how do I get the x,y coordinates from a HTML element relative to screen?
I'm using x,y from getBoundingClientRect() as below, but as you can see in the blow image, if I use move the cursor to this x,y position, the curson is in the middle between 0 and + buttons not the 5 button, which is the target button.
What am I missing?
JS code:
var e = document.querySelector('input[id=five]');"
var r = e.getBoundingClientRect();
var x = r.x;
var y = r.y;
MoveMouseTo(x,y); // imaginary call, the real cursor move is done by C# but I can share the code, as needed.
Image:
NOTE: if this aditional info may help, it's a C# application with embedded browser.
const getCoords = (e) => {
var x = e.clientX
var y = e.clientY
var xx = e.screenX
var yy = e.screenY
console.log(x, y, "client")
console.log(xx, yy, "screen")
}
You're going to want to assign this function to a onmousemove event to the outermost div containing the UI for your calculator. This should at least show you the difference between a screen X,Y and a client X,Y
https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=FVXZOK1SPTR0
You can try to add an event listener on your element and use the event to retrieve the coordinates of the mouse.
const $element = document.querySelector('input[id=five]');
$element.addEventListener('mousemove', handleMouseMove);
function handleMouseMove (event) {
console.log('Offset from the screen coordinates', event.screenX, event.screenY);
// The client refers to the element you are bound to;
console.log('Offset from the client coordinates', event.clientX, event.clientY);
};
I'm making a carousel like a casino roulette but i can't find the way to know which div number is when i make the animation. I'm trying to calculate by distance when i make the animation loop but i doesn't work
Here's my example
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/xXbpJr?page=1&
var giftamount = 10;
var gw = $('.gift').outerWidth(true);
var giftcenter = gw/2;
var cycle = 7;
var containercenter = $('.boxwrapper').outerWidth(true)/2;
for(var i = 0; i <=5; i++)
{
var giftduplicate = $('.giftwrapper').children().clone(true,true);
$('.giftwrapper').append(giftduplicate);
}
$('.button').click(function(){
var btn = $(this);
btn.hide();
var randomgift = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1);
var distance = giftamount * gw * cycle + containercenter + (randomgift*gw) - giftcenter;
console.log(distance);
$( ".giftwrapper" ).css({left: "0"});
$('.giftwrapper').animate({left: "-="+distance},10000,function(){
alert('You Won Gift' + randomgift);
btn.show();
});
});
i get the wrong number of div, i tried a lot of combination but it doesn't work
You can try and substitute this for the distance
var distance = giftamount * cycle * gw + (randomgift*gw) - containercenter -24;
The idea is the following: with distance=- containercenter; you would move to be left-aligned with the center of the container.
To that you add a certain number of cycles giftamount * cycle * gw and finally a random number of gift elements ((randomgift*gw)).
I could not figure out where the constant -24 comes from. I hard-coded and it needs to be better defined but I guess it might depend on some margins/approximations/jQuery/CSS/??
Now you should see that the animation always stops at the same point within the gift element (in the middle). To add a random deviation you could ad a small deviation dev (that lets you stay within the gift element) like this:
var dev = Math.random()*(giftcenter+1);
var distance = giftamount * cycle * gw + (randomgift*gw) - containercenter -24 +dev;
Updated demo: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/RLNeBX
If you want to get the prize that is underneath the pointer (the vertical red bar), you actually do not have to compute the distance. Instead, you can make use of a really handy but somewhat less known DOM API method known as elementFromPoint(x, y), where you can obtain a reference to the topmost DOM node under the x,y coordinate of the page.
