Cursor wont align with HTML Canvas on longer and thinner images

I have a canvas that I am trying to draw on whenever I use square images with dimensions like such:
Width:2925
Height:2354
My cursor works correctly. When I use images with dimensions like Width: 585 Height: 2354 My cursor refuses to align correctly. Here is my JS I am using:
var canvas;
var ctx;
var canvasOffset;
var offsetX;
var offsetY;
var isDrawing = false;
var drag = false;
var rect = {};
var background = new Image();
//canvas.height = background.height;
//canvas.width = background.width;
var aspectRatio;
var parentOffsetWidth;
var parentOffsetHeight;
// Make sure the image is loaded first otherwise nothing will draw.
$(background).on("load", function () {
//ctx.drawImage(background,0,0);
//ctx.width = background.width;
//drawImageProp(ctx, background, 0, 0, background.width, background.height);.
//coverImg(background, 'cover');
//coverImg(background, 'contain');
//ctx.drawImage(background, 0, 0, background.width,background.height,0, 0, ctx.width, ctx.height);
console.log("--background img load--");
parentOffsetWidth = document.getElementById("imgGrid").offsetWidth;
parentOffsetHeight = document.getElementById("imgGrid").offsetHeight;
console.log("w:" + parentOffsetWidth);
console.log("h:" + parentOffsetHeight);
if (parentOffsetWidth < 500) {
//if img is to small to render properly
//parentOffsetWidth = 500;
}
if (background != null) {
canvas.height = (background.height / background.width) * parentOffsetWidth;
canvas.width = parentOffsetWidth;
}
//coverImg(background, 'cover');
drawImageProp(ctx, background, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height, offsetX, offsetY);
})
$(document).ready(function () {
//ctx.drawImage(background,0,0);
})
function Load(backgroundImgSrc) {
console.log("--load--");

aspectRatio = background.height / background.width;

}
// default offset is center
offsetX = typeof offsetX === "number" ? offsetX : 0.5;

// keep bounds [0.0, 1.0]
if (offsetX < 0) offsetX = 0;
if (offsetY < 0) offsetY = 0;
if (offsetX > 1) offsetX = 1;
if (offsetY > 1) offsetY = 1;
var iw = img.width,
ih = img.height,
r = Math.min(w / iw, h / ih),

})
console.log(zoomedGridSizes);

Load(background.src);
}
And here is my HTML code I am using .Net Blazor as well to achieve this that is why there are variables in my HTML it should not effect my javascript:
<canvas id="canvas" style="background-image:url('api/contentpreview/blocks/#b.PageId/#b.LocalIndex/#Resolution/#zone'); width:100%; height:auto; background-size:cover;" #onload='() => LoadImg("api/contentpreview/blocks/" + b.PageId + "/" + b.LocalIndex + "/" + Resolution + "/" + zone)' />
initCanvas = true;
canvasImg = "api/contentpreview/blocks/" + b.PageId + "/" + b.LocalIndex + "/" + Resolution + "/" + zone;

Moving an Object according to mouse coordinates

How do I get the following script to work? I wanted to be able to move the ship to the mouse coordinates. The space itself should move and the ship should stay in the centerview.
Would be great if you can modify the script as everybody writes his functions different.
Finally if the button is clicked I want the ship to move to that destination
I tried it when it worked and the ship never moved and I don't know if it has to do with the prototype.update function or not.
Is prototype.update or .render the same as if I would write this.update or this.render?
<script>
function domanDown(evt)
{
switch (evt)
{
case 38: /* Up arrow was pressed or button pressed*/
offsetY+=100 ;
break;
case 40: /* Down arrow was pressed or button pressed*/
offsetY-=100;
break;
case 37: /* Left arrow was pressedor button pressed*/
offsetX+=100;
break;
case 39: /* Right arrow was pressed or button pressed*/
offsetX-=100;
break;

Why is camera's position not correctly calculated (canvas)

I am making a clone of agar.io and I am stuck in my code. I can't understand why my camera's position is not correctly calculated. I want my camera's position to half the vector between the farthest blob and the closest blob.

Instead of computing everything relative to your camera, use your camera to set the global transformation matrix of your canvas, and only for this.
This way, your blobs' updates will be cleaner, and your camera easier to manage.
Now to get the middle position between two points, do (pt1 + pt2) / 2.
You were not clear in your question, if fartherstX and fartherstY should represent the same blob. In your code it wasn't, so I didn't change it.
Also, I didn't gone into all your logics, but beware NaN values, I got some while doing the edit.
function draw() {
var cw = ctx.canvas.width / 2;
var ch = ctx.canvas.height / 2;
// reset transform to clear the canvas
ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0);
ctx.fillStyle = "#fff";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, width, height);
// here we really set the camera position
ctx.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, -camera.x + cw, -camera.y + ch);

