Create a collision region on canvas elements That interacts with mouse Events

I want to create a collision region around a canvas element that enables me to interact with that element using mouse events width vanilla javascript.
To elaborate more on my problem here is the following:
at first I make an arc segment constructor with x, y, radius, beginAngle, endAngle, and a color arguments
var canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
/* arc class constructor */
function ArcSegment(x, y, radius, beginAngle, endAngle, segColor) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.radius = radius;
this.beginAngle = beginAngle;
this.endAngle = endAngle;
this.segColor = segColor;
this.update = function() {
this.draw();
}
this.draw = function(){
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(this.x, this.y, this.radius, this.beginAngle, this.endAngle, false);
ctx.lineWidth = 20;
ctx.strokeStyle = this.segColor;
ctx.stroke();
}
}
Secondly, i add some value to create those arc segments
/* x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle and color */
var centerX = canvas.width/2;
var centerY = canvas.height/2;
var radiuses = [
100,
120
];
var pi = Math.PI;
var segmentStart = [
pi/2,
0
];
var segmentRotation = [
1.4*pi,
0.2*pi
];
var segmentColors = [
"#133046",
"#15959F"
];
Then, i draw Them on the canvas.
var segment1 = new ArcSegment(centerX, centerY, radiuses[0], segmentStart[0], segmentStart[0]+segmentRotation[0], segmentColors[0]);
segment1.update();
var segment2 = new ArcSegment(centerX, centerY, radiuses[1], segmentStart[1], segmentStart[1]+segmentRotation[1], segmentColors[1]);
segment2.update();
and here is the result:
What i want now is a way to create a collision detection on top of each arc segment created, so when a mouse is clicked or moved on top of that specific arc segment
a sequence of events can occur (like a rotation animation for example or so...).
all the research i've done suggest to get the x and y value of a rectangle and calculate the distance of mouse position (mouse.x, mouse.y) and the length of the rectangle, but that method doesn't work with an arc segment with a lineWidth property.
Any help on the subject would be very appreciated.

Below is a pure mathematical approach, the key here is the code isPointInside
// Classes
function Arc(x, y, angle, arc, radius, colour, highlightColour) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.angle = angle;
this.arc = arc;
this.radius = radius;
this.colour = colour;
this.highlightColour = highlightColour;
this.highlighted = false;
this.lineWidth = 20;
}
Arc.prototype = {
isPointInside: function(x, y) {
var _x = x - this.x;
var _y = y - this.y;
var distance = Math.sqrt(_x * _x + _y * _y);
var invDistance = 1.0 / distance;
var angle = Math.acos(
_x * Math.cos(this.angle) * invDistance +
_y * Math.sin(this.angle) * invDistance
);
return distance > (this.radius - this.lineWidth/2) &&
distance < (this.radius + this.lineWidth/2) &&
angle < this.arc/2;
},
render: function(ctx) {
ctx.lineWidth = this.lineWidth;
ctx.strokeStyle = this.highlighted ? this.highlightColour : this.colour;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(this.x, this.y, this.radius, this.angle - this.arc/2, this.angle + this.arc/2, false );
ctx.stroke();
}
};
// Variables
var canvas = null;
var ctx = null;
var arcs = [];
// Functions
function draw() {
ctx.fillStyle = "gray";
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 999, 999);
for (var i = 0; i < arcs.length; ++i) {
arcs[i].render(ctx);
}
}
// Event Listeners
function onMouseMove(e) {
var bounds = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
var x = e.clientX - bounds.left;
var y = e.clientY - bounds.top;
for (var i = 0; i < arcs.length; ++i) {
arcs[i].highlighted = arcs[i].isPointInside(x, y);
}
draw();
}
// Entry Point
onload = function() {
canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
canvas.onmousemove = onMouseMove;
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
arcs.push(new Arc(190, 75, 0.2, 1.8, 60, "blue", "lime"));
arcs.push(new Arc(90, 75, 3.5, 4.2, 60, "red", "lime"));
draw();
}

