Most other solutions I have found relate to images as the bounds and work through css, and I can't get them to work with a canvas.
I want to create the bounds by defining an arbitrary percent size of the canvas (e.g 2x - twice the size) that expands from the center of the canvas and then have the canvas view (red) move/pan around within the bounds (green) by mouse hovering inside the canvas - that it moves to all corners of the bounds from the center of the canvas.
like this behavior in terms of the direction with panning
http://jsfiddle.net/georgedyer/XWnUA/2/
Additionally, I would like
the solution to work with a responsive canvas sizes rather than fixed canvas sizes
the panning to be smooth using easing such as CubicInOut easing
to detect the mouse hover inside the circle drawn. Might have to change the coordinate from screen to world to get it to work properly. But maybe theirs an easier way?
formulas
Here's my attempt at figuring out the formulas to get it working! I'll just focus on just one axis (x-axis) from left to right of the mouse, but the same formulas should apply to the y-axis.
First I get the "percentX" of the mouse along the width. If the "percentX" is 0 then the "newX" for the pan will be the value of the leftSide, else if it's 1 then it'll be the rightSide of the boundsBorder (green). So the "percentX" determines which side of the boundsBorder/limit the canvas view will extend/move to.
Only problem is that this doesn't work. So my formula must be wrong. The mouse inside the circle event is also inaccurate because of my canvas translate. Combining everything together is difficult to figure out!

EDIT
I have managed to get the pan functionality to work. I just realized that all I need to do is offset by the positive and negative "widthGap"(see picture below) amount when panning. So it goes from positive "widthGap" (moves to the rght) to negative "widthGap" (moves to the left) when the "percentX" changes value like mentioned previously.
To get the smooth movement, I instead applied the lerp to the "percentX" values.
The code below is what should be replaced from the previous code above. It also shows the new variables I defined, which will make some of the variables from the previous code redundant.
UPDATED Code
var canvasBorder = new RectBorder(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height,'red');
/* widthGap is the new leftSide formula.
* it is the gap differance between border and canvas
*/
var widthGap = (canvas.width*scaleBorderFactor - canvas.width)/2;
var heightGap = (canvas.height*scaleBorderFactor - canvas.height)/2;
var boundsBorder = new RectBorder(-widthGap,-heightGap,canvas.width+widthGap*2,canvas.height+heightGap*2,'green');
var circle = new Circle(200,200,40,'blue');
/* Draw Update */

var percentX = 0, percentY = 0;

percentX = lerp(percentX,newPercentX,0.05);
percentY = lerp(percentY,newPercentY,0.05);
panX = (widthGap) * percentX + (-widthGap) * (1 - percentX);
panY = (heightGap) * percentY + (-heightGap) * (1 - percentY);
ctx.translate(-panX,-panY);

