How do I find the position of an element in raphael? - javascript

I am using raphael to animate a ball and need to find out the position after stopping the animation, here is the code I have:
ball.stop();
console.log(ball.attrs.transform);
// t399.6625490203161,180r180
how do I convert this string into the x,y position of the ball?

You can use Element.getBBox for this:
var x = ball.getBBox().x;
var y = ball.getBBox().y;
var r = ball.getBBox().height / 2;
console.log(x, y, r);
But beware:
The coordinates (element.getBBox().x, element.getBBox().y) will refer to the upper left corner of the bounding box.
If the ball is a circle, that point will not even be contained in the circle and it might be more sensible to work with the coordinates of the center.
Given the bounding box bbox, to those would be
var x = bbox.x + bbox.width / 2,
y = bbox.y + bbox.height / 2;

Rotating One Object Around Another In createJS/easelJS

In easelJS, what is the best way to rotate an object around another? What I'm trying to accomplish is a method to rotate the crosshair around the circle pictured below, just like a planet orbits the sun:
I've been able to rotate objects around their own center point, but am having a difficult time devising a way to rotate one object around the center point of a second object. Any ideas?
Might make sense to wrap content in a Container. Translate the coordinates so the center point is where you want it, and then rotate the container.
To build on what Lanny is suggesting, there may be cases where you don't want to rotate the entire container. An alternative would be to use trigonometric functions and an incrementing angle to calculate the x/y position of the crosshair. You can find the x/y by using an angle (converted to radians) and Math.cos(angleInRadians) for x and Math.sin(angleInRadians) for y, the multiply by the radius of the orbit.
See this working example for reference.
Here's a complete snippet.
var stage = new createjs.Stage("stage");
var angle = 0;
var circle = new createjs.Shape();
circle.graphics.beginFill("#FF0000").drawEllipse(-25, -25, 50, 50).endFill();
circle.x = 100;
circle.y = 100;
var crosshair = new createjs.Shape();
crosshair.graphics.setStrokeStyle(2).beginStroke("#FF0000").moveTo(5, 0).lineTo(5, 10).moveTo(0, 5).lineTo(10, 5).endStroke();
stage.addChild(circle);
stage.addChild(crosshair);
createjs.Ticker.addEventListener("tick", function(){
angle++;
if(angle > 360)
angle = 1;
var rads = angle * Math.PI / 180;
var x = 100 * Math.cos(rads);
var y = 100 * Math.sin(rads);
crosshair.x = x + 100;
crosshair.y = y + 100;
stage.update();
});
Put another point respect to origin point with the same direction
var one_meter = 1 / map_resolution;
// get one meter distance from pointed points
var extra_x = one_meter * Math.cos(temp_rotation);
var extra_y = one_meter * Math.sin(-temp_rotation);
var new_x = mapXY.x + extra_x;
var new_y = mapXY.y + extra_y;
var home_point = new createjs.Shape().set({ x: new_x, y: new_y });
home_point.graphics.beginFill("Blue").drawCircle(0, 0, 10);
stage.addChild(home_point);
stage.update();

Find new left and top corresponding to original left and top on CSS rotate

Suppose my div has left:200px and top:400px, after I apply a rotate transform of suppose 90 deg the above top and left positions no more point to the old positions. Now how can we calculate the new top and left for the transformed div which are equivalent to the left and top positions of the non-transformed div after rotation.
Edited answer
Besides the starting position of the corner point (top-left in your example), and the rotation angle, we also need to know the position of the reference point of the rotation. This is the point around which we rotate the div (CSS calls it transform-origin). If you don't specify it, then normally, the centre of mass of the element is used.
I don't know of any JavaScript method that simply calculates it for you, but I can show you its Math, and a simple JS implementation.
Math
P: original position of the corner point, with (Px, Py) coordinates
O: reference point of the rotation, with (Ox, Oy) coordinates
Calculate the original position of P, relative to O.
x = Px - Ox
y = Py - Oy
Calculate the rotated position of P, relative to O.
x' = x * cos(angle) - y * sin(angle)
y' = x * sin(angle) + y * cos(angle)
Convert this position back to the original coordinate system.
Px' = x' + Ox
Py' = y' + Oy
If you're not aware of the formulas in step #2, you can find an explanation here.
JavaScript implementation
function rotatedPosition(pLeft, pTop, oLeft, oTop, angle){
// 1
var x = pLeft - oLeft;
var y = pTop - oTop;
// 2
var xRot = x * Math.cos(angle) - y * Math.sin(angle);
var yRot = x * Math.sin(angle) + y * Math.cos(angle);
// 3
var pLeftRot = xRot + oLeft;
var pTopRot = yRot + oTop
return {left: pLeftRot, top: pTopRot};
}
rotatedPosition requires you to define the original position of the point and the reference point, plus the angle.
In case you need a method which takes only a single argument, the div element itself, and computes the rest for you, then you can do something like:
function divTopLeftRotatedPosition(div){
var pLeft = // ...
var pTop = // ...
var width = // ...
var height = // ...
var angle = // ...
return rotatedPosition(pLeft, pTop, pLeft + width / 2, pTop + height / 2, angle);
}

