want to style the all dots of pre built html canvas background

The code is different, I apologize may I didn't ask the question the right way, you can understand well in principle, When I'm hovering the dots get colours and connect to each other, other dots are invisible, I want that all dots should be visible all time. live example available on codepen, https://codepen.io/tati420/pen/RwBamQo?editors=1111

If I understand your question correctly, you just want to make sure that every point.active = 1 and point.circle.active = 1:
function animate() {
if (animateHeader) {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
for (var i in points) {
points[i].active = 1;
points[i].circle.active = 1;
drawLines(points[i]);
points[i].circle.draw();
}
}
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}

Use same animation for multiple elements

I have this working canvas javascript animation but i would like to use it multiple times, currently it's only possible to have one canvas element with the id "stars" and use that one. Could i perhaps add a class for them instead and get the elements class and loop or what would be my best solution for achieving this? I would like to make this work without repeating to much since i could end up using the animation on different pages.

id="identifier" is unique
class="identifier" could be shared by a list of items
As you mention using class could be an option but you'll need to change your code to select all elements by that class before:
$(".identifier").each(function(a,b)
{
// Actions for each element
}
With javascript:
var elementList = document.getElementsByClassName("identifier");
var elementListSize=elementList.length;
for(var i=0;i<elementListSize;i++) {
// Actions for each element (elementList[i])
}

(Three.js) Change color on particles forming image

I'm currently working on a particle system where the particles move around and create pictures with some seconds in between (almost like a slide). I know where to put the color code to change the color on the particles forming the pictures bur for some reason it doesn't work. I therefore suspect that the problem is somewhere else in the script but the question is where...

How to make blur effect particles in javascript

Hi I want to make a blur effect particle like this:
Can I use shadowBlur and shadowOffsetX/shadowOffsetY to do this? The actual shine will glow and fade a little bit repeatedly, so if I have to write some kind of animation how can I achieve this?
I have tried this code (jsfiddle example) but it doesn't look like the effect. So I wonder how to blur and glow the particle at the same time?
const canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
const ra = window.requestAnimationFrame
|| window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame
|| window.mozRequestAnimationFrame
|| window.oRequestAnimationFrame
|| window.msRequestAnimationFrame
|| function(callback) {
window.setTimeout(callback, 1000 / 60);
};
class Particle {
constructor(options) {
this.ctx = options.context;
this.x = options.x;
this.y = options.y;
this.radius = options.radius;
this.lightSize = this.radius;
this.color = options.color;
this.lightDirection = true;
}
glow() {
const lightSpeed = 0.5;
this.lightSize += this.lightDirection ? lightSpeed : -lightSpeed;
if (this.lightSize > this.radius || this.lightSize < this.radius) {
this.lightDirection = !this.lightDirection;
}
}
render() {
this.ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
this.glow();
this.ctx.globalAlpha = 0.5;
this.ctx.fillStyle = this.color;
this.ctx.beginPath();
this.ctx.arc(this.x, this.y, this.lightSize,
0, Math.PI * 2
);
this.ctx.fill();
this.ctx.globalAlpha = 0.62;
this.ctx.beginPath();
this.ctx.arc(this.x, this.y, this.radius * 0.7, 0, Math.PI * 2);
this.ctx.shadowColor = this.color;
this.ctx.shadowBlur = 6;
this.ctx.shadowOffsetX = 0;
this.ctx.shadowOffsetY = 0;
this.ctx.fill();
}
}
var particle = new Particle({
context: ctx,
x: 60,

