I have a image gallery populated with images using PHP from a local directory. I want to select an image by clicking on it and displaying it on a canvas to enable users to draw on the image.
The gallery is generated using php and the following are parts of html and php codes
HTML
<div id="loaded_img_panel" name="loaded_img_panel" class="dragscroll" >
</div>
PHP:
echo '<img src="'.$num.'" id="thumbNails"/>';
I am able to display images without a trouble.
I have created a canvas to display the image.
HTML-CANVAS
<canvas id="myCanvas"></canvas>
The following is the javascript that I have.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.load = function() {
var image = document.getElementById("thumbNails");
image.addEventListener("click", fetchImage);
function fetchImage(e) {
fill_canvas(image).src = e.target.src
}
function fill_canvas(img) {
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
canvas.width = img.width();
canvas.height = img.height();
ctx.drawImage(img, 0,0)
}
}
</script>
You must be using window.onload instead of window.load
window.onload = function() {
var image = document.getElementById("thumbNails");
image.addEventListener("click", fetchImage);
function fetchImage(e) {
fill_canvas(image);
}
function fill_canvas(img) {
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
canvas.width = img.width;
canvas.height = img.height;
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0)
}
}
<div id="loaded_img_panel" name="loaded_img_panel" class="dragscroll">
</div>
<hr>
<canvas id="myCanvas"></canvas>
<hr>
<img src="https://tpc.googlesyndication.com/simgad/9841060568868240804" id="thumbNails" width="100" />
Ok. This is how I resolved this.
window.onload = function() {
var x = document.getElementById("mycanvas");
canvas = x.getContext('2d');
var thumbNails = document.getElementById("loaded_img_panel");
var pic = new Image();
thumbNails.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
pic.src = event.target.src;
pic.addEventListener("load", function(){canvas.drawImage(pic,0,0)})
}, false);
}
Instead of using my image id which was thumbNail, I used the div id of my image gallery.

I would like to combine two images (one uploaded from the device and another from the website) and export them as one image. The image uploaded from the device would be the background image and the one from the website is a logo to make in to a watermark in the bottom corner.
Is this possible and if so where should I start?
Thank you
I have been able to add an image on top of another image using the Javascript code below:
function watermarkLogo(elemImage) {
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
canvas.width = elemImage.naturalWidth;
canvas.height = elemImage.naturalHeight;
var myVar = canvas.getContext("2d");
var img1 = loadImage(elemImage.src, myFunction);
var img2 = loadImage('icon.png', myFunction);
var numberOfImages = 0;
function myFunction() {
numberOfImages += 1;
if(numberOfImages == 2) {
myVar.drawImage(img1, 0, 0);
myVar.globalAlpha = 0.5;
var widthOffset = (canvas.width/3)*2;
var heightOffset = (canvas.height/3)*2;
myVar.drawImage(img2, widthOffset-50, heightOffset-50, 100, 100);
}
}
function loadImage(src, onload) {
var img = new Image();
img.onload = onload;
img.src = src;
return img;
}
}