I have a canvas with multiple circles in different colours and I want add a fade out effect only to some circles. The effect is only applicable to the ones in red and green.
The code is as follows
function drawPiece(pieceX, pieceY, color) {
if (color === "rgba(0,0,0,1)" || color === "rgba(255,255,255,1)"){
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.arc(pieceX, pieceY, 50, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
ctx.fill();
ctx.lineWidth = "4";
ctx.strokeStyle = "rgba(0,0,0,1)";
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
}
else {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.arc(pieceX, pieceY, 10, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
ctx.fill();
ctx.lineWidth = "4";
ctx.strokeStyle = "rgba(0,0,0,1)";
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
setTimeout(function(){
var fadeTarget = document.getElementById("canvasGame");
var fadeEffect = setInterval(function () {
if (!fadeTarget.style.opacity) {
fadeTarget.style.opacity = 1;
}
if (fadeTarget.style.opacity > 0) {
fadeTarget.style.opacity -= 0.02;
} else {
clearInterval(fadeEffect);
}
}, 20);
},0.5);
}
}
The fade effect works but it fades out the whole canvas and not the individual circles.
How can I achieve this, that only some elements are faded out.
Thanks in advance
A great canvas 2d resource is MDN's CanvasRenderingContext2D
Animations using canvas.
You will need a render loop if you want to animate canvas content.
The render loop is called 60 times a second, if possible, drawing too much and the rate will drop below 60fps.
The main loop clears the canvas, then draws the animated content, then requests the next frame.
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop); // request the first frame to start the animation
function mainLoop() {
ctx.globalAlpha = 1; // default to 1 in case there is other content drawn
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height); // clear the canvas
drawContent(); // render the content.
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop); // request the next frame (in 1/60th second)
}
A function to draw the circle. You can remove the alpha from the color and use globalAlpha to set the transparency.
Math.TAU = Math.PI * 2; // set up 2 PI
function drawCircle(x, y, radius, color, alpha = 1) {
ctx.globalAlpha = alpha;
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.strokeStyle = "#000";
ctx.lineWidth = 4;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x, y, radius, 0, Math.TAU);
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
}
Create an object to hold a circle's description and an array to put them in
const circles = [];
function circle(x,y,r = 10, col = "#FFF", alpha = 1) {
return {x, y, r, col, alpha, alphaTarget: alpha};
}
Then in the drawContent function draw the circles one at a time
function drawContent() {
for (const circle of circles) {
if(circle.alpha !== circle.alphaTarget) {
const aStep = circle.alphaTarget - circle.alpha;
const dir = Math.sign(aStep);
circle.alpha += Math.min(Math.abs(aStep), dir * 0.02)) * dir;
}
drawCircle(circle.x, circle.y, circle.r, circle.col, circle.alpha);
}
}
Demo
The demo draws 100 circles each with their own color and alpha. The alpha is randomly selected to fade out and then back in.
You will need a render loop if you want to animate canvas content.
I move the circle so that if a device is to slow to render the content then it will be easier to see the low frame rate.
Math.TAU = Math.PI * 2; // set up 2 PI
Math.rand = (val) => Math.random() * val;
Math.randI = (val) => Math.random() * val | 0;
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop);
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
const W = canvas.width = innerWidth; // size canvas to page
const H = canvas.height = innerHeight; // size canvas to page
const circleCount = 100;
const circleFadeRate = 0.01; // per 60th second
const circles = [];
const circle = (x,y,r = 10, col = "#FFF", alpha = 1) => ({x, y, r, col, alpha, alphaTarget: alpha});
createCircles();
function createCircles() {
var i = circleCount;
while (i--) {
circles.push(circle(Math.rand(W), Math.rand(H), Math.rand(10) + 10, "#" + Math.randI(0xFFF).toString(16).padStart(3,"0"), 1));
}
circles.sort((a,b) => a.r - b.r); // big drawn last
}
function mainLoop() {
ctx.globalAlpha = 1;
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, W, H);
drawContent();
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop);
}
function drawCircle(x, y, radius, color, alpha = 1) {
ctx.globalAlpha = alpha;
ctx.fillStyle = color;
ctx.strokeStyle = "#000";
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x, y, radius, 0, Math.TAU);
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
}
function drawContent() {
for (const circle of circles) {
if(circle.alpha !== circle.alphaTarget) {
const aStep = circle.alphaTarget - circle.alpha;
const dir = Math.sign(aStep);
circle.alpha += Math.min(Math.abs(aStep), 0.02) * dir;
} else if(Math.random() < 0.01) {
circle.alphaTarget = circle.alpha < 0.7 ? 1 : Math.random() * 0.4;
}
circle.y += (circle.r - 10) / 5;
circle.y = circle.y > H + circle.r + 2 ? -(circle.r + 2) : circle.y;
drawCircle(circle.x, circle.y, circle.r, circle.col, circle.alpha);
}

