From the code below you can see that I misunderstand how putImageData works:
// create canvas:
let canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = 2;
canvas.height = 1;
let ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
// grab its imageData:
let imageData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
console.log(imageData.data);
// edit its imageData:
imageData.data[0] = 10;
console.log(imageData.data);
// put the edited image data onto the canvas:
ctx.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);
// check that the edited data is actually on the canvas:
let finalImageData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
console.log(finalImageData.data);
That code outputs these logs:
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
I expected that last console.log to output [10, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]. Where am I going wrong in my understanding here?
(To be sure, I've tested with Firefox and Chrome - same result. Definitely seems like a very fundamental misunderstanding on my part.)
You need to set the alpha to 255 or the canvas is just drawing something transparent, the data is a sequence of RGBA items
Your data output of [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] can be represented as
R
G
B
A
0
0
0
0
0
0

Some good reading:

Here is your code but setting the alpha on the first pixel to 255
// create canvas:
let canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = 2;
canvas.height = 1;
let ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
// grab its imageData:
let imageData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
console.log(imageData.data);
// edit its imageData:
imageData.data[0] = 10;
imageData.data[3] = 255;
console.log(imageData.data);
// put the edited image data onto the canvas:
ctx.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);
// check that the edited data is actually on the canvas:
let finalImageData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
console.log(finalImageData.data);
When i use the "w" key to move my object and then pres the "x" key to rotate it, my object rotates around the world origin rather than its own center. How do I update the objects pivot after the move? I've seen a few questions and answers on this where its stated to use geometry.center(), however, this doesn't work for me.
var tMatrix = new THREE.Matrix4()
var radian = 5*Math.PI/180
function keyDown(event){
if(event.key == 'x'){
r5 = Math.cos(radian);
r6 = -Math.sin(radian);
r8 = Math.sin(radian);
r9 = Math.cos(radian);
tMatrix.set( 1, 0, 0, 0,
0, r5, r6, 0,
0, r8, r9, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1 );
mesh.applyMatrix4(tMatrix);
}
if(event.key == 'w'){
tMatrix.set( 1, 0, 0, 0,
0, 1, 0, 1,
0, 0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1 );
mesh.applyMatrix4(tMatrix);
}
}
var pivot = new THREE.Object3D();
let loader = new THREE.STLLoader();
var material = new THREE.MeshLambertMaterial({color: 0x818181});
loader.load('STL/test.stl', function (geometry) {
mesh = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, material);
scene.add(mesh);
});
window.addEventListener("keypress", keyDown);
Okay, I solved the problem by just getting the position of the object before I rotate it, and then set the position to its original after the new matrix has been set.
if(event.key == 'x'){
x = mesh.position.x;
y = mesh.position.y;
z = mesh.position.z;
r5 = Math.cos(radian);
r6 = -Math.sin(radian);
r8 = Math.sin(radian);
r9 = Math.cos(radian);
tMatrix.set( 1, 0, 0, 0,
0, r5, r6, 0,
0, r8, r9, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1 );
mesh.applyMatrix4(tMatrix);
mesh.position.set(x,y,z);
}
A 5 by 5 pixel image data is something like this in linearized imagedata array-
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
So, the 3x3 pixel data is- 0 0 0 255. How can I get the adjacent pixel positions? Left and right adjacent ones are easy, just minus 4 and plus 4 respectively.
Accessing pixel data
The pixel data from .getImageData().data is a TypedArray of type Uint8ClampedArray. When reading the values they will be in the range 0-255 and in the order Red, Green, Blue, Alpha. If the value of alpha is zero then red, green, and blue will also be zero.
To get the index of a pixel
const imageData = ctx.getImageData(0,0,ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
var index = (x + y * imageData.width) * 4;
const red = imageData.data[index];
const green = imageData.data[index + 1];
const blue = imageData.data[index + 2];
const alpha = imageData.data[index + 3];
To move down one pixel
index += imageData.width * 4;
To move up one
index -= imageData.width * 4;
To move left.
index -= 4;
To move right
index += 4;
If you are on the left or right edge and you move in the direction of the edge you will wrap around, on the line above and to the right if moving left and the line below and on the left if moving down.
