I need to implement an eyedropper tool. I want it so you click the eyedropper button to make it active, then using a onmove it will change the colour of my colour picker and when you click using onclick it will set the colour to the colour picker using:
$('#colorpickerHolder').ColorPickerSetColor(eyeDropperColour);
The variable eyeDropperColour would be set using the onlick based on what colour pixel you are over. I am wondering would I have to do it based on what layer as I have: canvas and canvasCursor.
I have been looking at this guide but I can't make it work for my project? http://palebluepixel.org/2011/11/16/html5-canvas-eyedropper/
Here is my project:
http://www.taffatech.com/Paint.html
I have:
var eyeDropperActive = false;
var eyeDropperColour;
and:
$("#brushEyeDropper").click(function() {
if ( eyeDropperActive == true)
{
eyeDropperActive = false;
}
else if ( eyeDropperActive == false)
{
eyeDropperActive = true;
}
});
Creating a canvas “eyedropper” tool
This is how to read the pixel color at any X/Y on the canvas:
function getPixelColor(x, y) {
var pxData = ctx.getImageData(x,y,1,1);
return("rgb("+pxData.data[0]+","+pxData.data[1]+","+pxData.data[2]+")");
}
The rest is just controlling when to accept the color with a click on the canvas.
var eyedropperIsActive=false;
// Activate reading pixel colors when a #startDropper button is clicked
$("#startDropper").click(function(e){eyedropperIsActive=true;});
// if the tool is active, report the color under the mouse
$("#canvas").mousemove(function(e){handleMouseMove(e);});
// when the user clicks on the canvas, turn off the tool
// (the last color will remain selected)
$("#canvas").click(function(e){eyedropperIsActive=false;});
And here is the mousemove event handler that calls getPixelColor and reports that color
// if the tool is active, report any color under the mouse
function handleMouseMove(e){
if(!eyedropperIsActive){return;}
mouseX=parseInt(e.clientX-offsetX);
mouseY=parseInt(e.clientY-offsetY);
// Put your mousemove stuff here
var eyedropColor=getPixelColor(mouseX,mouseY);
$("#results").css("backgroundColor",getPixelColor(mouseX,mouseY));
}

I'm trying to build a sort of generator which lets you put text over an image. Now it's all working great, but i'm trying to create some thumbnails which let me change the background image of the canvas.
Now this is my first attempt with a canvas and i've tried alot of things, but the closest i've come and where i thought my little piece of code would work was, it's given me 0 errors:
function testbackgroundchange() {
img.src = "background_1.jpg";
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
document.getElementById('scale').value = 1;
document.getElementById('rotate').value = 0;
x = canvas.width/2 - img.width/2;
y = canvas.height/2 - img.height/2;
ctx.drawImage(img,x,y);
imgTransform();
}
So what i'm trying to here is onclick of a thumbnail, change the background image of the canvas.
I've added an JSFiddle for better understanding of the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/29M7P/1/
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great. (sorry i'm a beginner)
You can listen for clicks on your thumbnails with thumbnail.onclick
img1.onclick=function(){changeImage(this);};
img2.onclick=function(){changeImage(this);};
And you can change the canvas image like this:
function changeImage(img){
ctx.clearRect(0,0,cw,ch);
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
}

Like the standard paint program in windows, I'm trying to create a very basic sketch canvas program where the the user can select a ruler tool to draw with on the canvas. How do I achieve this?
I'm quite a beginner so I'd appreciate if the answer is as simple as possible...
Thanks!!
You can use 2 overlapping canvases wrapped in a container div.
Then draw your ruler marks on the bottom canvas.

If I may suggest you could use my easyCanvas library. It's a library that wraps around standard canvas and let you use it as ordinary but adds some handy functionality (GPL3).
If this is an option you could create what you need simply by doing this assumimg the easyCanvas script is already included:
var ez = new easyCanvas();
// enable background handling when drawing
ez.autoClear = true;
// mouse down/up is handled internally so all we need to draw the line
ez.onmousemove = function(e) {
ez1.line(ez.firstX, ez.firstY, e.x, e.y);
}
(you can use an existing canvas element as well - this will create a canvas that covers the window and auto-resizes it when window size changes, please see documentation for the details).
Update: easyCanvas is now legacy and is located at GitHub to avoid link-rot.
I am an intermediate in javascript. I am making an app for children .. I am developing in it HTML5/javascript. My app motive is to select the letter and practice them by sketching the outline of letters..
Here is my app design in below picture
In the app I want to select the color of the required one from the colour given in pencil and paint in the outline of A. and I have to erase with the eraser given..
I had almost finished the app except the colouring part..
Please anyone help and guide me how to do this..
I just want to know how to make this to colour outline by selecting the colours.. if there any code available or demo available please tell me about that.
Experts shed light on this problem
[Revised answer based on changed request]
Here’s how to let the child draw anywhere within a bounding box around the letter
First, define the area that the drawing will be restricted to.
Any drag-draws outside the drawable area won't be visible.
// define the drawable area
var minX=60;
var maxX=250;
var minY=140;
var maxY=380;
Then in mousemove, draw only if the mouse is inside that drawable area:
if(mouseX>minX && mouseX<maxX && mouseY>minY && mouseY<maxY){
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(startX,startY);
ctx.lineTo(mouseX,mouseY);
ctx.stroke();
}

How to draw lines on a canvas in a selected color
Here is some code for you to start with.
The important points are:
Mousedown starts a line and sets it beginning point
Mouseup ends a line and sets its endpoint. This is a permanent line.
Mousemove draws a temporary line until the user releases the mouse.
All permanent lines must be redrawn when a temporary line is being drawn because the canvas must be erased to create the “moving” temporary line.
Html canvas draws a line using it's context like this:
function drawLine(line){
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(line.x1,line.y1);
ctx.lineTo(line.x2,line.y2);
ctx.stroke();
}
To set/change the line color, you set the context's strokeStyle:
context.strokeStyle="blue";
To erase all drawings on the canvas, you use context's clearRect:
context.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
If you're not used to specifying hit zones, it's pretty simple.
Specify a bounding box (top-left and bottom-right) of the area you might hit (eg. the blue crayon)
Then if the mouse clicks inside that bounding box, you have a hit.
The canvas is layered over the game image and all lines are being drawn on the canvas, not the image.
The rest is just straightforward javascript stuff.

Is it possible to implement the paint text feature in javascript on a canvas?
A text button say "A" ,on click of this like in paint one should be able to draw a text box on canvas wherever the user clicked mouse.Also should be able to type text init.Also should be able to move this text box anywhere on the canvas.
Any suggestion/solution is appreciable.
Thanks.
This basic framework should get you started.
This code allows the user to enter their text.
Then they click on the canvas and their text is drawn at the mouse position.
Of course, you will want to take it from here to design it to fit your needs.
