PIXI JS - I want to change Width/height and Position of Rectangle with Mouse

var rectangle = new Graphics();
rectangle.beginFill(0, 0.001);
rectangle.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000);
rectangle.drawRect(5, 5, 200, 100);
rectangle.interactive = true;
rectangle.buttonMode = true;
rectangle.on('pointerdown', onDragStart)
.on('pointerup', onDragEnd)
.on('pointerupoutside', onDragEnd)
.on('pointermove', onDragMove);
app.viewport.addChild(rectangle);
I'm using this code to create a rectangle and adding it to rectangle. This is the onDragMove Function
function onDragMove() {
if (this.dragging) {
const newPosition = this.data.getLocalPosition(this.parent);
this.width = newPosition.x;
this.height = newPosition.y;
}
}
This is basically changing its width and height, but I also want to Drag the Rectangle when clicked inside the rectangle and dragged on the screen. Any suggestions how can I achieve this?
Borders to change width/height
clicking inside rectangle to drag on the screen.

I created working example of dragging and resizing: https://www.pixiplayground.com/#/edit/SbpTjm7WKXbL51kmiG89W - please check.
when you click near bottom border of rectangle (+/- 20 px) then you will start resizing it.
when you click in any other place inside rectangle then you will drag it
Basing on this example i think you can implement resizing of other borders of rectangle etc :)
One note: please look at function drawRectangle :
function drawRectangle(rectangle)
{
rectangle.clear();
rectangle.beginFill(0, 0.001);
rectangle.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000);
rectangle.drawRect(rectangle.myRectanglePosition[0], rectangle.myRectanglePosition[1], rectangle.myRectanglePosition[2], rectangle.myRectanglePosition[3]);
}
^ the rectangle.clear(); is called to redraw the PIXI.Graphics object. So on each frame we clear and draw it again on specific position with specific width & height.

Snap.svg and dynamic text

I'm trying to place text dynamically into an svg created by Snap, this is what I tried:
this.setContent(
`<svg id="${this.svgId}"></svg>`
);
var snap = Snap($(`#${this.svgId}`)[0]);
text = "asdfsdfsdsfd";
var rect = snap.paper.rect(0, 0, 50, text.length*3 + 4, 10);
snap.text(1.5,10, text);
console.log("rect", rect);
console.log("snap", snap);
rect.attr({
fill: "#FFFFFF",
fillOpacity: 0.6,
});
I get this:
I want the rectangle to be just a little bigger than the text, but there must be a better way to do it than to calculate the length and height of the text, and that's assuming the font size won't change.
This is the only result I found regarding text in the snap docs: http://snapsvg.io/docs/#Paper.text

You could try using getBBox() on the text element, and use that to figure the size of the rect. getBBox() wll give you the x,y,width,height,x2,y2 figures to help.
var text = s.text(0,0,'blah blah')
var bb = text.getBBox();
var rect = s.rect(bb.x, bb.y, bb.width, bb.height )
Adjusting with offsets for whatever padding etc that you want. You may also need to allow for stroke widths, as I don't think that's included.

Cannot set dimensions for a resizable donut chart

I'm using kendo-ui to draw a donut chart like in this example
but I want it to resize when the container div resizes.
Not trouble if you don't set size or sizeHole since it ill automatic scale to fit the div.
Now I want my donut to be thin (outter radius slight greater than inner radius).
If I try to set the size to 25 pixels the donut now don't fills all my div and wort only the sizeHole resizes.
seriesDefaults: {
type: "donut",
size: 25,
...
If I try to set the sizehole to 250 it ill no more resizes
seriesDefaults: {
type: "donut",
sizeHole: 250,
...
If I try to set both attibutes ill affect each other and at the donut don't resizes at all
What I really need is to fix the donut dimensions to some % of the container, lets say size to 50% and sizeHole to 5% and let user drag/rezise the browser and keep the size/sizeHole/Container size aspect ratio.
I tried something using
$(window).resize(Resize(element));
...
function Resize(element) {
var minContainerSize = element[0].clientHeight;
if (minContainerSize > element[0].clientWidth || minContainerSize == 0)
minContainerSize = element[0].clientwidth;
return function () {
var chart = element.data("kendoChart");
var pieSeries = chart.options.seriesDefaults;
pieSeries.size = minContainerSize * 0.13;
//pieSeries.holeSize = minContainerSize * 0.299;
chart.refresh();
}
};
But it not worked out since I ill need to get the container size AFTER the resize event ends to get the new container size.
I can try to implement something like this after resize solution
but code is turning in a mess fast.
There's any nice (unknow for me) property to simple set the donut "thickness" in as percentual or proportional to the whole size (in a way it keeps resizing) or any workaroud not involving setTimeout?

