Lab 12 - working with Canvas

What is Canvas?

Canvas is like a drawing board.

It provides a rectangle area of a specific width and height.
We will use new HTML 5 JavaScript api and draw various shapes of different size, colors and patterns in that rectangle area(canvas).

Let’s understand Canvas with the help of couple of labs.

Initial setup

Step 1

Create a HTML page.

<html>
<head></head>
<body></body>
</html>

Step 2

Create canvas inside body tag as follows.

<canvas id="MyCanvas" width="500px" height="500px" style="border:1px solid black;">

</canvas>

Step 3

Create Script tag in head part

<head>

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

</head>

Step 4

Create a JavaScript function “Draw” and place it inside script tag.

Inside Draw function get access to the canvas object.

function Draw()

{
        var ctx = document.getElementById('MyCanvas').getContext("2d");      
        //Canvas Code Comes Here
}

Lab 12.1 Working a Path
What is path?

Path is simply a list of zero or more sub paths.
Each sub path is a list of one or more endpoints.
Each end point in a sub path will be connected to each other by a straight line or by curved lines.

Lab 12.1.1 – Creating path with Single Begin Path

Code Snippet

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.strokeStyle = "blue";

ctx.moveTo(75, 50);

ctx.lineTo(75, 100);

ctx.stroke();

ctx.strokeStyle = "red";

ctx.lineTo(25, 100);

ctx.stroke();

Output

Explanation

In above example complete path is made up of two sub paths.

BeginPath – Create a new Path.
We first build structure with sub paths and then stroke all those sub paths at once with the help of stroke() method
strokeStyle will be used to set the current style.
Every time stroke method is called, all sub paths will be stroked in current style.
In above example,
- First stroke method draw sub path in blue color between coordinates (75,50) and (75,100)
- Second stroke method will draw 2 sub paths (both in red color).
  - One between coordinates (75,50) and (75,100)
  - Second between (75,100) and (25,100)

(This is why first sub path in canvas is neither red nor blue its mixture of both)

Lab 12.1.2 – Creating path with Multiple Begin Path

Code Snippet

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.strokeStyle = "blue";

ctx.moveTo(75, 50);

ctx.lineTo(75, 100);

ctx.stroke();

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.moveTo(75, 100);

ctx.strokeStyle = "red";

ctx.lineTo(25, 100);

ctx.stroke();

Output

Lab 12.1.3 – Understand ClosePath

Code Snippet

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.strokeStyle = "blue";

ctx.moveTo(75, 50);

ctx.lineTo(75, 100);

ctx.lineTo(25, 100);

ctx.closePath();

ctx.stroke();

Output

Explanation

closePath – lineTo from current point to startPoint

Lab 12.1.4 – Understand Fill

Code Snippet

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.moveTo(75, 50);

ctx.lineTo(75, 100);

ctx.lineTo(25, 100);

ctx.fillStyle = "red";

ctx.fill();

Output

Lab 12.1.5 – Draw curved line

Code Snippet

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.moveTo(175, 50)

ctx.quadraticCurveTo(60, 360, 175, 300);

ctx.stroke()

Output

Explanation

quadraticCurveTo function takes four parameters.

First two points are control points that is used in the quadratic Bézier calculation and the next two points are the ending point for the curve

Lab 12.2 Working with Rectangle

Lab 12.2.1 Draw rectangle

Code Snippet

ctx.fillStyle="red";

ctx.fillRect(75, 75, 150, 150);

           

ctx.strokeStyle = "black";

ctx.lineWidth = 5;

ctx.strokeRect(175,175,150,150);

Output

Lab 12.2.2 Clear rectangle

Code Snippet

ctx.fillStyle="red";

ctx.fillRect(75, 75, 250, 250);

ctx.clearRect(125, 125, 100, 100);

Output

Lab 12.3 Working with Gradient

Lab 12.3.1 Working with Liner Gradient

Code Snippet

var grd = ctx.createLinearGradient(75, 75, 225, 75);

grd.addColorStop(0, "black");

grd.addColorStop(0.2, "magenta");

grd.addColorStop(0.4, "blue");

grd.addColorStop(0.6, "green");

grd.addColorStop(0.8, "yellow");

grd.addColorStop(1, "red");

ctx.fillStyle = grd

ctx.fillRect(75, 75, 150, 150);

Output

Explanation

CreateLinearGradient takes 4 parameters x1,y1,x2,y2
1. When x1=x2 and y1!=y2, gradient direction will be horizontal
2. When y1=y2 and x1!=x2, gradient direction will be vertical.
3. When x1!=x2 and y1!=y2 gradient direction will be diagonal.
AddColorStop function takes two arguments.
1. Number between 0 and 1 that represents the position between start and end in a gradient.
2. Color

