I have an image that has the same aspect ratio as the canvas but a different resolution. I know I can make use of the view size, view.viewSize, but my trouble is setting the dimensions of the image. I have tried setting the width using raster.width = 2000;, for example, but it does not seem to work.
This ended up working for me.
raster.size = paper.view.viewSize;
raster.position = paper.view.center;
Use raster.bounds instead
(for width)
raster.bounds.width = 2000;
or
(for height)
raster.bounds.height = 2000;
So, you right, you should be able to get canvas size with:
paper.view.viewSize
and assign the raster the proper with/height

I am using one canvas in my web app and it's actual height and width are 500px. I am showing this canvas on screen as 500px square but i want image exported from this canvas as 1600px square. I have tried below code with no luck.
canvas.width = 1600;
canvas.style.width = 500;
Any help will be appreciated.
You can have the canvas display at 500px while still having a resolution of 1600px. Display size and resolution are independent. For resolution you set the canvas width and height properties. For display size you set the canvas style width and height properties.
// create a canvas or get it from the page
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
// set the resolution (number of pixels)
canvas.width = canvas.height = 1600;
// set the display size
canvas.style.width = canvas.style.height = "500px";
// get the rendering context
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
To get the rendering to match the display size you need to scale up all rendering. You can do this by setting the transform scale to the canvas resolution divided by the display size
var scale = 1600 / 500; // get the scale that matches display size
ctx.setTransform(scale,0,0,scale,0,0);
Now when you render to the canvas you use the screen size coordinates.
ctx.fillRect(0,0,500,500); // fill all of the canvas.
ctx.fillStyle = "red"; // draw a red circle 100 display pixels in size.
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(250,250,100,0,Math.PI * 2);
ctx.fill();
When you then save the canvas, what ever method you use as long as it is not screen capture the saved canvas will be 1600 by 1600 and all the rendering will be correctly positions and proportional
HTML
<canvas width="1600px" height="1600px" > </canvas>
CSS
canvas{
position :absolute;
transform:scale(0.3125);
left:-500px; //adjust
top:-350px; //adjust
}
Use transform:scale() to adjust size of your canvas
Now 1600 * 1600 will be the actual size of your canvas, so you can directly export images from your canvas
But in view it show as 500px * 500px beacuse it's scaled down, it dose not affect the image quality while exporting
Honest answer: you can't.
If you did, then you'd have found a way to losslessly compress data with less than 1/9th of the original size, and without any encoding, which is unarguably impossible.
What you can do is scale it up in a way that it at least doesn't get blurry. To do that, you need the final image to be an integer multiple of the previous canvas, so the browser won't apply anti-aliasing. Or if you want to use your own copying formula with putImageData that would get rid of anti-aliasing, you'll still get various incongruences and it would be very slow
In your case, the closest you could get is 1500x1500 ( 3*500x3*500 ). If your point was to process an image, you're not in luck, but if you just want to display something good enough, you can resort to various other tricks such as centering the canvas and using properties like box-shadow to make it clear that it's separate from the rest of the screen
For a Project I want to take the content of a canvas (Called SAVE_CV) and display it in another, smaller canvas.
Some things that I am aware of so far that could be causing me problems: resizing a canvas clears its content, the JS-size of a canvas is different from the CSS-size.
I want the smaller canvas to be 500px wide and appropriately high.
function restoreTaggingCV() {
var cv = document.getElementById( 'taggingCV' );
var ctx = cv.getContext( "2d" );
var styleHeight = SAVE_CV.height * 500 / SAVE_CV.width;
ctx.drawImage(SAVE_CV, 0, 0, cv.width, cv.height);
}
This is my Code so far. Whenever I try to resize the smaller canvas appropriately it only gives me a blank canvas with nothing in it. I tried to set the size with "cv.height = X" and "cv.style.height = styleHeight + 'px'" but neither worked. Also I would love to set the width of the canvas using CSS.
Appreciate any help.
EDIT
I want the image in a picture because later I want the user to mark areas in the smaller version which I then want to use to create individual imaged from the big version. I want to visualise thise area to the user. I probably could do all this by using an image and putting divs over it or something but I just fell more comfident using a canvas since I am pritty new to HTML and CSS.
