How to use LUT with JavaScript?
I tried to use this code

var img = new Image,
canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas"),
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"),

ctx.drawImage( img, 0, 0 );
// alternateImage(img, canvas, ctx);
localStorage.setItem( "savedImageData", canvas.toDataURL("image/png") );
loadNew();
}
img.src = src;
// make sure the load event fires for cached images too

for the attached LUT and it does not work properly because it only has 5 colums instead of 8. Of course I read the comment from How to use LUT with JavaScript? which says "This code only applies for 64x64x64 3DLUT images. The parameters vary if your LUT has other dimensions; the / 4, * 64, % 8, / 8 must be changed for other dimensions, but in this question's scope the LUT is 64x64x64."
i tried to do so and only ended in a mess.
What would I please have to change to make it work?

Download HTML Canvas/BLOB as a PNG

I’m programmatically creating multiple house images that look like this:
I'm doing this by simply iterating through a loop which:
Creates a new Canvas object at each iteration
Draws an SVG of the house onto this new Canvas object
Creates a PNG file from that Canvas
To get some variety going, I’m also programmatically changing the colors of each house at each iteration by simply looking up color-schemes from an Array of color-schemes I created.
All this works great.
But what I’m struggling with is getting my script to AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOAD each newly created House ".PNG" file to my hard-drive.
I’m trying to do this by creating an ANCHOR <a> tag for each of my canvas/PNG’s and then calling the “.click()” method on each (code is below) - but it’s not working.
Chrome is giving me this error:
And Firefox gives me this error:
Any idea what needs to be done here?
My code is below.
Here's the basic House SVG:
<svg id="HOUSE" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="240.26" height="311.24" viewBox="0 0 240.26 311.24">
<defs>
<style>
.roof-class, .window-class, .door-class {
stroke: #000;
stroke-miterlimit: 10;
}
</style>
</defs>
<g id="House">
<rect class="house-class" x="30.08" y="131.74" width="173.07" height="179"/>
<path d="M270,242V420H98V242H270m1-1H97V421H271V241Z" transform="translate(-67.39 -109.76)"/>
</g>
<polygon id="Roof" class="roof-class" points="1.11 131.74 239.11 131.74 117.11 0.74 1.11 131.74"/>
<rect id="Window2" class="window-class" x="145.11" y="160.74" width="30" height="42"/>
<rect id="Window1" class="window-class" x="58.61" y="160.74" width="30" height="42"/>
<rect id="Door" class="door-class" x="92.11" y="228.74" width="52" height="82"/>
</svg>
Then I have:
window.onload = function() {
alert("window.onload - yo!");
let svgHolder = document.getElementById("HOUSE");
console.log("'svgHolder' = ");
console.log(svgHolder);
// console.log("DIR of 'svgHolder' = " + svgHolder );
svgHolder.onload = function() {
console.log("==> 'svgHolder.onload' --> 'TheHouse' has been loaded!!!");
}
}
// GLOBAL VARIABLES:
const TOTAL_IMAGES = 10;
const canvasWidth = 250;
const canvasHeight = 320;
var canvasX = 0;
var canvasY = 0;
// COLOR-SCHEME VARIABLES:
var colorCounter = 0;
let houseColorSchemesArray = [
{

}
];
// CLASS-NAMES:
let classNamesToPaintArray = [".house-class", ".door-class", ".window-class", ".roof-class"];
// SVG Template:
let houseSVG = document.getElementById("HOUSE");
// var loadedImageCount = 0;
var masterHouseImagesArray = [];
function designOneHouse(theCanvas) {
console.log("= =>>In 'designOneHouse()'!\n");
let context = theCanvas.getContext("2d");
// Now GET-AT and PAINT the Individual SVG Components.
// STRATEGY:
// 1. Iterate through the Array containing all the CLASS-NAMES who's color I want to change.
// 2. For each of these classes, I'll need to iterate through all the HTML elements that are OF that class type
// (there may be like 10 elements that are all styled by the same Style; I want all of them to be updated!)
//
let colorScheme = houseColorSchemesArray[colorCounter];
console.log("==>>Current 'colorScheme' = ");
console.log(colorScheme);
console.log("\n\nNOW Going into a 'forEach' loop!");
classNamesToPaintArray.forEach(className => {
console.log("==>>In 'forEach', current 'className' = " + className);
let elementsArray = houseSVG.querySelectorAll(className);
elementsArray.forEach(element => element.style.fill = colorScheme[className]);
});
var imageData = houseSVG.outerHTML;
var DOMURL = window.URL || window.webkitURL || window;
var img = new Image();
var svg = new Blob([imageData], { type: 'image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8' });
var url = DOMURL.createObjectURL(svg);
img.onload = function () {
context.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url);
// Now ADD this new House Image to the 'masterHouseImagesArray':
masterHouseImagesArray.push(img);
console.log("\n >>>'masterHouseImagesArray' now has " + masterHouseImagesArray.length + " images in it." );
if(masterHouseImagesArray.length == TOTAL_IMAGES) {
alert("ALL IMAGES ACCOUNTED FOR!!! \n>Going to make ANCHOR TAGS NOW!!!");
createAnchorTags();
}
}
img.src = url;
// Iterate the ColorCounter - making sure we don't overflow the ColorsArrays:
colorCounter++;
if(colorCounter == houseColorSchemesArray.length) {
colorCounter = 0;
}
console.log("\n\nEXITING 'designOneHouse()'!\n");
}
Finally, I have this:
function makeCanvasGrid() {
console.log("\n\n====>In 'makeCanvasGrid()'!\n");
for(var canvasCounter = 0; canvasCounter < TOTAL_IMAGES; canvasCounter++) {
console.log("\n >FOR LOOP - canvasCounter = " + canvasCounter);
// 1. Create a new Canvas Object:
let newCanvas = document.createElement("canvas");