In order for this to work, x and y will have to correspond to the visual center of the pointer, which can we can simply calculate by using:
var $pointer = $('.rafflebox .pointer');
var pointerX = $pointer.offset().left + $pointer.width() * 0.5;
var pointerY = $pointer.offset().top + $pointer.height() * 0.5;
In jQuery's animation callback, you simply can retrieve the element (aka the prize) underneath this coordinate:
// Hide pointer first, otherwise it will be returned as the topmost element
$pointer.hide();
// Get element from pointer's visual center
var prize = document.elementFromPoint(pointerX, pointerY);
// Show it again
$pointer.show();
Now you have the correct reference to the DOM node, it is up to you to decide what kind of metadata you want to store in the "prize" DOM node. For example, you can embed a HTML5 data- attribute in your HAML:
%img{:src => "http://placehold.it/125x125?text=Prize+#{i}", :data => {:prize => "Prize #{i}"}}
...which simply stores the text Prize (n) (where n is the prize number) in the attribute data-prize, and we can access it later using:
var prize = document.elementFromPoint(pointerX, pointerY);
console.log($(prize).data('prize'));
When we replace part of your code with what I have suggested, you get this:
// Get visual center of pointer
var $pointer = $('.rafflebox .pointer');
var pointerX = $pointer.offset().left + $pointer.width() * 0.5;
var pointerY = $pointer.offset().top + $pointer.height() * 0.5;
$( ".giftwrapper" ).css({left: "0"});
$('.giftwrapper').animate({left: "-="+distance},10000,function(){
// Hide pointer first, otherwise it will be returned as the topmost element
$pointer.hide();
// Get element from pointer's visual center
var prize = document.elementFromPoint(pointerX, pointerY);
// Show it again
$pointer.show();
alert('You Won Gift ' + $(prize).data('prize'));
btn.show();
});
Here is your updated pen with a working example: https://codepen.io/terrymun/pen/dVPdMg
Updated example
There is a very small chance that the pointer will land in between prizes. To prevent this, you will want to use padding instead of margin on the .gift element:
.gift {
// Change margin to padding
padding: 0px 4px;
}
...and perform additional checks on the returned prize node:
// Hide pointer first, otherwise it will be returned as the topmost element
$pointer.hide();
// Get element from pointer's visual center
var $prize = $(document.elementFromPoint(pointerX, pointerY));
// If prize lands on the .gift element instead
if(!$prize.is('img'))
$prize = $prize.find('img')
// Show it again
$pointer.show();
alert('You Won Gift' + $prize.data('prize'));
btn.show();
The pen here is simply a fork of the original solution, but with exaggerated horizontal padding to increase the chance of the pointer landing in between iamges: https://codepen.io/terrymun/pen/rGaJmY
We are building an image editor of sorts using Paper.js. We have a queue on the side of the Paper.js canvas that allows switching between images. Each time we switch between images, we want to flatten all the annotations (rasterize) onto the image just being edited.
Each time we switch images, this method is called, which rasterizes the current image and annotations to a data URL. (If we revisit this image, a raster from this data URL will be displayed.)
var flattenToDataUrl = function() {
layerAsRaster = paper.project.layers[0].rasterize(); // Layer to Paper.js Raster object
layerAsRaster.visible = false; // Attempt to set not visible
var dataString = layerAsRaster.toDataURL();
return dataString;
};
Then we end up calling this method, which changes out the image we're editing:
var setCanvasImage = function(imageObject) {
if(imageObject != null)
{
imageHeight = imageObject.height;
var imageWidth = imageObject.width;
// Set up HTMLImage
var imageElement = new Image(imageObject.width, imageObject.height);
if(_.has(imageObject, 'imageData')) { // Came as 64 bit data
imageElement.src = 'data:image/png;base64,' + imageObject.imageData;
} else if(_.has(imageObject, 'imageUrl')) { // Came as URL
imageElement.src = imageObject.imageUrl;
}
// Add image to Paper.js canvas
imageElement.onload = function(event) {
// Initialize Paper.js on the canvas
paper.setup(canvas);
raster = new paper.Raster(imageElement, new paper.Point(canvas.width / 2, canvas.height / 2));
setUpNotes();
selectedItems = new paper.Group(); // Since Paper.js has been setup we can now initialize this Group
registerCanvasEvents(); // Panning, zooming, moving selected items, deselecting all selected items
fitToPage();
};
}
};
So, this changes out the image, but when I move my mouse into the canvas after selecting a different image in the queue, it glitches to the image we were just on (with its annotations) until I do something like pan, zoom, etc. Then I see the image I selected and am truly working with.
