Image transform property not rotating image [duplicate]

I am experimenting with animation in <canvas> and can't work out how to draw an image at an angle. The desired effect is a few images drawn as usual, with one image rotating slowly. (This image is not at the centre of the screen, if that makes any difference).

You need to modify the transformation matrix before drawing the image that you want rotated.
Assume image points to an HTMLImageElement object.
var x = canvas.width / 2;
var y = canvas.height / 2;
var width = image.width;
var height = image.height;
context.translate(x, y);
context.rotate(angleInRadians);
context.drawImage(image, -width / 2, -height / 2, width, height);
context.rotate(-angleInRadians);
context.translate(-x, -y);
The x, y coordinates is the center of the image on the canvas.

It is interesting that the first solution worked for so many people, it didn't give the result I needed.
In the end I had to do this:
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(positionX, positionY);
ctx.rotate(angle);
ctx.translate(-x,-y);
ctx.drawImage(image,0,0);
ctx.restore();
where (positionX, positionY) is the coordinates on the canvas that I want the image to be located at and (x, y) is the point on the image where I want the image to rotate.

I have written a function (based on Jakub's answer) that allows user to paint an image in a X,Y position based on a custom rotation in a custom rotation point:
function rotateAndPaintImage ( context, image, angleInRad , positionX, positionY, axisX, axisY ) {
context.translate( positionX, positionY );
context.rotate( angleInRad );
context.drawImage( image, -axisX, -axisY );
context.rotate( -angleInRad );
context.translate( -positionX, -positionY );
}
Then you can call it like this:
var TO_RADIANS = Math.PI/180;
ctx = document.getElementById("canvasDiv").getContext("2d");
var imgSprite = new Image();
imgSprite.src = "img/sprite.png";
// rotate 45º image "imgSprite", based on its rotation axis located at x=20,y=30 and draw it on context "ctx" of the canvas on coordinates x=200,y=100
rotateAndPaintImage ( ctx, imgSprite, 45*TO_RADIANS, 200, 100, 20, 30 );

html5 canvas redraw on resize

I have two canvas elements and need them to be resized on buttons click.
<div class="sDetails"><div>
<div id="canvasDiv" style="width: 310px;"><canvas id="canvasGraph"></canvas></div></div>
<div class="kDetails"><div><div>
<div id="canvasDiv" style="width: 310px; height: 240px;"><canvas id="canvasGraph"></canvas></div></div>
and the script:
var sketch;var sketch_sl;var onPaint;var canvas=null;var ctx=null;var tmp_ctx=null;
function drawCanvas(div) {
canvas = document.querySelector(div + " #canvasGraph");
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
sketch = document.querySelector(div + " #canvasDiv");
sketch_sl = getComputedStyle(sketch);
canvas.width = parseInt(sketch_style.getPropertyValue('width'));
canvas.height = parseInt(sketch_style.getPropertyValue('height'));
tmp_canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
tmp_ctx = tmp_canvas.getContext('2d');
tmp_canvas.id = 'tmp_canvas';
tmp_canvas.width = canvas.width;
tmp_canvas.height = canvas.height;
sketch.appendChild(tmp_canvas);
the redraw function:
// here I must redraw my lines resized 2 times ( *cScale ) where cScale=2 or =1
function drawScales(ctx, canvas)
ctx.strokeStyle = 'green';
ctx.fillStyle = 'green';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(5, 0);
ctx.lineTo(0, canvas.height);
scaleStep = 24*cScale;
for some reason it works really bad, old positions stay.
Is there a way to completely delete the whole canvas and append it or redraw it completely?
I tried canvas.width=canvas.width, tried ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);tmp_ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);, tried $(".sDetails #canvasGraph")[0].reset();
logically, drawCanvas(".sDetails");drawLines(ctx, canvas); should redraw it from scratch but it will not.