Calculate the bounding box's X, Y, Height and Width of a rotated element via JavaScript

Basically I'm asking this question for JavaScript: Calculate Bounding box coordinates from a rotated rectangle
In this case:
iX = Width of rotated (blue) HTML element
iY = Height of rotated (blue) HTML element
bx = Width of Bounding Box (red)
by = Height of Bounding Box (red)
x = X coord of Bounding Box (red)
y = Y coord of Bounding Box (red)
iAngle/t = Angle of rotation of HTML element (blue; not shown but
used in code below), FYI: It's 37 degrees in this example (not that it matters for the example)
How does one calculate the X, Y, Height and Width of a bounding box (all the red numbers) surrounding a rotated HTML element (given its width, height, and Angle of rotation) via JavaScript? A sticky bit to this will be getting the rotated HTML element (blue box)'s original X/Y coords to use as an offset somehow (this is not represented in the code below). This may well have to look at CSS3's transform-origin to determine the center point.
I've got a partial solution, but the calculation of the X/Y coords is not functioning properly...
var boundingBox = function (iX, iY, iAngle) {
var x, y, bx, by, t;
//# Allow for negetive iAngle's that rotate counter clockwise while always ensuring iAngle's < 360
t = ((iAngle < 0 ? 360 - iAngle : iAngle) % 360);
//# Calculate the width (bx) and height (by) of the .boundingBox
//# NOTE: See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3231176/how-to-get-size-of-a-rotated-rectangle
bx = (iX * Math.sin(iAngle) + iY * Math.cos(iAngle));
by = (iX * Math.cos(iAngle) + iY * Math.sin(iAngle));
//# This part is wrong, as it's re-calculating the iX/iY of the rotated element (blue)
//# we want the x/y of the bounding box (red)
//# NOTE: See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9971230/calculate-rotated-rectangle-size-from-known-bounding-box-coordinates
x = (1 / (Math.pow(Math.cos(t), 2) - Math.pow(Math.sin(t), 2))) * (bx * Math.cos(t) - by * Math.sin(t));
y = (1 / (Math.pow(Math.cos(t), 2) - Math.pow(Math.sin(t), 2))) * (-bx * Math.sin(t) + by * Math.cos(t));
//# Return an object to the caller representing the x/y and width/height of the calculated .boundingBox
return {
x: parseInt(x), width: parseInt(bx),
y: parseInt(y), height: parseInt(by)
}
};
I feel like I am so close, and yet so far...
Many thanks for any help you can provide!
TO HELP THE NON-JAVASCRIPTERS...
Once the HTML element is rotated, the browser returns a "matrix transform" or "rotation matrix" which seems to be this: rotate(Xdeg) = matrix(cos(X), sin(X), -sin(X), cos(X), 0, 0); See this page for more info.
I have a feeling this will enlighten us on how to get the X,Y of the bounding box (red) based solely on the Width, Height and Angle of the rotated element (blue).
New Info
Humm... interesting...
Each browser seems to handle the rotation differently from an X/Y perspective! FF ignores it completely, IE & Opera draw the bounding box (but its properties are not exposed, ie: bx & by) and Chrome & Safari rotate the rectangle! All are properly reporting the X/Y except FF. So... the X/Y issue seems to exist for FF only! How very odd!
Also of note, it seems that $(document).ready(function () {...}); fires too early for the rotated X/Y to be recognized (which was part of my original problem!). I am rotating the elements directly before the X/Y interrogation calls in $(document).ready(function () {...}); but they don't seem to update until some time after(!?).
When I get a little more time, I will toss up a jFiddle with the example, but I'm using a modified form of "jquery-css-transform.js" so I have a tiny bit of tinkering before the jFiddle...
So... what's up, FireFox? That ain't cool, man!
The Plot Thickens...
Well, FF12 seems to fix the issue with FF11, and now acts like IE and Opera. But now I am back to square one with the X/Y, but at least I think I know why now...
It seems that even though the X/Y is being reported correctly by the browsers for the rotated object, a "ghost" X/Y still exists on the un-rotated version. It seems as though this is the order of operations:
Starting with an un-rotated element at an X,Y of 20,20
Rotate said element, resulting in the reporting of X,Y as 15,35
Move said element via JavaScript/CSS to X,Y 10,10
Browser logically un-rotates element back to 20,20, moves to 10,10 then re-rotates, resulting in an X,Y of 5,25
So... I want the element to end up at 10,10 post rotation, but thanks to the fact that the element is (seemingly) re-rotated post move, the resulting X,Y differs from the set X,Y.
This is my problem! So what I really need is a function to take the desired destination coords (10,10), and work backwards from there to get the starting X,Y coords that will result in the element being rotated into 10,10. At least I know what my problem is now, as thanks to the inner workings of the browsers, it seems with a rotated element 10=5!
I know this is a bit late, but I've written a fiddle for exactly this problem, on an HTML5 canvas:
http://jsfiddle.net/oscarpalacious/ZdQKg/
I hope somebody finds it useful!
I'm actually not calculating your x,y for the upper left corner of the container. It's calculated as a result of the offset (code from the fiddle example):
this.w = Math.sin(this.angulo) * rotador.h + Math.cos(this.angulo) * rotador.w;
this.h = Math.sin(this.angulo) * rotador.w + Math.cos(this.angulo) * rotador.h;
// The offset on a canvas for the upper left corner (x, y) is
// given by the first two parameters for the rect() method:
contexto.rect(-(this.w/2), -(this.h/2), this.w, this.h);
Cheers
Have you tried using getBoundingClientRect() ?
This method returns an object with current values of "bottom, height, left, right, top, width" considering rotations
Turn the four corners into vectors from the center, rotate them, and get the new min/max width/height from them.
EDIT:
I see where you're having problems now. You're doing the calculations using the entire side when you need to be doing them with the offsets from the center of rotation. Yes, this results in four rotated points (which, strangely enough, is exactly as many points as you started with). Between them there will be one minimum X, one maximum X, one minimum Y, and one maximum Y. Those are your bounds.