Try using the CanvasRenderingContext2d.prototype.scale method. It sets the scale factor of the canvas and renders anything in the current state with it's dimensions multiplied by the factor.
So before you use the drawImage function, you scale the context appropriately (in this case, down). For example:
context.save();
context.scale(0.5, 0.5);
context.drawImage(canvas, 0, 0);
context.restore();
This would render the canvas on the context at 0.5 times it's current size. See in this fiddle how I used it to mirror a larger canvas onto a smaller, separate one.
Canvas objects don't like to be resised. After drawing Your image simply convert it toDataURL() and set as image source. They You may resize image as you want.
$img.attr('src',canvas.toDataURL());
I am working with a copy of http://www.rgraph.net/demos/bar04.html in which the canvas has no height and width specified in its attributes, but set in CSS to have height and width of 100%.
At present the rendered image looks like it was graphed crisply at a low resolution and then blown up; the screen has the same sort of fuzziness you'll get from zooming too far in on an image in a browser.
Is there any way to adapt and configure RGraph so the image is crisp when the graph fills a screen?
Changing the size of the canvas with CSS will just scale it rather than change the innate resolution. To change the resolution set the width and height properties of the canvas. You can either do this in the markup, or you can set it in script:
var cvs = document.getElementById('cvs');
cvs.width = 1200;
cvs.height = 500;
As well as hard-coding the values you could determine the window size when the page has loaded (eg with jQuery) and then set the width/height attributes to that.
I'm trying to allow the user to draw a rectangle on the canvas (like a selection box). I'm getting some ridiculous results, but then I noticed that even just trying the code from my reference here, I get huge fuzzy lines and don't know why.
it's hosted at dylanstestserver.com/drawcss. the javascript is inline so you can check it out. I am using jQuery to simplify getting the mouse coordinates.
The blurry problem will happen if you use css to set the canvas height and width instead of setting height and width in the canvas element.
<style>
canvas { height: 800px; width: 1200px; } WRONG WAY -- BLURRY LINES
</style>
<canvas height="800" width="1200"></canvas> RIGHT WAY -- SHARP LINES
For some reason, your canvas is stretched. Because you have its css property width set to 100%, it is stretching it from some sort of native size. It's the difference between using the css width property and the width attribute on the <canvas> tag. You might want to try using a bit of javascript to make it fill the viewport (see jQuery .width()):
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
var canvas = document.getElementById('drawing');
canvas.width(($(window).width()).height($(window).height());
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
//...
The way I do it is to set the canvas element to a width and height in the css, and then set the canvas.width = canvas.clientWidth and canvas.height = canvas.clientHeight
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
canvas.width = canvas.clientWidth;
canvas.height = canvas.clientHeight;
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
You haven't indicated canvas size in pixels, so it is scaled up. It is 300x150 here. Try setting the width, height
On retina displays you also need to scale (in addition to the accepted answer):
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.scale(2,2);
The css sizing issue mentioned in these comments is correct, but another more subtle thing that can cause blurred lines is forgetting to call make a call to context.beginPath() before drawing a line. Without calling this, you will still get a line, but it won't be smoothed which makes the line looks like a series of steps.
I found the reason mine was blurry was that there was a slight discrepancy between the inline width and the CSS width.
I have both inline width/height parameters AND css width/height assigned to my canvas, because I need to keep its physical dimensions static, while increasing its inline dimensions for retina screens.
Check yours are the same if you have a situation like mine.
Can I know an image dpi (horizontal and vertical resolution) using javascript ?
You can use the EXIF parsing extension from Blueimp's Load Image library, https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Load-Image#user-content-meta-data-parsing.
loadImage.parseMetaData(file, function(meta) {
if (!meta.exif) { return; }
var resX = meta.exif.get('XResolution');
var resY = meta.exif.get('YResolution');
});
There is also the exif-js library (https://github.com/jseidelin/exif-js), but I cannot vouch for how well it works (haven't used it).
I think DPI is not a property of an image. DPI is a measurement used when printing.
Anyhow... You can get width and height of an image with something like this:
var image = new Image();
image.src = "http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackexchange/img/logos/so/so-logo.png";
//show width and height in alert-popup
alert("Width: "+image.width+", Height: "+image.height);
The img element is always same size as the image itself, if you do not specify width and/or height. That's why this should work :)