Removing the flattenToDataUrl() functionality makes the queue work seamlessly. So it seems to me something is fishy there. We are generating a Paper.js Raster object in that method. Rasters seem to automatically add themselves. I attempt to curb this with a call to
layerAsRaster.visible = false;
but to no avail.
What is causing this glitchy behavior and how do I prevent it?
Update
For clarity (hopefully) and completeness, I've decided to post the whole PaperFunctions class we use in conjunction with React, which hosts our <canvas> element. There's a lot of code, and a lot of cleanup to do, especially in registerCanvasEvents(). Bear with this learning beginner. Also it's several hundred lines, so it may be helpful to paste it into your favorite editor. Entry points include setCanvas which is called in componentDidMount of the React class with the <canvas> element, and canvasSetImage which is called from the queue. I agree from bmacnaughton's answer that it's weird to call paper.setup(canvas) every time we load a new image. I'm currently investigating the right solution to this, the right place to put it. setCanvas seems logical but when I drag the image to move it in that setup, it leaves a trail of images in its wake. Anyway, here's PaperFunctions.js:
var JQueryMousewheel = require('jquery-mousewheel')($);
var SimplePanAndZoom = require('./SimplePanAndZoom.js');
var panAndZoom = new SimplePanAndZoom();
var selectedItems;
// We use selection here in two distinct ways.
// An item may be Paper.js selected but not in the selection group.
// This is because we want to show it is selectable.
// A blue bounding box indicates it is selectable.
// A green bounding box indicates it has actually been selected and added to selectedItems.
// Only things in selectedItems are actually operated on.
// So the event handlers in this method basically set up whether or not the item is in selectedItems (and therefore will be operated on for moving, resizing, deleting, etc.).
// That is, the event handlers here are concerned with displaying to the user the status of selection for the item - whether or not it will be operated on when events actually happen on the selectedItems Group.
var registerItemEvents = function(item) {
// Boolean flag for mouseup to know if was drag or click
var dragged;
// For tracking if dragging or clicking is happening
item.on('mousedown', function(e) {

var SimplePanAndZoom = (function() {

}
if (delta > 0) {

}
// Zoom towards offsetPoint, not centerPoint (unless they're the same)
var a = null;
if(!centerPoint.equals(offsetPoint)) {
var scalingFactor = oldZoom / newZoom;
var difference = offsetPoint.subtract(centerPoint);
a = offsetPoint.subtract(difference.multiply(scalingFactor)).subtract(centerPoint);
}
return [newZoom, a];
};
SimplePanAndZoom.prototype.changeCenter = function(oldCenter, deltaX, deltaY, factor) {
var offset;
offset = new paper.Point(-deltaX, -deltaY);
offset = offset.multiply(factor);
return oldCenter.add(offset);
};
return SimplePanAndZoom;
})();
module.exports = SimplePanAndZoom;
Thanks.
I'm taking some guesses here but I'll address some problems in the code that will hopefully address the behavior you're seeing.
First, I presume paper.project.layers[0] is paper.project.activeLayer. Once that has been rasterized 1) the raster is added to the layer and setting visible = false does cause it to disappear when an update is done.
Second, when you invoke paper.setup(canvas) in imageElement.onload you create a new paper project. This project starts out as the active project and makes the previous project "disappear". So when you create a raster with raster = new paper.Raster(...) it goes into the new project, not the old project.
So now there is a hidden (.visible = false) raster in the old project (let's call it project1) and a new version of it in project2.
I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior or not, but when you invoke paper.setup(canvas) for what seems to be the second time then paper seems to notice that they both refer to the same canvas and keeps project1 and project2 in sync. So creating the second project clears the first project's children array. And adding new paper.Raster(...) ends up adding the raster to project1 and project2.