When setting the image data the values will be floored and clamped to 0-255
imageData.data[index] = 29.5
console.log(imageData.data[index]); // 29
imageData.data[index] = -283
console.log(imageData.data[index]); // 0
imageData.data[index] = 283
console.log(imageData.data[index]); // 255
If you set an index that is outside the array size it will be ignored
imageData.data[-100] = 255;
console.log(imageData.data[-100]); // Undefined
imageData.data[imageData.data.length + 4] = 255;
console.log(imageData.data[imageData.data.length + 4]); // Undefined
You can speed up access and processing by using different array types. For example all of a pixel's channels as one value using Uint32Array
const imageData = ctx.getImageData(0,0,ctx.canvas.width, ctx.canvas.height);
const pixels = new Uint32Array(imageData.data.buffer);
var index32 = x + y * imageData.width; // note there is no 4*;
const pixel = pixels[index32];
The channels are stored in bits 31-24 Alpha, 23-16 Blue, 15-8 Green, 7-0 Red.
You can set a pixel using a hex value
pixels[x + y * imageData.width] = 0xFF0000FF; // red
pixels[x + y * imageData.width] = 0xFF00FF00; // Green
pixels[x + y * imageData.width] = 0xFFFF0000; // Blue
pixels[x + y * imageData.width] = 0xFF000000; // Black
pixels[x + y * imageData.width] = 0xFFFFFFFF; // White
pixels[x + y * imageData.width] = 0; // Transparent
You can set all the pixels in a single call
pixels.fill(0xFF000000); // all pixels black
You can copy array data onto the array with
// set 3 pixels in a row at x,y Red, Yellow, White
pixels.set([0xFF0000FF,0xFF00FFFF,0xFFFFFFFF], x+y * imageData.width);
Warning
If the canvas has any pixel/s that are from an untrusted source it will be tainted and you will not be able to read the pixel data. Trusted sources are same domain or images served with the appropriate CORS header information. Images that are on the file system can not have their pixels accessed. Once a canvas is tainted it can not be cleaned.
A tainted canvas will throw an error when you call ctx.getImageData(0,0,1,1,) MDN does not list this exception for some reason. You will see "SecurityError" DOMException; in the DevTools console and there are plenty of answered question here in StackOverflow on the subject.
You could calculate the index with the width of the matrix and the length of one unit of 4.
The access is zero based.
function getPos(array, x, y, width) {
var p = 4 * (x + y * width);
return array.slice(p, p + 4);
}
var array = [
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 240, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 241, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
];
// element above
console.log(JSON.stringify(getPos(array, 2, 1, 5))); // [0, 0, 0, 240]
// actual element
console.log(JSON.stringify(getPos(array, 2, 2, 5))); // [0, 0, 0, 255]
// element below
console.log(JSON.stringify(getPos(array, 2, 3, 5))); // [0, 0, 0, 241]
I read following codes writing for webgl, and I want rewrite it using three.js. But I could not find any way to do so, please help me.
pMatrix = mat4.create();
mat4.perspective(pMatrix,1.01,gl.drawingBufferWidth/gl.drawingBufferHeight, 10.0, 300000.0);
var eciMat = [1, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, -1, 0,
0, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1
];
mat4.mul(pMatrix, pMatrix, eciMat );
Matrix classes are pretty sophisticated in Three.js, look at the docs here: http://threejs.org/docs/#Reference/Math/Matrix4
Here's how I would write it in Three.js
// Arguments are fov, aspect, near, far
var perspectiveMatrix = new THREE.Matrix4().makePerspective(30, 1, 0.01, 20);
var eciMatrix = new THREE.Matrix4();
eciMatrix.set(1, 0, 0, 0,
0, 0, -1, 0,
0, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1);
var resultMatrix = new THREE.Matrix4();
resultMatrix.multiply(eciMatrix);
resultMatrix.multiply(perspectiveMatrix);
resultMatrix.multiply(perspectiveMatrix);
console.log(resultMatrix);
I'm very much an amateur enthusiast trying to make a basic 2d game map with html canvas. I've done this before by using arrays to create div/img tags and position them. I'm now trying to do this with canvas, not with images but simply drawing squares with fillRect().
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var map =
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0]
[1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0];
window.addEventListener("load", function()
{
update();
}, false);
function update()
{
window.requestAnimationFrame(update, canvas);
render();
}
function render()
{
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
for(var row = 0; row < map.length; row++)
{
for(var column = 0; column < map[0].length; column++)
{
switch(map[row][column])
{
case 0:
ctx.fillStyle = #ffffff;
ctx.fillRect
(
row * 64, column * 64, 64, 64
);
break;
case 1:
ctx.fillStyle = #009900;
ctx.fillRect
(
row * 64, column * 64, 64, 64
);
break;
}
}
}
}
I'm getting the error: 'Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL' on line 46 which is 'ctx.fillStyle = #ffffff;'.
I'm a bit stuck as to why it's giving this error, I'm wondering if you can't use the context methods in this way with an array but I can't understand why.
If anyone has any advice, I would be very grateful.