Canvas starts to lag after some time

Reproduction: focus your mouse on canvas , then spin your mouse in circles for ~15 sec. At first you'll notice how things are smooth. After some time it starts to lose its smoothness and becomes really laggy.
Part of the js function came from the following answer
Make moving Rect more smooth
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = document.getElementById('canvas').getContext('2d');
var x;
var y;
var tx = tx || 0;
var ty = ty || 0;
var xDir;
var yDir;
function followMouse(e) {
x = e.offsetX;
y = e.offsetY;
moveObject();
}
function moveObject() {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
var scale = 0.2 * Math.max(canvas.width, canvas.height);
xDir = 0;
yDir = 0;
xDir = (x - tx) / scale;
yDir = (y - ty) / scale;
tx = tx != x ? tx + xDir : tx;
ty = ty != y ? ty + yDir : ty;
ctx.fillRect(tx - 25, ty + 25, 50, 10);
if (tx != x || ty != y) {
window.requestAnimationFrame(moveObject);
}
}
function resizeCanvas() {
canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
};
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', _.throttle(function(e) {
followMouse(e);
}, 30));
window.addEventListener('resize', resizeCanvas, false);
resizeCanvas();

This happens as for each mousemove a new loop is started. These loops will accumulate and eventually slow things down.
To solve you can implement cancelAnimationFrame() by doing:
...
var timer;
function followMouse(e) {
x = e.offsetX;
y = e.offsetY;
cancelAnimationFrame(timer);
moveObject();
}
Then store timer reference in the main loop:
...
timer = requestAnimationFrame(moveObject);
This will abort the current request for frame update and allow you to start a new loop without accumulating calls.
For this reason you would also have to initialize x and y since they are not initialized otherwise until the mouse has been moved (which is of course no guarantee).
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
Note: A side-effect of this correction is that now the movement is only calculated once per frame. When accumulated the movement got calculated many times per frame. To compensate adjust the scale to a lower value (shown below).
Modified example
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
var tx = tx || 0;
var ty = ty || 0;
var xDir;
var yDir;
var timer;
function followMouse(e) {
x = e.clientX;
y = e.clientY;
cancelAnimationFrame(timer);
moveObject();
}
function moveObject() {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
var scale = 0.02 * Math.max(canvas.width, canvas.height);
xDir = 0;
yDir = 0;
xDir = (x - tx) / scale;
yDir = (y - ty) / scale;
tx = tx != x ? tx + xDir : tx;
ty = ty != y ? ty + yDir : ty;
ctx.fillRect(tx - 25, ty + 25, 50, 10);
if (tx != x || ty != y) {
timer = requestAnimationFrame(moveObject);
}
}
function resizeCanvas() {
canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
};
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', _.throttle(function(e) {
followMouse(e);
}, 30));
window.addEventListener('resize', resizeCanvas, false);

Html5 canvas image on click

I'm having a problem whit my code.
I draw some circles in a circular path and I expect when to click on them to return something other than 0 in firebug console but that's not happening;
I don't know what is wrong with my code and i hope someone will tell me.
Here's my code:
var canvas, ctx;
var circle_data = [];
function circles(x, y, radius) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.radius = radius;
circle_data.push(this);
}
circles.prototype = {
draw: function (context) {
context.beginPath();
context.arc(this.x, this.y, this.radius / 5, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
context.fillStyle = "red";
context.fill();
}
}
function draw() {
ctx.translate(250, 250);
for (var n = 0; n < 10; n++) {
var radi = (Math.PI / 180);
var x = Math.sin(radi * n * 36) * 70;
var y = Math.cos(radi * n * 36) * 70;
var radius = 50;
var thiscircle = new circles(x, y, radius);
thiscircle.draw(ctx);
}
}
function mouseDown(e) {
var img_data = ctx.getImageData(e.pageX, e.pageY, 1, 1);
console.log(img_data.data[3]);
}
function init() {
canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'),
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', mouseDown, false);
}
init();
It dosen't matter is i use data[3];
I tried whit console.log(img_data.data[0]+" "+img_data.data[1]+" "+img_data.data[2]);
Still getting 0 0 0

Your detecting the mouse position relative to the page and not the canvas, you need to get the position of the canvas on the page and subtract that from the X and Y of the mouse to find you position relative to the canvas. I use functions similar to the ones below when working with canvas.
getOffsetPosition = function(obj){
/*obj is the Canvas element*/
var offsetX = offsetY = 0;
if (obj.offsetParent) {
do {
offsetX += obj.offsetLeft;
offsetY += obj.offsetTop;
}while(obj = obj.offsetParent);
}
return [offsetX,offsetY];
}
getMouse = function(e,canvasElement){
OFFSET = getOffsetPosition(canvasElement);
mouse_x = (e.pageX || (e.clientX + document.body.scrollLeft + document.documentElement.scrollLeft)) - OFFSET[0];
mouse_y = (e.pageY || (e.clientY + document.body.scrollTop + document.documentElement.scrollTop)) - OFFSET[1];
return [mouse_x,mouse_y];
}
The following code works.