Lab 12.3.2 Working with Radial Gradient

Code Snippet

var grd = ctx.createRadialGradient(150, 150, 5, 150, 150,85);

grd.addColorStop(0, "orange");

grd.addColorStop(0.2, "magenta");

grd.addColorStop(0.4, "blue");

grd.addColorStop(0.6, "green");

grd.addColorStop(0.8, "yellow");

grd.addColorStop(1, "red");

ctx.fillStyle = grd

ctx.fillRect(75, 75, 150, 150);

Output

Explanation

CreateRadialGradiant takes 6 arguments x1,y1,r1,x2,y2,r2

x1,y1,y1 will represents the center and radius of starting circle.
x2,y2,r2 will represents the center and radius of ending circle.

Gradient start with starting circle and moves towards the end circle.

Lab 12.4 Working with Circle

Code Snippet

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.fillStyle="yellow";

ctx.strokeStyle="green";

ctx.lineWidth = "8";

ctx.arc(100, 175, 85, 0, 2*Math.PI);

ctx.fill();

ctx.stroke();


ctx.beginPath();

ctx.fillStyle = "green";

ctx.strokeStyle = "yellow";

ctx.lineWidth = "8";

ctx.arc(285, 175, 85, 0, 1 * Math.PI);

ctx.fill();

ctx.stroke();

Output

Explanation

DrawArc function takes 5 arguments x,y,r,sa,ea

x and y is center of circle
r is radius
sa and ea are start angle and end angle of circle.

Angles can be measured in either degree or radians.

In case of radians Mathematical constant PI (π) indicates half circle, and 2*PI indicates full circle.

Lab 12.5 Working with Text

Code Snippet

ctx.beginPath();

ctx.font = "30px Segoe UI";

ctx.fillText("www.StepByStepSchools.Net",0, 150);

Output

Explanation

fillText/strokeText simply takes 3 arguments

Actual Text
X and Y coordinates

Lab 12.6 Scale

Code Snippet

ctx.strokeRect(75, 75, 75, 75);

ctx.scale(2,2);

ctx.strokeRect(75, 75, 75, 75);

Output

Explanation

Scale method simply scales position and diameter of all future drawings.

In above example it is scaled by 200%.

Lab 12.7 Rotate

Code Snippet

ctx.rotate(0.2);

ctx.strokeRect(75, 75, 75, 75);

Output

Explanation

Rotates future drawings by specified angle

Lab 12.8 Translate

Code Snippet

ctx.strokeRect(0, 0, 150, 150);

ctx.translate(150, 150);

ctx.strokeRect(0, 0, 150, 150);

Output

Explanation

Translate method remaps the (0,0) position in the canvas.

Note: We can also use a simple method called “settransform” which let us scale, rotate and translate in one go.

Lab 12.9 Save and restore canvas state

Code Snippet

ctx.fillStyle="red";

ctx.fillRect(75, 75, 150, 150);


ctx.fillStyle = "blue";             

ctx.fillRect(90, 90, 50, 50);


ctx.save();


ctx.fillStyle = "yellow";

ctx.fillRect(90, 160, 50, 50);


ctx.save();

ctx.fillStyle = "green";

ctx.restore();

ctx.restore();

ctx.fillRect(160, 160, 50, 50);

Output

Explanation

Save method will store current canvas state in the canvas.

Restore method pops out the last saved state form the stack and set it to canvas.

Lab 12.10 Working with Images

Code Snippet

vari = new Image();
i.src = "Desert.jpg";
i.onload = function () {
    //Draw Squqre
ctx.strokeStyle = "green";
ctx.lineWidth = 5;
ctx.drawImage(i, 0, 0);
ctx.strokeRect(60, 120, 70, 80);

    //draw Text
ctx.strokeStyle = "yellow";
ctx.font = "30px Segoe UI";
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.strokeText("My Home", 80, 40);

    //Draw Arrow
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.strokeStyle = "red";
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.moveTo(110, 110);
ctx.lineTo(125, 40);

ctx.moveTo(110, 110);
ctx.lineTo(100, 90);

ctx.moveTo(110, 110);
ctx.lineTo(126, 95);
ctx.stroke();
};

Output

Lab 12.11 Animation using Canvas

Once we draw something in canvas we cannot change it. In order to do some modification in existing drawing,
1. We remove existing drawing with the help of “clearRect” function.
2. Then redraw with new attributes

When above strategy is combined with traditional JavaScript function like Windows.Timeout or Window.SetInterval, it leads to animation.

