.x - 0) - Math.sin(step) * (scene.camera.position.z - 0) + 0;
scene.camera.position.z = Math.sin(step) * (scene.camera.position.x - 0) + Math.cos(step) * (scene.camera.position.z - 0) + 0;
Those zeroes are the center of the scene, I leave them there in case we decide to use another base-origin.
This code will make the camera rotate around point 0,0, but it slowly gets closer and closer to it. Here are some screenshots to show you what it does:
There are no other parameters that have impact on the camera's position. I don't understand why it's doing this and what the problem could be.
I found what was causing this issue: I change the camera's X position, then I change the camera's Z position with the new value of it's X position. Because this will be different the origin no longer is relatively at the same position for both calculations.
This was easy to fix, just by storing them into two new variables and then assigning them
var posx = Math.cos(step) * (scene.camera.position.x - 0) - Math.sin(step) * (scene.camera.position.z - 0) + 0;
var posz = Math.sin(step) * (scene.camera.position.x - 0) + Math.cos(step) * (scene.camera.position.z - 0) + 0;
scene.camera.position.x = posx;
scene.camera.position.z = posz;

Zoom image to cursor breaks when mouse is moved

This is a followup question to How to zoom to mouse pointer while using my own mousewheel smoothscroll?
I am using css transforms to zoom an image to the mouse pointer. I am also using my own smooth scroll algorithm to interpolate and provide momentum to the mousewheel.
With Bali Balo's help in my previous question I have managed to get 90% of the way there.
You can now zoom the image all the way in to the mouse pointer while still having smooth scrolling as the following JSFiddle illustrates:
http://jsfiddle.net/qGGwx/7/
However, the functionality is broken when the mouse pointer is moved.
To further clarify, If I zoom in one notch on the mousewheel the image is zoomed around the correct position. This behavior continues for every notch I zoom in on the mousewheel, completely as intended. If however, after zooming part way in, I move the mouse to a different position, the functionality breaks and I have to zoom out completely in order to change the zoom position.
The intended behavior is for any changes in mouse position during the zooming process to be correctly reflected in the zoomed image.
The two main functions that control the current behavior are as follows:
self.container.on('mousewheel', function (e, delta) {
var offset = self.image.offset();
self.mouseLocation.x = (e.pageX - offset.left) / self.currentscale;
self.mouseLocation.y = (e.pageY - offset.top) / self.currentscale;
if (!self.running) {
self.running = true;
self.animateLoop();
}
self.delta = delta
self.smoothWheel(delta);
return false;
});
This function collects the current position of the mouse at the current scale of the zoomed image.
It then starts my smooth scroll algorithm which results in the next function being called for every interpolation:
zoom: function (scale) {
var self = this;
self.currentLocation.x += ((self.mouseLocation.x - self.currentLocation.x) / self.currentscale);
self.currentLocation.y += ((self.mouseLocation.y - self.currentLocation.y) / self.currentscale);
var compat = ['-moz-', '-webkit-', '-o-', '-ms-', ''];
var newCss = {};
for (var i = compat.length - 1; i; i--) {
newCss[compat[i] + 'transform'] = 'scale(' + scale + ')';
newCss[compat[i] + 'transform-origin'] = self.currentLocation.x + 'px ' + self.currentLocation.y + 'px';
}
self.image.css(newCss);
self.currentscale = scale;
},
This function takes the scale amount (1-10) and applies the css transforms, repositioning the image using transform-origin.
Although this works perfectly for a stationary mouse position chosen when the image is completely zoomed out; as stated above it breaks when the mouse cursor is moved after a partial zoom.
Huge thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Actually, not too complicated. You just need to separate the mouse location updating logic from the zoom updating logic. Check out my fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/qGGwx/41/
All I have done here is add a 'mousemove' listener on the container, and put the self.mouseLocation updating logic in there. Since it is no longer required, I also took out the mouseLocation updating logic from the 'mousewheel' handler. The animation code stays the same, as does the decision of when to start/stop the animation loop.
here's the code:
self.container.on('mousewheel', function (e, delta) {
if (!self.running) {
self.running = true;
self.animateLoop();
}
self.delta = delta
self.smoothWheel(delta);
return false;
});
self.container.on('mousemove', function (e) {
var offset = self.image.offset();
self.mouseLocation.x = (e.pageX - offset.left) / self.currentscale;
self.mouseLocation.y = (e.pageY - offset.top) / self.currentscale;
});
Before you check this fiddle out; I should mention:
First of all, within your .zoom() method; you shouldn't divide by currentscale:
self.currentLocation.x += ((self.mouseLocation.x - self.currentLocation.x) / self.currentscale);
self.currentLocation.y += ((self.mouseLocation.y - self.currentLocation.y) / self.currentscale);
because; you already use that factor when calculating the mouseLocation inside the initmousewheel() method like this:
self.mouseLocation.x = (e.pageX - offset.left) / self.currentscale;
self.mouseLocation.y = (e.pageY - offset.top) / self.currentscale;
So instead; (in the .zoom() method), you should:
self.currentLocation.x += (self.mouseLocation.x - self.currentLocation.x);
self.currentLocation.y += (self.mouseLocation.y - self.currentLocation.y);
But (for example) a += b - a will always produce b so the code above equals to:
self.currentLocation.x = self.mouseLocation.x;
self.currentLocation.y = self.mouseLocation.y;
in short:
self.currentLocation = self.mouseLocation;
Then, it seems you don't even need self.currentLocation. (2 variables for the same value). So why not use mouseLocation variable in the line where you set the transform-origin instead and get rid of currentLocation variable?
newCss[compat[i] + 'transform-origin'] = self.mouseLocation.x + 'px ' + self.mouseLocation.y + 'px';
Secondly, you should include a mousemove event listener within the initmousewheel() method (just like other devs here suggest) but it should update the transform continuously, not just when the user wheels. Otherwise the tip of the pointer will never catch up while you're zooming out on "any" random point.
self.container.on('mousemove', function (e) {
var offset = self.image.offset();
self.mouseLocation.x = (e.pageX - offset.left) / self.currentscale;
self.mouseLocation.y = (e.pageY - offset.top) / self.currentscale;
self.zoom(self.currentscale);
});
So; you wouldn't need to calculate this anymore within the mousewheel event handler so, your initmousewheel() method would look like this:
initmousewheel: function () {
var self = this;
self.container.on('mousewheel', function (e, delta) {
if (!self.running) {
self.running = true;
self.animateLoop();
}
self.delta = delta;
self.smoothWheel(delta);
return false;
});
self.container.on('mousemove', function (e) {
var offset = self.image.offset();
self.mouseLocation.x = (e.pageX - offset.left) / self.currentscale;
self.mouseLocation.y = (e.pageY - offset.top) / self.currentscale;
self.zoom(self.currentscale); // <--- update transform origin dynamically
});
}
One Issue:
This solution works as expected but with a small issue. When the user moves the mouse in regular or fast speed; the mousemove event seems to miss the final position (tested in Chrome). So the zooming will be a little off the pointer location. Otherwise, when you move the mouse slowly, it gets the exact point. It should be easy to workaround this though.
Other Notes and Suggestions:
You have a duplicate property (prevscale).
I suggest you always use JSLint or JSHint (which is available on
jsFiddle too) to validate your code.
I highly suggest you to use closures (often refered to as Immediately Invoked Function Expression (IIFE)) to avoid the global scope when possible; and hide your internal/private properties and methods.
Add a mousemover method and call it in the init method:
mousemover: function() {
var self = this;
self.container.on('mousemove', function (e) {
var offset = self.image.offset();
self.mouseLocation.x = (e.pageX - offset.left) / self.currentscale;
self.mouseLocation.y = (e.pageY - offset.top) / self.currentscale;
self.zoom(self.currentscale);
});
},
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/powtac/qGGwx/34/
Zoom point is not exactly right because of scaling of an image (0.9 in ratio). In fact mouse are pointing in particular point in container but we scale image. See this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/qGGwx/99/ I add marker with position equal to transform-origin. As you can see if image size is equal to container size there is no issue. You need this scaling? Maybe you can add second container? In fiddle I also added condition in mousemove
if(self.running && self.currentscale>1 && self.currentscale != self.lastscale) return;
That is preventing from moving image during zooming but also create an issue. You can't change zooming point if zoom is still running.
Extending #jordancpaul's answer I have added a constant mouse_coord_weight which gets multiplied to delta of the mouse coordinates. This is aimed at making the zoom transition less responsive to the change in mouse coordinates. Check it out http://jsfiddle.net/7dWrw/
I have rewritten the onmousemove event hander as:
self.container.on('mousemove', function (e) {
var offset = self.image.offset();
console.log(offset);
var x = (e.pageX - offset.left) / self.currentscale,
y = (e.pageY - offset.top) / self.currentscale;
if(self.running) {
self.mouseLocation.x += (x - self.mouseLocation.x) * self.mouse_coord_weight;
self.mouseLocation.y += (y - self.mouseLocation.y) * self.mouse_coord_weight;
} else {
self.mouseLocation.x = x;
self.mouseLocation.y = y;
}
});

How to keep track of a position no matter what screen size is?

I'm trying to make a widget that selects an area in the page using JavaScript but the issue is that when it saves the X/Y and Width/Height, it's actually only relevant to that screen size, so if we try to draw that selection on another user's computer, it'll go off the correct position.
On what to rely and how to keep track of an x and y position no matter what the user's screen size is?
obj.offsetLeft and obj.offsetTop will always be relative to the top/left corner which is 0,0.
Center x = window.innerWidth / 2;
Center y = window.innerHeight / 2;
Object width = elementNode.offsetWidth;
Object height = elementNode.offsetHeight;
Position the object in the middle of the screen:
el = document.getElementById('my_div');
el.style.position = 'absolute';
el.style.left = Math.floor((window.innerWidth / 2) - (el.offsetWidth / 2)) + 'px';
el.style.top = Math.floor((window.innerHeight / 2) - (el.offsetHeight / 2)) + 'px';