Get new x,y coordinates of a point in a rotated image

I have Google Maps icons which I need to rotate by certain angles before drawing on the map using MarkerImage. I do the rotation on-the-fly in Python using PIL, and the resulting image is of the same size as the original - 32x32. For example, with the following default Google Maps marker:
, a 30 degrees conter-clockwise rotation is achieved using the following python code:
# full_src is a variable holding the full path to image
# rotated is a variable holding the full path to where the rotated image is saved
image = Image.open(full_src)
png_info = image.info
image = image.copy()
image = image.rotate(30, resample=Image.BICUBIC)
image.save(rotated, **png_info)
The resulting image is
The tricky bit is getting the new anchor point to use when creating the MarkerImage using the new rotated image. This needs to be the pointy end of the icon. By default, the anchor point is the bottom middle [defined as (16,32) in x,y coordinates where (0,0) is the top left corner]. Can someone please explain to me how I can easily go about this in JavaScript?
Thanks.
Update 22 Jun 2011:
Had posted the wrong rotated image (original one was for 330 degrees counter-clockwise). I've corrected that. Also added resampling (Image.BICUBIC) which makes the rotated icon clearer.
To calculate the position of a rotated point you can use a rotation matrix.
Converted into JavaScript, this calculates the rotated point:
function rotate(x, y, xm, ym, a) {
var cos = Math.cos,
sin = Math.sin,
a = a * Math.PI / 180, // Convert to radians because that is what
// JavaScript likes
// Subtract midpoints, so that midpoint is translated to origin
// and add it in the end again
xr = (x - xm) * cos(a) - (y - ym) * sin(a) + xm,
yr = (x - xm) * sin(a) + (y - ym) * cos(a) + ym;
return [xr, yr];
}
rotate(16, 32, 16, 16, 30); // [8, 29.856...]
The formula for rotations about 0,0 is:
x1 = cos(theta) x0 - sin(theta) y0
y1 = sin(theta) x0 + cos(theta) y0
But that's for regular axes, and rotation about 0,0. The PIL rotation is clockwise with "graphics" axes. Plus, it's around the center of the image. The final confusing thing is that the size of the image can change, which needs to be accounted for in the final result.
Procedure: take original point, subtract off center of image, apply "graphics axes" corrected rotation, find new size of image, add back center position of new image.
Rotation using graphics axes is:
x1 = cos(theta) x0 + sin(theta) y0
y1 = -sin(theta) x0 + cos(theta) y0
16,32 - 16,16 is 0, 16. Rotate 30 degrees clockwise rotation (based on your images) gives a point cos(-30)*0+sin(-30)*16, -sin(-30)*0+cos(-30)*16 = -8, 13.86. The final step is adding back the center position of the rotated position.
In an image, downwards is positive Y and rightwards is positive X. However, to apply the rotation formula, we need upwards as positive Y. Therefore, step 1 would be to apply f(x,y) = f(x,h-y), where 'h' is the height of the image.
Let's say the image is rotated with respect to x0,y0. You'd then need to transform your origin to this point. Therefore, step 2 would be f(x,y) = f(x-x0,y-y0). At this stage (i.e. after the two steps), your new co-ordinates would be x-x0, h-y-y0. You're now ready to apply the rotation formula
x1 = x*cos(theta) - y*sin(theta)
y1 = xsin(theta) + ycos(theta)
Use the values of x and y obtained after step two.
You'd get
x1 = (x-x0)*cos(theta) - (h-y-y0)*sin(theta)
y1 = (x-x0)*sin(theta) + (h-y-y0)*cos(theta)
Now, undo transformations done in step 2 and step 1 (in that order).
After undoing step2: xNew = x1 + x0 and yNew = y1 + y0
After undoing step1: xNew = x1 + x0 and yNew = h - (y1 + y0)
This gives you:
xNew = (x-x0)*cos(theta) - (h-y-y0)*sin(theta) + x0
yNew = -(x-x0)*sin(theta) - (h-y-y0)*cos(theta) + (h-y0)