Canvas is a painting surface. Meaning you can't change it after you paint it. You can only clear it, or paint over it. Just like a real painting, you can't change the color of a stroke you've already painted.
So you must clear the canvas and then redraw it all, except this time draw some circles with a different opacity. Just change the last number on those rgba values to be between 0 and 1 to change the opacity.
Store opacity in a variable somewhere:
var circleOpacity = 1;
Change the opacity and then redraw in your interval function:
circleOpactiy -= 0.2;
drawMyCanvas();
Now draw the some pieces with a fillStyle something like:
ctx.fillStyle = shouldBeFaded ? `rgba(0,0,0,${circleOpacity})` : 'rgba(0,0,0,1)'
Alternatively, you could position two canvases absolutely so they are on top of each other and you could fade the top one as you are already doing. That way you won't have to re-render the canvas constantly. If the only thing you want to do is fade some circles, this might be easier. But if you want to anything more complex on that canvas (like render a game of some sort) you'll want to redraw the canvas every frame of animation anyway.
I am trying to create multiple animated rectangles using Html Canvas with requestAnimationFrame. As for now, I managed to do exactly what I wanted with only one animated rectangle, but I can't find out how to create more rectangles that would simply be in line and follow each other with an equal distance.
Also, there's a random data (I, II or III) inside each rectangle.
Here's my actual code:
//Referencing canvas
var canvas = document.getElementById("my-canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
//Make Canvas fullscreen and responsive
function resize() {
canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
}
window.addEventListener('resize', resize, false); resize();
//FPS
var framesPerSecond = 60;
//Default Y pos to center;
var yPos = canvas.height / 2;
//Default X pos offset
var xPos = -150;
//Speed (increment)
var speed = 2;
//Our array to store rectangles objects
var rectangles = [] ;
//Dynamic Number from database
var quote = ["I", "II", "III"];
//Random number for testing purpose
var rand = quote[Math.floor(Math.random() * quote.length)];
//Draw Rectangle
function drawRectangle () {
setTimeout(function() {
requestAnimationFrame(drawRectangle);
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
//Background color
ctx.fillStyle = "yellow";
//Position, size.
var rectWidth = 70;
var rectHeigth = 55;
ctx.fillRect(xPos,yPos,rectWidth,rectHeigth);
ctx.font = "32px Arial";
ctx.textAlign = "center";
ctx.textBaseline = "middle";
ctx.fillStyle = "black";
//Data Layer
var dataLayer = ctx.fillText(rand,xPos+(rectWidth/2),yPos+(rectHeigth/2));
xPos += speed;
//Infinite loop for test
if (xPos > 1080) {
xPos = -150;
}
}, 1000 / framesPerSecond);
}
drawRectangle ();

Animating arrays of objects.
For animations you are best of using a single render function that renders all the objects once a frame, rather than create a separate render frame per object.
As for the squares there are many ways that you can get them to do what you want. It is a little difficult to answer as what you want is not completely clear.
This answer will use a rectangle object that has everything needed to be rendered and move. The rectangles will be kept in an array and the main render function will update and render each rectangle in turn.
There will be a spawn function that creates rectangles untill the limit has been reached.
// constants up the top
const quote = ["I", "II", "III"];
// function selects a random Item from an array
const randItem = (array) => array[(Math.random() * array.length) | 0];
// array to hold all rectangles
const rectangles = [];
var maxRectangles = 20;
const spawnRate = 50; // number of frames between spawns
var spawnCountdown = spawnRate;
//Referencing canvas
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var w, h; // global canvas width and height.
resizeCanvas(); // size the canvas to fit the page
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop); // this will start when all code below has been run
function mainLoop() {
// resize in the rendering frame as using the resize
// event has some issuse and this is more efficient.
if (w !== innerWidth || h !== innerHeight) {
resizeCanvas();
}
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, w, h);
spawnRectangle(); // spawns rectangles
updateAllRectangles(); // moves all active rectangles
drawAllRectangles(); // I will let you gues what this does... :P
requestAnimationFrame(mainLoop);
}
function resizeCanvas() {
w = canvas.width = innerWidth;
h = canvas.height = innerHeight;
// and reset any canvas constants
ctx.font = "32px Arial";
ctx.textAlign = "center";
ctx.textBaseline = "middle";
}

function spawnRectangle() {
if (rectangles.length < maxRectangles) {

spawnCountdown -= 1;
} else {
rectangles.push(
createRectangle({
y: canvas.height / 2, // set at center