Now I can't tell what the next piece of the puzzle is. You'd need to add some information like 1) where the mouse event handlers are setup and what they are attached to, 2) what setUpNotes() does, 3) what registerCanvasEvents() does, and 4) what fitToPage does.
There are a few globals created, imageHeight and raster that probably aren't intentional. And it's not clear why you need to use new Image() at all - paper.Raster() accepts URLs, including data URLs.
I was surprised paper cleared the first project. It's curious.
Version 2:
Let me take a stab at structuring this using layers. I'd suggest you get rid of multiple projects because having mouse event handlers attached to multiple projects that share the same canvas adds too much complexity.
So, in your code initialization: paper.setup(canvas). Do this once and only once.
Setup the initial image in the single layer initially created by paper.
// this will be inserted into the current layer, project.activeLayer
var raster = new paper.Raster(imageURL, paper.view.bounds.center);
When the image in your queue changes do something like:
// make the existing image/layer invisible
paper.project.activeLayer.visible = false;
// add a new layer which is inserted in the project and activated
var layer = new paper.Layer();
// the new layer is activated, create a raster for the image
var raster = new paper.Raster(imageURL, paper.view.bounds.center);
// now do your normal logic for editing, zooming, etc.
It's really a bit more complicated than that because you have a queue of images and you only want to create a layer the first time you visit an image. You could initialize all the rasters at the outset, something like:
var imageURLs = ["url to image1", "url to image2", "etc"];
imageURLs.forEach(function(url) {
new paper.Layer();
paper.project.activeLayer.visible = false;
new paper.Raster(url, paper.view.bounds.center);
});
// make the first layer visible and activate it
paper.project.layers[0].visible = true;
paper.project.layers[0].activate();
The preceeding code gives you a parallel array to the images in your queue so switching images is straightforward - there is no checking to see if that image has been created or not:
function setImage(index) {
paper.project.activeLayer.visible = false;
paper.project.layers[index].activate();
paper.project.layers[index].visible = true;
}
Finally, I would make sure my mouse handling wasn't causing me problems. From the new code you posted it looks like each project had a global tool that handled 'mousedown', 'mousedrag', and 'mouseup' events, another set of handlers for activeLayer for 'mousedown', 'mousedrag', and 'mouseup' events, and also selectedItems has a handler for 'mousedrag'. I can't keep track of what all the different handlers are supposed to do across projects. I'm guessing that these are the root issue with the flickering you saw.
I would likely just use paper.view.on for 'mousedown', 'mousedrag', and 'mouseup' events. When I get an event I would check to see if anything on the layer was hit by using the following:
paper.project.activeLayer.hitTest(event.point);
Being able to set events on the view is new for paper but very useful. There may be a few other tweaks necessary to handle highlighting unselected items. A relatively straightforward way to handle that is to have a group of selected items and a group of unselected items:
unSelectedGroup.on('mouseenter', function() {
unSelectedGroup.selected = true;
});
unSelectedGroup.on('mouseleave', function() {
unSelectedGroup.selected = false;
});
These should be safe across layers when only one layer is visible at a time. I would set up these group handlers when setting up the images, whether all up front or on an as-needed basis. Alternatively, you could also add paper.view.on('mousemove', ...) and handle the 'mouseenter' and 'mouseleave' events yourself using hitTest as shown above, but either approach should work.
I think using a layer-based approach to your images will keep things in sync. There are enough problems with the project-based approach and many different mouse event handlers that you'll be on more stable ground regardless.
Not sure exactly what to call it, but I am looking for a way to create a dotted outline/selection box effect via javascript/svg when you click and drag over an area, and then goes away on mouseUp (that could be added if it wasn't an original part) .
A jQuery library would be nice if it exists. I've done some looking around, and haven't found exactly what I am looking for.
I guess the theory would be get the coord from the first click, track the mouse coord moment and adjust the box accordingly.
But not writing it from scratch would be nice.
Here's a demo I made just for you :)
Demo (Static): http://jsfiddle.net/HNH2f/1/
Demo (Animated): http://jsfiddle.net/HNH2f/2/
You can use CSS to control the visual style of the marquee.