// Log-out just to verify the "id" property was set correctly:

// 2. Place the Canvas at (x,y) (top, left) coordinates:

newCanvas.style.left = canvasX + "px";
newCanvas.style.top = canvasY + "px";
document.body.appendChild(newCanvas);
designOneHouse(newCanvas);
// Check the current Canvas' (X, Y) coords, and if needed, reset X to 0 and SKIP to
// the next "ROW" of Canvasses:
if(canvasCounter > 0 && canvasCounter % 3 == 0) {
console.log(" >>NEXT ROW PLEASE!!!! canvasCount = ", canvasCounter);
canvasX = 0;
canvasY += canvasHeight + 20;
}
else {
canvasX += canvasWidth + 10;
console.log("\n >Increasing 'canvasX' to:" + canvasX);
}
}
}
makeCanvasGrid();
function createAnchorTags() {
console.log("\n\n==========================\n=\n=");
console.log("==>>In 'createAnchorTags()'!");
for(anchorTagsCounter = 0; anchorTagsCounter < TOTAL_IMAGES; anchorTagsCounter++) {
// 1. CREATE a new HTML "a" (anchor) TAG/Element and give it an ID:
let newAnchorTag = document.createElement("a");
newAnchorTag.id = "anchorTag#" + anchorTagsCounter;
// 2. ASSIGN a value to its "href" property:
newAnchorTag.href = masterHouseImagesArray[anchorTagsCounter].src;
console.log("\n >newAnchorTag.href = " + newAnchorTag.href);
// 3. ASSIGN a value to its "download" property:
newAnchorTag.download = "PunkPass#" + anchorTagsCounter;
// 4. APPEND this newly created ANCHOR tag/element to the page:
document.body.appendChild(newAnchorTag);
console.log(" ... ... ....");
console.log(" ->'newAnchorTag' created!");
console.log(" >'newAnchorTag.id' = " + newAnchorTag.id);
newAnchorTag.click();
}
}
Would appreciate any and all help.
Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, you should take a closer look at FileSaver.js - a convenient library for downloading files generated on the client. There is even an example of saving canvas in png file.

How to detect, that drawing a canvas object is finished?