);
spawnCountdown = spawnRate;
}
}

Just to add to the answer given some additional improvements to the code structure.
Use requestAnimationFrame to call render calls.
Don't expose properties of objects if not needed.
Don't use forEach iteration in time critical code. Use for loops.
Use constants where ever possible.
Comments that state the obvious are just noise in the source code making it harder to read. Limit comment to abstracts that may not be obvious to another programmer reading the code.
eg
// If an image is set draw it
if (this.image) {
Really is that comment of any use to anyone. Comments should help not degrade the readability of code.
Also the original code tried to set the global composite operations to soft-lights this is not a know operation. I corrected it to soft-light which can on some machines, be a very slow render operation. It may pay to selected another operation for machines that are slow. This can be done by simply monitoring the render time of particles and switching operation type is too slow.
A quick rewrite of the OP's code.

I am new learner of animation using HTML5 Canvas. I am struggling to create line drawing animation in a canvas with desired length of a line.
Here is the code
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"),
context = canvas.getContext("2d"),
width = canvas.width = window.innerWidth,
height = canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
var x = 200;
var y = 200;
draw();
update();
function draw() {
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(100, 100);
context.lineTo(x, y);
context.stroke();
}
function update() {
context.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
x = x + 1;
y = y + 1;
draw();
requestAnimationFrame(update);
}
html,
body {
margin: 0px;
}
canvas {
display: block;
}
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
The line is growing on Canvas in the above code. But how to achieve that the 200px wide line and animate the movement in x and y direction. And the same animation with multiple lines using for loop and move them in different direction.
Check the reference image ....
Need to move each line in a different direction
Thanks in advance
Find a new reference image which i want to achieve
You need to either use transforms or a bit of trigonometry.
Transforms
For each frame:
Reset transforms and translate to center
Clear canvas
Draw line from center to the right
Rotate x angle
Repeat from step 2 until all lines are drawn
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var centerX = c.width>>1;
var centerY = c.height>>1;
var maxLength = Math.min(centerX, centerY); // use the shortest direction for demo
var currentLength = 0; // current length, for animation
var lenStep = 1; // "speed" of animation
function render() {
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1, centerX, centerY);
ctx.clearRect(-centerX, -centerY, c.width, c.height);
ctx.beginPath();
for(var angle = 0, step = 0.1; angle < Math.PI * 2; angle += step) {
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
ctx.lineTo(currentLength, 0);
ctx.rotate(step);
}
ctx.stroke(); // stroke all at once
}
(function loop() {
render();
currentLength += lenStep;
if (currentLength < maxLength) requestAnimationFrame(loop);
})();
<canvas id=c></canvas>
You can use transformation different ways, but since you're learning I kept it simple in the above code.
Trigonometry
You can also calculate the line angles manually using trigonometry. Also here you can use different approaches, ie. if you want to use delta values, vectors or brute force using the math implicit.
For each frame:
Reset transforms and translate to center
Clear canvas
Calculate angle and direction for each line
Draw line
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var centerX = c.width>>1;
var centerY = c.height>>1;
var maxLength = Math.min(centerX, centerY); // use the shortest direction for demo
var currentLength = 0; // current length, for animation
var lenStep = 1; // "speed" of animation
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1, centerX, centerY);
function render() {
ctx.clearRect(-centerX, -centerY, c.width, c.height);
ctx.beginPath();
for(var angle = 0, step = 0.1; angle < Math.PI * 2; angle += step) {
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
ctx.lineTo(currentLength * Math.cos(angle), currentLength * Math.sin(angle));
}
ctx.stroke(); // stroke all at once
}
(function loop() {
render();
currentLength += lenStep;
if (currentLength < maxLength) requestAnimationFrame(loop);
})();
<canvas id=c></canvas>
Bonus animation to play around with (using the same basis as above):
var ctx = c.getContext("2d", {alpha: false});
var centerX = c.width>>1;
var centerY = c.height>>1;
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1, centerX, centerY);
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.strokeStyle = "rgba(0,0,0,0.8)";
ctx.shadowBlur = 16;
function render(time) {
ctx.globalAlpha=0.77;
ctx.fillRect(-500, -500, 1000, 1000);
ctx.globalAlpha=1;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rotate(0.025);
ctx.shadowColor = "hsl(" + time*0.1 + ",100%,75%)";
ctx.shadowBlur = 16;
for(var angle = 0, step = Math.PI / ((time % 200) + 50); angle < Math.PI * 2; angle += step) {
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
var len = 150 + 150 * Math.cos(time*0.0001618*angle*Math.tan(time*0.00025)) * Math.sin(time*0.01);
ctx.lineTo(len * Math.cos(angle), len * Math.sin(angle));
}
ctx.stroke();
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "lighter";
ctx.shadowBlur = 0;
ctx.drawImage(ctx.canvas, -centerX, -centerY);
ctx.drawImage(ctx.canvas, -centerX, -centerY);
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";
}
function loop(time) {
render(time);
requestAnimationFrame(loop);
};
requestAnimationFrame(loop);
body {margin:0;background:#222}