You can pass one or two functions to the trackMarquee method; both will be called with four arguments: the x1,y1,x2,y2 bounds of the marquee. The first function will be called when the marquee is released. The second function (if present) will be called each time the marquee moves (so that you can, for example, calculate what items are within that bounding box).
When you start dragging on the SVG document (or whatever element you choose to track) it will create a <rect class="marquee" />; during dragging it will adjust the size of the rectangle. Use CSS (as seen in the demo) to style this rectangle however you want. I'm using the stroke-dasharray property to make the border dotted.
For Stack Overflow posterity, here's the code (on the off chance that JSFiddle is down):
(function createMarquee(global){
var svgNS = 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg',
svg = document.createElementNS(svgNS,'svg'),
pt = svg.createSVGPoint();
// Usage: trackMarquee( mySVG, function(x1,y1,x2,y2){}, function(x1,y1,x2,y2){} );
// The first function (if present) will be called when the marquee is released
// The second function (if present) will be called as the marquee is changed
// Use the CSS selector `rect.marquee` to select the marquee for visual styling
global.trackMarquee = function(forElement,onRelease,onDrag){
forElement.addEventListener('mousedown',function(evt){
var point0 = getLocalCoordinatesFromMouseEvent(forElement,evt);
var marquee = document.createElementNS(svgNS,'rect');
marquee.setAttribute('class','marquee');
updateMarquee(marquee,point0,point0);
forElement.appendChild(marquee);
document.documentElement.addEventListener('mousemove',trackMouseMove,false);
document.documentElement.addEventListener('mouseup',stopTrackingMove,false);
function trackMouseMove(evt){
var point1 = getLocalCoordinatesFromMouseEvent(forElement,evt);
updateMarquee(marquee,point0,point1);
if (onDrag) callWithBBox(onDrag,marquee);
}
function stopTrackingMove(){
document.documentElement.removeEventListener('mousemove',trackMouseMove,false);
document.documentElement.removeEventListener('mouseup',stopTrackingMove,false);
forElement.removeChild(marquee);
if (onRelease) callWithBBox(onRelease,marquee);
}
},false);
};
function callWithBBox(func,rect){
var x = rect.getAttribute('x')*1,
y = rect.getAttribute('y')*1,
w = rect.getAttribute('width')*1,
h = rect.getAttribute('height')*1;
func(x,y,x+w,y+h);
}
function updateMarquee(rect,p0,p1){
var xs = [p0.x,p1.x].sort(sortByNumber),
ys = [p0.y,p1.y].sort(sortByNumber);
rect.setAttribute('x',xs[0]);
rect.setAttribute('y',ys[0]);
rect.setAttribute('width', xs[1]-xs[0]);
rect.setAttribute('height',ys[1]-ys[0]);
}
function getLocalCoordinatesFromMouseEvent(el,evt){
pt.x = evt.clientX; pt.y = evt.clientY;
return pt.matrixTransform(el.getScreenCTM().inverse());
}
function sortByNumber(a,b){ return a-b }
})(window);
You are lucky I just made this myself. I'm using jQuery SVG plugin ( http://keith-wood.name/svg.html )
$("#paper2").mousedown(function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
var pX= (ev.pageX - this.offsetLeft) * viewBox[2]/parseInt($("#paper2").css("width"));
var pY= (ev.pageY - this.offsetTop) * viewBox[3]/parseInt($("#paper2").css("height"));
var rect = svg2.rect(
pX, //X
pY, //Y
1,1, //width and height
{ //Settings, you can make the box dotted here
fill: 'black', "fill-opacity": 0.3, stroke: 'red', strokeWidth: 3, id:rect
}
)
$("#paper2").mousemove(function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
var rect= $('#rect');
var pX= (ev.pageX - this.offsetLeft) * viewBox[2]/parseInt($("#paper2").css("width")) - rect.attr("x");
var pY= (ev.pageY - this.offsetTop) * viewBox[3]/parseInt($("#paper2").css("height")) - rect.attr("y");
rect.attr("width", pX);
rect.attr("height", pY);
});
$("#paper2").mouseup(function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
var div= $("#paper2");
div.unbind('mousemove');
div.unbind('mouseup');
})
});
paper2 is a div in which I have an svg element (so the svg element and the div have the same height/width). This is how I created the svg2 element:
var svg2;
var root2;
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#paper2").svg({
onLoad: function() {
svg2= $("#paper2").svg('get');
svg2.configure({id: 'svg2'});
var div= $("#paper2");
root2= svg2.root();
$("#svg2").attr("viewBox", viewBox[0]+','+viewBox[1]+','+viewBox[2]+','+viewBox[3]);
},
settings: {}
});
}
If you not using viewbox on the svg element you don't need this on the calculations:
* viewBox[2]/parseInt($("#paper2").css("*****"));
viewbox[2] would be the viewbox width and viewbox[3] would be the viewbox height.