Resize the canvas element's width & height and use context.scale to redraw the original drawings at their newly scaled size.
Resizing the canvas element will automatically clear all drawings off the canvas.
Resizing will also automatically reset all context properties back to their default values.
Using context.scale is useful because then the canvas will automatically rescale the original drawings to fit on the newly sized canvas.
Important: Canvas will not automatically redraw the original drawings...you must re-issue the original drawing commands.
Illustration with 2 canvases at same size (their sizes are controlled by range controls)
Illustration with left canvas resized larger
Illustration with right canvas resized larger
Here's example code and a Demo. This demo uses range elements to control the resizing, but you can also do the resizing+redrawing inside window.onresize
var canvas1=document.getElementById("canvas1");
var ctx1=canvas1.getContext("2d");
var canvas2=document.getElementById("canvas2");
var ctx2=canvas2.getContext("2d");
var originalWidth=canvas1.width;
var originalHeight=canvas1.height;
var scale1=1;
var scale2=1;
$myslider1=$('#myslider1');
$myslider1.attr({min:50,max:200}).val(100);
$myslider1.on('input change',function(){
var scale=parseInt($(this).val())/100;
scale1=scale;
redraw(ctx1,scale);
});
$myslider2=$('#myslider2');
$myslider2.attr({min:50,max:200}).val(100);
$myslider2.on('input change',function(){
var scale=parseInt($(this).val())/100;
scale2=scale;
redraw(ctx2,scale);
});
draw(ctx1);
draw(ctx2);
function redraw(ctx,scale){
// Resizing the canvas will clear all drawings off the canvas
// Resizing will also automatically clear the context
// of all its current values and set default context values
ctx.canvas.width=originalWidth*scale;
ctx.canvas.height=originalHeight*scale;
// context.scale will scale the original drawings to fit on
// the newly resized canvas
ctx.scale(scale,scale);
draw(ctx);
// always clean up! Reverse the scale
ctx.scale(-scale,-scale);
}
function draw(ctx){
// note: context.scale causes canvas to do all the rescaling
// math for us, so we can always just draw using the
// original sizes and x,y coordinates
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(150,50);
ctx.lineTo(250,150);
ctx.lineTo(50,150);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle='skyblue';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(150,50,20,0,Math.PI*2);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(250,150,20,0,Math.PI*2);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.beginPath();;
ctx.arc(50,150,20,0,Math.PI*2);
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
}
$("#canvas1, #canvas2").mousemove(function(e){handleMouseMove(e);});
var $mouse=$('#mouse');
function handleMouseMove(e){
// tell the browser we're handling this event
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
var bb=e.target.getBoundingClientRect();
mouseX=parseInt(e.clientX-bb.left);
mouseY=parseInt(e.clientY-bb.top);
if(e.target.id=='canvas1'){
$mouse.text('Mouse1: '+mouseX/scale1+' / '+mouseY/scale1+' (scale:'+scale1+')');
}else{
$mouse.text('Mouse2: '+mouseX/scale2+' / '+mouseY/scale2+' (scale:'+scale2+')');
}
}
body{ background-color: ivory; }
canvas{border:1px solid red;}

If you need scale-independent positions you could use normalized values ([0, 1]) instead and use the size of canvas as the scale factor. This way you can scale and store values without too much concern about the actual target size.
You would also be able to use the mouse positions almost as is and normalize by just dividing them on canvas size.
For example:
When rendering, a point of (1,1) will always draw in lower-right corner as you would do (1 * canvas.width, 1 * canvas.height).
When you store a point you would use the mouse position and divide it on the canvas dimension, for example, if I click in the lower right corner of a canvas of size 400x200, the points would be 400/400 = 1, 200/200 = 1.
Note that width and height would be exclusive (ie. width-1 etc.), but for sake of simplicity...
Example
In this example you can start with any size of the canvas, draw points which are normalized, change size of canvas and have the points redrawn proportionally relative to the original position.
var rng = document.querySelector("input"),
c = document.querySelector("canvas"),
ctx = c.getContext("2d"),
points = [];
// change canvas size and redraw all points
rng.onchange = function() {
c.width = +this.value;
render();
};
// add a new normalized point to array
c.onclick = function(e) {
var r = this.getBoundingClientRect(), // to adjust mouse position
x = e.clientX - r.left,
y = e.clientY - r.top;
points.push({
x: x / c.width, // normalize value to range [0, 1]
y: y / c.height
}); // store point
render(); // redraw (for demo)
};
function render() {
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, c.width, c.height); // clear canvas
ctx.beginPath(); // clear path
for(var i = 0, p; p = points[i]; i++) { // draw points as fixed-size circles
var x = p.x * c.width, // normalized to absolute values
y = p.y * c.height;
ctx.moveTo(x + 5, y);
ctx.arc(x, y, 5, 0, 6.28);
ctx.closePath();
}
ctx.stroke();
}
canvas {background:#ddd}
<h3>Click on canvas to add points, then resize</h3>
<label>Width: <input type="range" min=50 max=600 value=300></label><br>
<canvas></canvas>

I decided to use a scale variable to resize my scales. I resize the canvas canvas.width *= 2; and then I redraw my scales.
var scaleStep;
and use add it into the code: ctx.lineTo(12*24*cScale+12, canvas.height-24); where the scaling needs to be done.
The scaleStep is 2 when maximizing the canvas and 1 when returning to the original size.

Reveal image on canvas with draw/strokes/paint

I want to achive the following:
Draw a bg-image to the canvas (once or if needed repeatedly)
The image should not be visible at the beginning
While i "paint" shapes to the canvas the bg-image should get visible where the shapes were drawn
The parts of the image that will be revealed shall be "painted" (like with a brush) so i want to use strokes.
What i tried:
- Do not clear the canvas
- Paint rects to the canvas with globalCompositeOperation = 'destination-in'
This works, the rectangles reveal the image but i need strokes
If i use strokes they are ignored with 'destination-in' while i see them with normal globalCompositeOperation.
Is this intended that the strokes are ignored? Is there a workaround like somehow converting the stroke/shape to a bitmap? Or do i have have to use two canvas elements?
In OpenGL i would first draw the image with its rgb values and with a = 0 and then only "paint" the alpha in.