I think you should be using holeSize not sizeHole.

SVG: Scale one element of group from specified anchor point

OK, so I have a group of four elements rotating 90 degrees as I want them to, around an origin point in the middle of the four elements.
I would like to scale the top left block before and after spinning as well, outward from said origin point, but I'm having much difficulty doing so.
Here is a fiddle for my sample (read: overly simplified) progress so far:
http://jsfiddle.net/Vac2Q/2843/
The fiddle's javascript:
/* create an svg drawing */
var draw = SVG('drawing')
/* draw rectangle */
var dial = draw.circle(60)
.move(125,125)
.fill('#0099ff')
var rect_yellow = draw.rect(50,50)
.move(100,100)
.fill('gold')
var rect_blue = draw.rect(50,50)
.move(160,100)
.fill('navy')
var rect_black = draw.rect(50,50)
.move(160,160)
.fill('black')
var rect_green = draw.rect(50,50)
.move(100,160)
.fill('green')
var blades = draw.group()
.add(rect_yellow)
.add(rect_blue)
.add(rect_black)
.add(rect_green)
.back()
var angle = 0
var rotation = 90
var spin = document.getElementById('spin')
var spun = 0
/* make rectangle jump and change color on mouse over */
spin.addEventListener('click', function() {
/* calculate new ending orientation for blades */
angle += rotation
var new_rotate = angle
/* rotate the blade group */
blades.animate(1000, '>')
.rotate(new_rotate, 155, 155)
++spun
})
And here is a slightly more glamorous example of what I'm trying to do re: scaling:
The first issue is being able to determine which blade is in the top left position after a given rotation. The second issue is scaling itself; I've gotten the blade to scale, but then it goes crazy and moves off the screen at the same time. I'm not sure how to get it to scale properly from the specified origin point (the middle of the center circle).

You can use the .after() function to chain animations.
I'm not sure if I am using svg.js correctly, but here's what I did:
var rects = [rect_yellow, rect_green, rect_black, rect_blue];
// define the animations
var enlarge_blade = function() {
rects[spun % 4].animate(250, '<')
.scale(1.25, 1.25)
.translate(-38,-38);
};
function spin_anim() {
rects[spun % 4].animate(250, '>')
.scale(1, 1)
.translate(0,0)
.after(rotate_blades);
};
var rotate_blades = function() {
blades.animate(1000, '>')
.rotate(angle, 155, 155)
.after(function() {
++spun;
enlarge_blade();
title.text('spun ' + spun + ' times');
});
};
// Pre-enlarge the first (yellow) rect
enlarge_blade();
/* make rectangle jump and change color on mouse over */
spin.addEventListener('click', function() {
angle += rotation
spin_anim();
})
Demo here

I see you're using svg.js. I don't know how it treats transforms internally. But in any case. To scale an element, you typically use its center point as a reference. Therefore you should find the center point of each rect and scale it using that point. (I assume svg.js performs the required translation internally).

Raphael.js centered text on path

What I have:
Text along a path made out of circle. It uses Raphael.js and a function called textOnPath (found here: Raphael JS Text Along path ):
var pathTest = r.path(getCircletoPath(286, 322, radius)).attr({stroke:"#b9b9b9"});
textOnPath(message, pathTest, fontSize, fontSpacing, kerning, kerning, point, textFill, fontNormal, fontFamily);
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zorza/62hDH/1/
What I need:
The text to be centered on top of the circle.
My approach:
Try to calculate where the text should start depending on the arc size and text width. I tried to calculate the text width by creating it's invisible clone with text() function and get it's BBox width.
It doesn't quite work and the results vary depending on the web browser, font used and number of letters and spaces:
var length = r.text(100,400,message)
.attr({"font-size":fontSize,'opacity': 0, 'font-family': fontFamily})
.getBBox()
.width;
var point = (Math.PI*radius - length*fontSpacing)/2;
JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zorza/k8vBy/3/
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

The easiest way, IMHO, is to create additional helper path that is raised by half of text size. http://jsfiddle.net/p84VQ/
Also, I find it a bit more convenient to define a circle and then get points at specified angle:
var Circle = function(cx, cy, r) {
return function (a) {
return {
x: cx + r*Math.sin(Math.PI*-a/180),
y: cy - r*Math.cos(Math.PI*-a/180)
}
}
};