Im looking to build a tool to cut out a portion of a photo by letting the user create a closed shape. The user should be able to start drawing lines. From point a to point b, to c, e, d, e, f .... to eventually point a again to close the shape.
I want to use the HTML5 canvas for this. I think this could be a good fit and I'm thinking about using something like flashcanvas as fallback for IE/older browsers?
Is there any tutorial/open source application that I could use to build this sort of thing?
This is the first time I'm going to build an application using HTML5 canvas so are there any pitfalls I should worry about?
I think this is advanced usage of canvas. You have to know the basics, how to draw, how to use layers, how to manipulate pixels. Just ask google for tutorials.
Assuming you know about the previous, I'll give it a try. I've never done that before but I have an idea :
You need 3 canvas :
the one containing your picture (size of your picture)
a layer where the user draw the selection shape (size of your picture, on top of the first canvas)
a result canvas, will contain your cropped picture (same size, this one doesn't need to be displayed)
When the user click on your picture : actually, he clicks on the layer, the layer is cleared and a new line begins.
When he clicks on it another time, the previous started line is drawn and another one begins, etc... You keep doing this until you click on a non-blank pixel (which means you close the shape).
If you want the user to preview the lines, you need another canvas ( explained here http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/html5-canvas-painting/#line )
When the shape is closed, the user has to click inside or outside the shape to determine which part he wants to select. You fill that part with a semi-transparent gray for example ( flood fill explained here http://www.williammalone.com/articles/html5-canvas-javascript-paint-bucket-tool/ )
Now the layer canvas contains a colored shape corresponding to the user selection.
Get the pixel data from your layer and read through the array, every time you find a non-blank pixel at index i, you copy this pixel from your main canvas to the result canvas :
/* First, get pixel data from your 3 canvas into
* layerPixData, resultPixData, picturePixData
*/
// read the entire pixel array
for (var i = 0 ; i < layerPixData.length ; i+=4 ) {
//if the pixel is not blank, ie. it is part of the selected shape
if ( layerPixData[i] != 255 || layerPixData[i+1] != 255 || layerPixData[i+2] != 255 ) {
// copy the data of the picture to the result
resultPixData[i] = picturePixData[i]; //red
resultPixData[i+1] = picturePixData[i+1]; //green
resultPixData[i+2] = picturePixData[i+2]; //blue
resultPixData[i+3] = picturePixData[i+3]; //alpha
// here you can put the pixels of your picture to white if you want
}
}
If you don't know how pixel manipulation works, read this https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTML/Canvas/Pixel_manipulation_with_canvas
Then, use putImageData to draw the pixels to your result canvas. Job done !
If you want to move lines of your selection, way to go : http://simonsarris.com/blog/225-canvas-selecting-resizing-shape
Here is how you should do that:
The code at the following adds a canvas on top of your page and then by clicking and dragging on that the selection areas would be highlighted. What you need to do after that is to make a screenshot from the underlying page and also a mask layer out of the created image in your canvas and apply that to the screenshot, just like how it is shown in one other answers.