});
function run() {
particle.render();
ra(run);
}

There are several ways to do this. For a particle system my option is to pre render the blur using a blur filter. A common filter is the convolution filter. It uses a small array to determine the amount neighboring pixels contribute to each pixel of the image. You are best to look up convolution functions to understand it.
Wiki Convolution and Wiki Gaussian blur for more info.
I am not much of a fan of the standard Gaussian blur or the convolution filter used so in the demo snippet below you can find my version that I think creates a much better blur. The convolution blur filter is procedurally created and is in the imageTools object.
To use create a filter pass an object with properties size the blur amount in pixels and power is the strength. Lower powers is less spread on the blur.
// image must be loaded or created
var blurFilter = imageTools.createBlurConvolutionArray({size:17,power:1}); // size must be greater than 2 and must be odd eg 3,5,7,9...
// apply the convolution filter on the image. The returned image may be a new
//image if the input image does not have a ctx property pointing to a 2d canvas context
image = imageTools.applyConvolutionFilter(image,blurFilter);
In the demo I create a image, draw a circle on it, copy it and pad it so that there is room for the blur. Then create a blur filter and apply it to the image.
When I render the particles I first draw all the unblurred images, then draw the blurred copies with the ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "screen"; so that they have a shine. To vary the amount of shine I use the ctx.globalAlpha to vary the intensity of the rendered blurred image. To improve the FX I have drawn the blur image twice, once with oscillating scale and next at fixed scale and alpha.
The demo is simple, image tools can be found at the top. Then there is some stuff to setup the canvas and handle resize event. Then there is the code that creates the images, and apply the filters. Then starts the render adds some particles and renders everything.
Look in the function drawParticles for how I draw everything.
imageTools has all the image functions you will need. The imageTools.applyConvolutionFilter will apply any filter (sharpen, outline, and many more) you just need to create the appropriate filter. The apply uses the photon count colour model so gives a very high quality result especially for blurs type effects. (though for sharpen you may want to get in and change the squaring of the RGB values, I personally like it other do not)
The blur filter is not fast so if you apply it to larger images It would be best that you break it up in so you do not block the page execution.
A cheap way to get a blur is to copy the image to blur to a smaller version of itself, eg 1/4 then render it scaled back to normal size, the canvas will apply bilinear filtering on the image give a blur effect. Not the best quality but for most situations it is indistinguishable from the more sophisticated blur that I have presented.
UPDATE
Change the code so that the particles have a bit of a 3dFX to show that the blur can work up to larger scales. The blue particles are 32 by 32 image and the blur is 9 pixels with the blur image being 50by 50 pixels.

javascript draw particles

How can I draw around 50000 particles in a browser and then just stop, I know how to create unending animations of particles, but how can I create one that once its done drawing the particles it just stops.
Edit
So essintially I want to time the drawing of the particles, however when i attack a timer, it doesnt get the change because the animation doesnt stop.
var scene = new Scene(),
particles = [],
len = 40000,
height = document.body.offsetHeight,
width = document.body.offsetWidth;
function Particle() {
this.x = 0;
this.y = 0;
this.size = 0;
this.depth = 0;
this.vy = 0;
}
Particle.prototype = {
constructor: Particle,
update: function (width, height) {
if (this.y > height) {
this.y = 1 - this.size;
}
this.y += this.vy;
}
};
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
var particle = new Particle();
particle.x = Math.random() * width;
particle.y = Math.random() * height;
particle.depth = Math.random() * 10 | 0;
particle.size = (particle.depth + 1) / 8;
particle.vy = (particle.depth * .25) + 1 / Math.random();
particles.push(particle);
}
function falling_particles(scene) {
for (var i = 0, l = particles.length; i < l; i++) {
var particle = particles[i];
for (var w = 0; w < particle.size; w++) {
for (var h = 0; h < particle.size; h++) {
var pData = (~~(particle.x + w) + (~~(particle.y + h) * scene.width)) * 4;
scene.idata.data[pData] = 255;
scene.idata.data[pData + 1] = 255;
scene.idata.data[pData + 2] = 255;
scene.idata.data[pData + 3] = 255;
}
}
particle.update(scene.width, scene.height);
}
return scene.idata;
}
scene.setup(document.getElementById('canvas'), falling_particles, width, height, !0);
scene.animate();
window.onresize = function () {
height = scene.height = scene.canvas.height = document.body.offsetHeight;
width = scene.width = scene.canvas.width = document.body.offsetWidth;
};

I'm not sure, what exactly you want to do, but if you add
setTimeout(function(){
scene.paused = true;
},1000);
Then all the drawing will stop after a second.