Raphael SVG VML Implement Multi Pivot Points for Rotation

Over the last two days I've effectively figured out how NOT to rotate Raphael Elements.
Basically I am trying to implement a multiple pivot points on element to rotate it by mouse.
When a user enters rotation mode 5 pivots are created. One for each corner of the bounding box and one in the center of the box.
When the mouse is down and moving it is simple enough to rotate around the pivot using Raphael elements.rotate(degrees, x, y) and calculating the degrees based on the mouse positions and atan2 to the pivot point.
The problem arises after I've rotated the element, bbox, and the other pivots. There x,y position in the same only there viewport is different.
In an SVG enabled browser I can create new pivot points based on matrixTransformation and getCTM. However after creating the first set of new pivots, every rotation after the pivots get further away from the transformed bbox due to rounding errors.
The above is not even an option in IE since in is VML based and cannot account for transformation.
Is the only effective way to implement
element rotation is by using rotate
absolute or rotating around the center
of the bounding box?
Is it possible at all the create multi
pivot points for an object and update
them after mouseup to remain in the
corners and center of the transformed
bbox?
UPDATE:
I've attempted to use jQuery offset to find the pivot after it's been rotated, and to use that offset location as the pivot point.

The best cross-browser way I can think of to do what you want is to implement the rotation yourself rather than let SVG do it. Rotating x,y coordinates is fairly simple and I've been using this (tcl) code whenever I need to do 2D rotation: Canvas Rotation.
The upside to this is you have maximum control of the rotation since you're doing it manually. This solves the problems you're having trying to guess the final coordinates after rotation. Also, this should be cross browser compatible.
The downside is you have to use paths. So no rects (though it should be easy to convert them to paths) or ellipses (a little bit harder to convert to path but doable). Also, since you're doing it manually, it should be slower than letting SVG do it for you.
Here's a partial implementation of that Tcl code in javascript:
first we need a regexp to tokenize SVG paths:
var svg_path_regexp = (function(){
var number = '-?[0-9.]+';
var comma = '\s*[, \t]\s*';
var space = '\s+';
var xy = number + comma + number;
var standard_paths = '[mlcsqt]';
var horiz_vert = '[hv]\s*' + number;
var arc = 'a\s*' + xy + space + number + space + xy + space + xy;
var OR = '\s*|';
return new RegExp(
standard_paths +OR+
xy +OR+
horiz_vert +OR+
arc,
'ig'
);
})();
now we can implement the rotate function:
function rotate_SVG_path (path, Ox, Oy, angle) {
angle = angle * Math.atan(1) * 4 / 180.0; // degrees to radians
var tokens = path.match(svg_path_regexp);
for (var i=0; i<tokens.length; i++) {
var token = tokens[i].replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,''); // trim string
if (token.match(/\d/)) { // assume it's a coordinate
var xy = token.split(/[, \t]+/);
var x = parseFloat(xy[0]);
var y = parseFloat(xy[1]);
x = x - Ox; // Shift to origin
y = y - Oy;
var xx = x * Math.cos(angle) - y * Math.sin(angle); // Rotate
var yy = x * Math.sin(angle) + y * Math.cos(angle);
x = xx + Ox; // Shift back
y = yy + Oy;
token = x + ',' + y;
}
else if (token.match(/^[hv]/)) {
// handle horizontal/vertical line here
}
else if (token.match(/^a/)) {
// handle arcs here
}
tokens[i] = token;
}
return tokens.join('');
}
The above rotate function implements everything except horizontal/vertical lines (you need to keep track of previous xy value) and arcs. Neither should be too hard to implement.