I have following JS code (found here, on stackoverflow, and a little-bit modded), which resize image on client side using canvas.
function FileListItem(a) {
// Necesary to proper-work of CatchFile function (especially image-resizing).
// Code by Jimmy Wärting (https://github.com/jimmywarting)
a = [].slice.call(Array.isArray(a) ? a : arguments)
for (var c, b = c = a.length, d = !0; b-- && d;) d = a[b] instanceof File
if (!d) throw new TypeError('expected argument to FileList is File or array of File objects')
for (b = (new ClipboardEvent('')).clipboardData || new DataTransfer; c--;) b.items.add(a[c])
return b.files
}
function CatchFile(obj) {
// Based on ResizeImage function.
// Original code by Jimmy Wärting (https://github.com/jimmywarting)
var file = obj.files[0];
// Check that file is image (regex)
var imageReg = /[\/.](gif|jpg|jpeg|tiff|png|bmp)$/i;
if (!file) return
var uploadButtonsDiv = document.getElementById('upload_buttons_area');
// Check, that it is first uploaded file, or not
// If first, draw a div for showing status
var uploadStatusDiv = document.getElementById('upload_status_area');
if (!uploadStatusDiv) {
var uploadStatusDiv = document.createElement('div');
uploadStatusDiv.setAttribute('class', 'upload-status-area');
uploadStatusDiv.setAttribute('id', 'upload_status_area');
uploadButtonsDiv.parentNode.insertBefore(uploadStatusDiv, uploadButtonsDiv.nextSibling);
// Draw sub-div for each input field
var i;
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
var uploadStatus = document.createElement('div');
uploadStatus.setAttribute('class', 'upload-status');
uploadStatus.setAttribute('id', ('upload_status_id_commentfile_set-' + i + '-file'));
uploadStatusDiv.append(uploadStatus);
}
}
var canvasDiv = document.getElementById('canvas-area');
var currField = document.getElementById(obj.id);
var currFieldLabel = document.getElementById(('label_' + obj.id));
// Main image-converting procedure
if (imageReg.test(file.name)) {
file.image().then(img => {
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas')
canvas.setAttribute('id', ('canvas_' + obj.id));
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')
const maxWidth = 1600
const maxHeight = 1200
// Calculate new size
const ratio = Math.min(maxWidth / img.width, maxHeight / img.height)
const width = img.width * ratio + .5|0
const height = img.height * ratio + .5|0
// Resize the canvas to the new dimensions
canvas.width = width
canvas.height = height
// Drawing canvas-object is necessary to proper-work
// on mobile browsers.
// In this case, canvas is inserted to hidden div (display: none)
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height)
canvasDiv.appendChild(canvas)
// Get the binary (aka blob)
canvas.toBlob(blob => {
const resizedFile = new File([blob], file.name, file)
const fileList = new FileListItem(resizedFile)
// Temporary remove event listener since
// assigning a new filelist to the input
// will trigger a new change event...
obj.onchange = null
obj.files = fileList
obj.onchange = CatchFile
}, 'image/jpeg', 0.70)
}
)
// If file is image, during conversion show status
function ShowConvertConfirmation() {

}
}
Canvas is drawn in hidden div:
<div id="canvas-area" style="overflow: hidden; height: 0;"></div>
I am only detect, that div canvas-area is presented and basing on this, JS append another div with status.
Unfortunatelly on some mobile devices (mid-range smartphones), message will be showed before finish of drawing (it is wrong). Due to this, some uploaded images are corrupted or stay in original size.
How to prevent this?

Everything that should happen after the image has loaded, should be executed within the then callback, or called from within it.
It is important to realise that the code that is not within that callback will execute immediately, well before the drawing has completed.

How to add a 16x16 grid of pseudo-random tiles as a background in canvas (or other web language)

I have recently been working on a web based project using canvas on HTML5. The program consists of a 16x16 grid of tiles that have been pseudo-randomly generated. I am relatively new to canvas, but have built this program in several other environments, none of which however compile successfully to a web based language. this is the main code section that is giving me bother:
var A = 8765432352450986;
var B = 8765432352450986;
var M = 2576436549074795;
var X = 1;
var rx = 0;
var ry = 0;
this.image = new Image();
var i = 0;
var ii = 0;
while(i < 16)
{
while(ii < 16)
{
this.image = new Image();
this.image.src = "textures/grass.png";
x = (((A*X)+B)%M)%M;
if((x/2)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/grass.png";
}
if((x/8)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/hill.png";
}
if((x/21)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/trees.png";
}
if((x/24)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/sea.png";
}
if((x/55)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/mountain.png";
}
if((x/78)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/lake.png";
}
if((x/521)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/volcano.png";
}
if((x/1700)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/shrine.png";
}
if((x/1890)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/outpost.png";
}
if((x/1999)%1 == 0)
{
this.image.src = "textures/civ.png";
}
ctx = myGameArea.context;
ctx.drawImage(this.image,rx, ry, 20, 20);
ii ++;
rx += 20;
}
i ++;
rx = 0;
ry += 16;
}
I would like canvas to draw along the lines of this code above, effectively generating a grid like this
pre generated grid image
(please try and ignore the obvious bad tile drawings, I planned on either finding an artist or trying slightly harder on them when I get the game fully working.)
The black square is a separate movable object. I haven't got as far as implementing it in this version, but if you have any suggestions for it please tell me
in the full html file I have now, the canvas renders but none of the background (using the w3schools tutorials, I can make objects render however)
In short: how do I render a background consisting of a 16x16 grid of pseudo-random tiles on an event triggered or on page loaded, using canvas or if that does not work another web based technology
Thank you for your time.