xcenter = 200,
ycenter = 110,
radius = 0,
radiusmax = 100,
start_angle1 = 0,
start_angle2 = 0;
function toRadians(angle) {
return angle * (Math.PI / 180);
}
function draw(x1, y1, x2, y2) {
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(x1, y1);
context.lineTo(x2, y2);
context.stroke();
}
function drawWheel(xc, yc, start_angle, count, rad) {
var inc = 360 / count;
for (var angle = start_angle; angle < start_angle + 180; angle += inc) {
var x = Math.cos(toRadians(angle)) * rad;
var y = Math.sin(toRadians(angle)) * rad;
draw(xc - x, yc - y, xc + x, yc + y);
}
}
function update() {
start_angle1 += 0.1;
start_angle2 -= 0.1;
if(radius<radiusmax) radius++;
context.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
drawWheel(xcenter, ycenter, start_angle1, 40, radius);
drawWheel(xcenter, ycenter, start_angle2, 40, radius);
requestAnimationFrame(update);

This is one that is a variable length emerging pattern. It has a length array element for each spoke in the wheel that grows at a different rate. You can play with the settings to vary the results:
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var width = canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
var height = canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
var xcenter = width/4;
var ycenter = height/2;
var radius;
var time;
if(width>height) {
radius = height*0.4;
}
else {
radius = width*0.4;
}
var start_angle1 = 0;
var start_angle2 = 0;
function toRadians (angle) {
return angle * (Math.PI / 180);
}
function draw(x1,y1,x2,y2) {
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(x1,y1);
context.lineTo(x2,y2);
context.stroke();
}
var radmax=width;
var rads = [];
var radsinc = [];
function drawWheel(xc,yc,start_angle,count,rad) {
var inc = 360/count;
var i=0;
for(var angle=start_angle; angle < start_angle+180; angle +=inc) {
var x = Math.cos(toRadians(angle)) * rads[rad+i];
var y = Math.sin(toRadians(angle)) * rads[rad+i];
draw(xc-x,yc-y,xc+x,yc+y);
rads[rad+i] += radsinc[i];
if(rads[rad+i] > radmax) rads[rad+i] = 1;
i++;
}
}
function update() {
var now = new Date().getTime();
var dt = now - (time || now);
time = now;
start_angle1 += (dt/1000) * 10;
start_angle2 -= (dt/1000) * 10;
context.clearRect(0,0,width,height);
drawWheel(xcenter,ycenter,start_angle1,50,0);
drawWheel(xcenter,ycenter,start_angle2,50,50);
requestAnimationFrame(update);
}
function init() {
for(var i=0;i<100;i++) {
rads[i] = 0;
radsinc[i] = Math.random() * 10;