You can solve it by these steps:
Set the image as a pattern
Set the pattern as fillStyle or strokeStyle
When you now fill/stroke your shapes the image will be revealed. Just make sure the initial image fits the area you want to reveal.
Example showing the principle, you should be able to adopt this to your needs:
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"),
img = new Image,
radius = 40;
img.onload = setup;
img.src = "http://i.imgur.com/bnAEEXq.jpg";
function setup() {
// set image as pattern for fillStyle
ctx.fillStyle = ctx.createPattern(this, "no-repeat");
// for demo only, reveals image while mousing over canvas
canvas.onmousemove = function(e) {
var r = this.getBoundingClientRect(),
x = e.clientX - r.left,
y = e.clientY - r.top;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x + radius, y);
ctx.arc(x, y, radius, 0, 2*Math.PI);
ctx.fill();
};
}
<canvas id=canvas width=900 height=600></canvas>
Hope this helps!

Alternative solution:
Put the image as a normal image on your website
add a canvas and use CSS positioning to place it right above the image
Fill the canvas with the color you use as the page background
have your paint tools erase the canvas when you draw. By the way, you can set context.globalCompositionOperation = 'destination-out' to turn all drawing operations into an eraser.
Here is an example. As you can see, the alpha properties of your tools are respected.
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
//prepare canvas
ctx.fillStyle = '#ffffff'
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 120, 120);
//prepare a 30% opacity eraser
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = 'destination-out';
ctx.lineWidth = 5;
ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)';
// make random strokes around cursor while mouse moves
canvas.onmousemove = function(e) {
var rect = this.getBoundingClientRect();
var x = e.clientX - rect.left;
var y = e.clientY - rect.top;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(x + Math.random() * 33 - 16, y + Math.random() * 33 - 16);
ctx.lineTo(x + Math.random() * 33 - 16, y + Math.random() * 33 - 16);
ctx.stroke();
}

Drawing an arc on an image inside a canvas

I am trying to clip and display a very large image inside a canvas div.
Using basic calculations and drawImage I managed to clip the image around the pixel I want and display the clipped image.
An example is here on JSFiddle (displaying image arround eye of the person)
I would like to add an arc which will be over the image around the pixel (the sx, sy pixel I use in the example in drawImage), how should I adjust the coordinates ?
var canvas = document.getElementById('test-canvas');
canvas.width = 500;
canvas.height = 285;
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.onload = function () {
//context.drawImage(img,sx,sy,swidth,sheight,x,y,width,height);
context.drawImage(imageObj, 1324 - 250, 1228 - 142.5, 500, 285, 0, 0, 500, 285);
};
imageObj.src = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b3/Edvard_Munch_-_Self-Portrait_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg";

An arc is part of a path, which can be either filled or stroke. In order to get your desired result, you need to move to a point on your circle*, create the arc, and then use stroke() (fiddle):
function strokeCircle(ctx, midx, midy, radius){
ctx.moveTo(midx + radius, midy);
ctx.arc(midx, midy, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
ctx.stroke();
}
imageObj.onload = function () {
context.drawImage(imageObj, 1324 - 250, 1228 - 142.5, 500, 285, 0, 0, 500, 285);
strokeCircle(context, 250, 142.5, 30);
};
* The correct coordinate depends on your polar coordinates used for the circle. If you draw from 0 to Math.PI, you need to start on the right-most point.

HTML5 canvas drawImage with at an angle

I am experimenting with animation in <canvas> and can't work out how to draw an image at an angle. The desired effect is a few images drawn as usual, with one image rotating slowly. (This image is not at the centre of the screen, if that makes any difference).

You need to modify the transformation matrix before drawing the image that you want rotated.
Assume image points to an HTMLImageElement object.
var x = canvas.width / 2;
var y = canvas.height / 2;
var width = image.width;
var height = image.height;
context.translate(x, y);
context.rotate(angleInRadians);
context.drawImage(image, -width / 2, -height / 2, width, height);
context.rotate(-angleInRadians);
context.translate(-x, -y);
The x, y coordinates is the center of the image on the canvas.

It is interesting that the first solution worked for so many people, it didn't give the result I needed.
In the end I had to do this:
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(positionX, positionY);
ctx.rotate(angle);
ctx.translate(-x,-y);
ctx.drawImage(image,0,0);
ctx.restore();
where (positionX, positionY) is the coordinates on the canvas that I want the image to be located at and (x, y) is the point on the image where I want the image to rotate.

I have written a function (based on Jakub's answer) that allows user to paint an image in a X,Y position based on a custom rotation in a custom rotation point:
function rotateAndPaintImage ( context, image, angleInRad , positionX, positionY, axisX, axisY ) {
context.translate( positionX, positionY );
context.rotate( angleInRad );
context.drawImage( image, -axisX, -axisY );
context.rotate( -angleInRad );
context.translate( -positionX, -positionY );
}
Then you can call it like this:
var TO_RADIANS = Math.PI/180;
ctx = document.getElementById("canvasDiv").getContext("2d");
var imgSprite = new Image();
imgSprite.src = "img/sprite.png";
// rotate 45º image "imgSprite", based on its rotation axis located at x=20,y=30 and draw it on context "ctx" of the canvas on coordinates x=200,y=100
rotateAndPaintImage ( ctx, imgSprite, 45*TO_RADIANS, 200, 100, 20, 30 );