I tried placing an image inside a canvas element, but it won't display on the browser. I know the image tag works because it's displayed if I place it outside of the canvas element. Also, if I inspect the canvas element, I can see that the image is inside, but its dimensions are 0 by 0. Can somebody explain why this isn't working?
EDIT: My original code added the image through javascript, but it wouldn't show on the canvas. It was giving me the same problems as above. But I just realized I was missing "onload".
original code:
var coinImage = new Image();
coinImage.src = "coin.png";
var sCanvas = document.getElementById('spriteCanvas');
function Sprite(canvas, width, height, image){
this.context = canvas.getContext("2d");
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
this.image = image;
}
Sprite.prototype.render = function() {
var that = this;
this.context.drawImage(that.image, 0, 0);
}
function init() {
var coin = new Sprite(sCanvas, 100, 100, coinImage);
coin.render();
}
init();
editted code:
var coinImage = new Image();
coinImage.src = "coin.png";
var sCanvas = document.getElementById('spriteCanvas');
function Sprite(canvas, width, height, image){
this.context = canvas.getContext("2d");
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
this.image = image;
}
Sprite.prototype.render = function() {
var that = this;
this.context.drawImage(that.image, 0, 0);
}
coinImage.onload = function () {
var coin = new Sprite(sCanvas, 100, 100, coinImage);
coin.render();
}
This isn't how a <canvas> tag works. If you want your image to appear in your canvas, you will have to use JavaScript to place the pixels of the image into your canvas.
<canvas>s are exactly what they state: canvases. They are an element for you to draw on programmatically. If you just want to display an image on a page, you don't need a canvas, you just need the <img> tag. In fact, elements should not be placed in <canvas>.
Take a look at CanvasRenderingContext2D.drawImage() and this tutorial: HTML5 Canvas Image Tutorial.
And this snippet:
var canvas = document.getElementById("painting"),
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"),
image = new Image();
image.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(image, 30, 50);
};
image.src = "http://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/img/sprites.png?v=10a9e8743fb0";
<canvas id="painting" width="300" height="300"></canvas>
To draw an image on a canvas, use the following method:
drawImage(image,x,y)
If the image you want to draw is not in the DOM already you can load an image directly from a URL with a few lines of javascript.
function loadAndDrawImage(url)
{
// Create an image object. This is not attached to the DOM and is not part of the page.
var image = new Image();
// When the image has loaded, draw it to the canvas
image.onload = function()
{
// draw image...
}
// Now set the source of the image that we want to load
image.src = url;
}
loadAndDrawImage("http://www---.png");
I'm basically trying to get the selected image file from a input dialog and set it to a canvas that's in my HTML. However, the image gets cropped and only a portion of the image is shown.
Javascript:
function onSS1Change(file) {
var ctx = document.getElementById('canvas').getContext('2d');
var img = new Image;
img.onload = function () {
ctx.drawImage(img, 20, 20);
}
img.src = URL.createObjectURL(file.target.files[0]);
}
HTML:
<input id="ss1-inputdiag" type="file" onchange="onSS1Change(event)" />

I need to get the original height and width
What am I doing wrong?
jsFiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/CanvasCode/tdy9tqfh/2/
Just update the canvas height and width to fit the image, also you were drawing your image at position x 20 and y 20 so all your images will be slightly cut off at the right side and bottom.
var input = document.getElementById('input');
input.addEventListener('change', handleFiles);
function handleFiles(e) {
var c = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = c.getContext('2d');
var img = new Image;
img.src = URL.createObjectURL(e.target.files[0]);
img.onload = function() {
c.width = img.width;
c.height = img.height;
ctx.drawImage(img, 0,0);
alert('the image is drawn');
}
}
I try to build a javascript code, to draw a image on canvas, but I don't know where go wrong.
That is my code:
<body>
<canvas id = "my_canvas"></canvas>
<script>
function setup(){
var canvas = document.getElementById('my_canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.width = 800;
canvas.height = 600;
var image = new Image();
image.src = 'a.png';
ctx.drawImage(image,5,5);
};
window.onload = setup;
setup();
</script>
The question is, if I put a line of code setup(); at end then the image is correctly draw, I don't know why.
Thanks.
The problem is that image is loaded asynchronously, so if you set the source and draw it immediately then the image bits are not yet available and nothing is drawn.
You have to wait for the image to load before being able to draw it on a canvas.
Changing the code to
image.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(image, 5, 5);
};
image.src = "a.png";
should work as expected.
The image is loading asynchronously. This code will work:
JavaScript:
function setup(){
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.width = 800;
canvas.height = 600;
var image = new Image();
image.onload = function () {
ctx.drawImage(image,5,5);
};
image.src = 'a.png';
}
window.onload = setup;