A few problems but the main one is that you need to give an image some time to load before you can draw it to the canvas.
var image = new Image();
image.src = "image.png";
// at this line the image may or may not have loaded.
// If not loaded you can not draw it
To ensure an image has loaded you can add a onload event handler to the image
var image = new Image();
image.src = "image.png";
image.onload = function(){ ctx.drawImage(image,0,0); }
The onload function will be called after all the current code has run.
To load many images you want to know when all have loaded. One way to do this is to count the number of images you are loading, and then use the onload to count the number of images that have loaded. When the loaded count is the same as the loading count you know all have loaded and can then call a function to draw what you want with the images.
// Array of image names
const imageNames = "grass,hill,trees,sea,mountain,lake,volcano,shrine,outpost,civ".split(",");
const images = []; // array of images
const namedImages = {}; // object with named images
// counts of loaded and waiting toload images
var loadedCount = 0;
var imageCount = 0;
// tile sizes
const tileWidth = 20;
const tileHeight = 20;
// NOT SURE WHERE YOU GOT THIS FROM so have left it as you had in your code
// Would normally be from a canvas element via canvasElement.getContext("2d")
var ctx = myGameArea.context;
// seeded random function encapsulated in a singleton
// You can set the seed by passing it as an argument rand(seed) or
// just get the next random by not passing the argument. rand()
const rand = (function(){
const A = 8765432352450986;
const B = 8765432352450986; // This value should not be the same as A?? left as is so you get the same values
const M = 2576436549074795;
var seed = 1;
return (x = seed) => seed = ((A * x) + B) % M;
}());
// function loads an image with name
function addImage(name){
const image = new Image;
image.src = "textures/" + name + ".png";
image.onload = () => {
loadedCount += 1;
if(loadedCount === imageCount){
if(typeof allImagesLoaded === "function"){
allImagesLoaded();
}
}
}
imageCount += 1;
images.push(image);
namedImages[name] = image;
}
imageNames.forEach(addImage); // start loading all the images
// This function draws the tiles
function allImagesLoaded(){ /// function that is called when all the images have been loaded
var i, x, y, image;
for(i = 0; i < 256; i += 1){ // loop 16 by 16 times
ctx.drawImage(
images[Math.floor(rand()) % images.length]; //random function does not guarantee an integer so must floor
(i % 16) * tileWidth, // x position
Math.floor(i / 16) * tileHeight, // y position
tileWidth, tileHeight // width and height
);
}
}

Resizing dynamic images not working more than one time

I've got a little problem here. I've been trying to do an image gallery with JavaScript but there's something that I got a problem with. I can get the image to resize when the first image load, but as soon as I load another image, it won't resize anymore! Since the user will be able to upload a lot of different size pictures, I really need to make it work.
I've checked for ready-to-use image gallery and such and nothing was doing what I need to do.
Here's my javascript:
function changeCurrentImage(conteneur)
{
var img = conteneur.getElementsByTagName("img");
var imgUrl = img[0].src;
var imgFirstPart = imgUrl.substring(0, imgUrl.lastIndexOf('.') - 9);
var imgLastPart = imgUrl.substring(imgUrl.lastIndexOf('.'));
var currentImg = document.getElementById('currentImage');
currentImg.src = imgFirstPart + "borne" + imgLastPart;
resize(document.getElementById('currentImage'), 375, 655);
}
function resize(img, maxh, maxw) {
var ratio = maxh/maxw;
if (img.height/img.width > ratio){
// height is the problem
if (img.height > maxh){
img.width = Math.round(img.width*(maxh/img.height));
img.height = maxh;
}
} else {
// width is the problem
if (img.width > maxw){
img.height = Math.round(img.height*(maxw/img.width));
img.width = maxw;
}
}
};
Here's the HTML (using ASP.Net Repeater):
<asp:Repeater ID="rptImages" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<a href="#">
<div id="thumbnailImageContainer1" onclick="changeCurrentImage(this)">
<div id="thumbnailImageContainer2">
<img id="thumbnailImage" src="<%# SiteUrl + Eval("ImageThumbnailPath")%>?rn=<%=Random()%>" alt="Photo" onload="resize(this, 60, 105)" />
</div>
</div>
</a>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Most likely the image is not yet downloaded so img.height and img.width are not yet there. Technically you don't need to wait till the whole image is downloaded, you can poll the image in a timer until width and height are non-zero. This sounds messy but can be done nicely if you take the time to do it right. (I have an ImageLoader utility I made for this purpose....has only one timer even if it is handling multiple images at once, and calls a callback function when it has the sizes) I have to disagree with Marcel....client side works great for this sort of thing, and can work even if the images are from a source other than your server.
Edit: add ImageLoader utility:
var ImageLoader = {
maxChecks: 1000,
list: [],
intervalHandle : null,
loadImage : function (callback, url, userdata) {
var img = new Image ();
img.src = url;
if (img.width && img.height) {
callback (img.width, img.height, url, 0, userdata);
}
else {
var obj = {image: img, url: url, callback: callback,
checks: 1, userdata: userdata};
var i;
for (i=0; i < this.list.length; i++) {
if (this.list[i] == null)
break;
}
this.list[i] = obj;
if (!this.intervalHandle)
this.intervalHandle = setInterval(this.interval, 30);
}
},
// called by setInterval
interval : function () {
var count = 0;
var list = ImageLoader.list, item;
for (var i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
item = list[i];
if (item != null) {
if (item.image.width && item.image.height) {
item.callback (item.image.width, item.image.height,
item.url, item.checks, item.userdata);
ImageLoader.list[i] = null;
}
else if (item.checks > ImageLoader.maxChecks) {
item.callback (0, 0, item.url, item.checks, item.userdata);
ImageLoader.list[i] = null;
}
else {
count++;
item.checks++;
}
}
}
if (count == 0) {
ImageLoader.list = [];
clearInterval (ImageLoader.intervalHandle);
delete ImageLoader.intervalHandle;
}
}
};
Example usage:
var callback = function (width, height, url, checks, userdata) {
// show stuff in the title
document.title = "w: " + width + ", h:" + height +
", url:" + url + ", checks:" + checks + ", userdata: " + userdata;
var img = document.createElement("IMG");
img.src = url;
// size it to be 100 px wide, and the correct
// height for its aspect ratio
img.style.width = "100px";
img.style.height = ((height/width)*100) + "px";
document.body.appendChild (img);
};
ImageLoader.loadImage (callback,
"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/" +
"1/19/Caerulea3_crop.jpg/800px-Caerulea3_crop.jpg", 1);
ImageLoader.loadImage (callback,
"http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/" +
"8/85/Calliphora_sp_Portrait.jpg/402px-Calliphora_sp_Portrait.jpg", 2);