Code Snippet

var interval;
var x = 0, y = 0;
functiondrawInAnimation()
{
varctx = document.getElementById('MyCanvas').getContext("2d");

ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x, y);
ctx.clearRect(x , y, 50, 50);
if (x >document.getElementById('MyCanvas').width) {

        x = 0;
        y += 50;
if (y + 50 >document.getElementById('MyCanvas').height)
        {
            x = 0; y = 0;
        } 
    }
else {
        x += 15;
    }
ctx.fillStyle = getRndColor();
ctx.fillRect(x, y,50,50);
}
functiongetRndColor() {
var r = 255 * Math.random() | 0,
        g = 255 * Math.random() | 0,
        b = 255 * Math.random() | 0;
    return 'rgb(' + r + ',' + g + ',' + b + ')';
}

interval = setInterval("drawInAnimation()", 15);

Output

Note: Above image is recorded gif version of actual ouput. Hence animation just restarts in the middle, thats because its not real HTML animation(here). Requesting you to download source code from top and run the same.

Lab 13 – working with SVG

Just like Canvas, SVG let us draw Images inside a rectangle area. We will see the difference between Canvas and SVG, but before that let’s do a lab on SVG.

Initial setup

Step 1

Create a HTML page.

<html>

<head></head>

<body></body>

</html>

Step 2

Create canvas inside body tag as follows.

<SVG id="MySVG" width="500px" height="500px" style="border:1px solid black;">

</SVG >

Lab 13.1 Working with various kinds of shapes

Instead of understanding each shape individually, let’s use multiple shapes in combination and create something creative.

Code Snippet

HTML

<svg width="205" height="200">


    <!--surrounding border-->

    <rect x="0" y="0" width="205" height="200" style="fill: rgb(199, 240, 185);"> </rect>

    <!--surrounding border-->



    <!--Hat Start-->

    <rect x="78" y="10" width="44" height="70" style="fill: black; stroke: black; "></rect>

    <ellipse cx="120" cy="95" rx="5" ry="12"

                style="fill:black;stroke:black;stroke-width:1" />


    <!--Mouth start-->

    <clipPath id="cut-off-bottom">

        <rect x="70" y="135" width="60" height="30" />

    </clipPath>

    <ellipse cx="100" cy="125" rx="30" ry="20" clip-path="url(#cut-off-bottom)"

                style="fill:rgb(230, 231, 194);stroke:black;stroke-width:2" />

    <!--Mouth End-->


    <!--Nose-->

    <polygon points="100,115 85,125 115,125"

                style="fill: brown;

            stroke-width: 1" />


    <!--Divider-->

    <line x1="0" y1="165" x2="205" y2="165" style="stroke:brown;

stroke-width:2" />

    <text x="25" y="185" font-family="Comic Sans MS'" fill="Blue" >A coder can be creative</text>

</svg>

Output

Lab 13.1 SVG animations

SVG’s declarative way of programming makes animation much easier. Let’s add couple of animations to above SVG diagram.

Ouput

SVG vs Canvas

Let’s list down the key differences between SVG and Canvas

Vector vs Pixel

Canvas is Pixel based whereas SVG is Vector based.

Look at the following output.

In simple word, SVG images are resolution independent whereas canvas images are not.

XML vs JavaScript

In case of SVG we do all the drawing (like drawing various shapes, lines) with the help of semantic tags (xml tags) whereas in case of Canvas JavaScript is the only the way.

It makes every shape in SVG an Element. We can access those elements inside JavaScript using traditional JavaScript functions like “document.getElementById” and can change any attributes dynamically.

Note: For practical demonstration check the next demonstration.

Support for event handlers

Canvas don’t have support for event handlers whereas SVG do have.

Look at the following code.

HTML

   <svg width="120" height="120">

        <circle cx="60" cy="60" r="25" stroke="green"  id="MyCircle"

            stroke-width="8" fill="yellow" onmouseover="IncreaseSize();" onmouseout="DecreaseSize();" />

    </svg>

<input type="button" value="+" onclick="ChangeSize();">

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">

    function IncreaseSize ()

    {

                    document.getElementById("MyCircle").r.baseVal.value=50;

    }

    function DecreaseSize()

    {

        document.getElementById("MyCircle").r.baseVal.value = 25;

    }

</script>

Output

Support for saving image

Final outcome (rendered result) in canvas will be an Image. We can easily save the image using browsers default “Save images as” option.

It won’t be possible with SVG.