With the way you have your code setup, I would try and call your resize function from an onload event.
function resize() {
var img = document.getElementById('currentImage');
var maxh = 375;
var maxw = 655;
var ratio = maxh/maxw;
if (img.height/img.width > ratio){
// height is the problem
if (img.height > maxh){
img.width = Math.round(img.width*(maxh/img.height));
img.height = maxh;
}
} else {
// width is the problem
if (img.width > maxw){
img.height = Math.round(img.height*(maxw/img.width));
img.width = maxw;
}
}
};
function changeCurrentImage(conteneur)
{
var img = conteneur.getElementsByTagName("img");
img.onload = resize;
var imgUrl = img[0].src;
var imgFirstPart = imgUrl.substring(0, imgUrl.lastIndexOf('.') - 9);
var imgLastPart = imgUrl.substring(imgUrl.lastIndexOf('.'));
var currentImg = document.getElementById('currentImage');
currentImg.src = imgFirstPart + "borne" + imgLastPart;
}
I would play around with that. Maybe use global variables for your maxH/W and image ID(s);

#Comments: No, I can't do that server side since it would refresh the page everytime someone click on a new image. That would be way too bothersome and annoying for the users.
As for the thumbnails, those image are already saved in the appropriate size. Only the big image that shows is about 33% of its size. Since we already have 3 images PER uploaded images, I didn't want to upload a 4th one for each upload, that would take too much server space!
As for the "currentImage", I forgot to add it, so that might be helful lol:
<div id="currentImageContainer">
<div id="currentImageContainer1">
<div id="currentImageContainer2">
<img id="currentImage" src="#" alt="" onload="resize(this, 375, 655)" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
#rob: I'll try the ImageLoader class, that might do the trick.

I found an alternative that is working really well. Instead of changing that IMG width and height, I delete it and create a new one:
function changeCurrentImage(conteneur)
{
var thumbnailImg = conteneur.getElementsByTagName("img");
var thumbnailImgUrl = thumbnailImg[0].src;
var newImgUrl = thumbnailImgUrl.replace("thumbnail", "borne");
var currentImgDiv = document.getElementById('currentImageContainer2');
var currentImg = currentImgDiv.getElementById("currentImage");
if (currentImg != null)
{
currentImgDiv.removeChild(currentImg);
}
var newImg = document.createElement("img");
newImageDiv = document.getElementById('currentImageContainer2');
newImg.id = "currentImage";
newImg.onload = function() {
Resize(newImg, 375, 655);
newImageDiv.appendChild(newImg);
}
newImg.src = newImgUrl;
}
Also, in case people wonder, you MUST put the .onload before the .src when assigning an a new source for an image!