Canvas line drawing animation

I am new learner of animation using HTML5 Canvas. I am struggling to create line drawing animation in a canvas with desired length of a line.
Here is the code
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"),
context = canvas.getContext("2d"),
width = canvas.width = window.innerWidth,
height = canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
var x = 200;
var y = 200;
draw();
update();
function draw() {
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(100, 100);
context.lineTo(x, y);
context.stroke();
}
function update() {
context.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
x = x + 1;
y = y + 1;
draw();
requestAnimationFrame(update);
}
html,
body {
margin: 0px;
}
canvas {
display: block;
}
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
The line is growing on Canvas in the above code. But how to achieve that the 200px wide line and animate the movement in x and y direction. And the same animation with multiple lines using for loop and move them in different direction.
Check the reference image ....
Need to move each line in a different direction
Thanks in advance
Find a new reference image which i want to achieve

You need to either use transforms or a bit of trigonometry.
Transforms
For each frame:
Reset transforms and translate to center
Clear canvas
Draw line from center to the right
Rotate x angle
Repeat from step 2 until all lines are drawn
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var centerX = c.width>>1;
var centerY = c.height>>1;
var maxLength = Math.min(centerX, centerY); // use the shortest direction for demo
var currentLength = 0; // current length, for animation
var lenStep = 1; // "speed" of animation
function render() {
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1, centerX, centerY);
ctx.clearRect(-centerX, -centerY, c.width, c.height);
ctx.beginPath();
for(var angle = 0, step = 0.1; angle < Math.PI * 2; angle += step) {
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
ctx.lineTo(currentLength, 0);
ctx.rotate(step);
}
ctx.stroke(); // stroke all at once
}
(function loop() {
render();
currentLength += lenStep;
if (currentLength < maxLength) requestAnimationFrame(loop);
})();
<canvas id=c></canvas>
You can use transformation different ways, but since you're learning I kept it simple in the above code.
Trigonometry
You can also calculate the line angles manually using trigonometry. Also here you can use different approaches, ie. if you want to use delta values, vectors or brute force using the math implicit.
For each frame:
Reset transforms and translate to center
Clear canvas
Calculate angle and direction for each line
Draw line
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var centerX = c.width>>1;
var centerY = c.height>>1;
var maxLength = Math.min(centerX, centerY); // use the shortest direction for demo
var currentLength = 0; // current length, for animation
var lenStep = 1; // "speed" of animation
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1, centerX, centerY);
function render() {
ctx.clearRect(-centerX, -centerY, c.width, c.height);
ctx.beginPath();
for(var angle = 0, step = 0.1; angle < Math.PI * 2; angle += step) {
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
ctx.lineTo(currentLength * Math.cos(angle), currentLength * Math.sin(angle));
}
ctx.stroke(); // stroke all at once
}
(function loop() {
render();
currentLength += lenStep;
if (currentLength < maxLength) requestAnimationFrame(loop);
})();
<canvas id=c></canvas>
Bonus animation to play around with (using the same basis as above):
var ctx = c.getContext("2d", {alpha: false});
var centerX = c.width>>1;
var centerY = c.height>>1;
ctx.setTransform(1,0,0,1, centerX, centerY);
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.strokeStyle = "rgba(0,0,0,0.8)";
ctx.shadowBlur = 16;
function render(time) {
ctx.globalAlpha=0.77;
ctx.fillRect(-500, -500, 1000, 1000);
ctx.globalAlpha=1;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rotate(0.025);
ctx.shadowColor = "hsl(" + time*0.1 + ",100%,75%)";
ctx.shadowBlur = 16;
for(var angle = 0, step = Math.PI / ((time % 200) + 50); angle < Math.PI * 2; angle += step) {
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
var len = 150 + 150 * Math.cos(time*0.0001618*angle*Math.tan(time*0.00025)) * Math.sin(time*0.01);
ctx.lineTo(len * Math.cos(angle), len * Math.sin(angle));
}
ctx.stroke();
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "lighter";
ctx.shadowBlur = 0;
ctx.drawImage(ctx.canvas, -centerX, -centerY);
ctx.drawImage(ctx.canvas, -centerX, -centerY);
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "source-over";
}
function loop(time) {
render(time);
requestAnimationFrame(loop);
};
requestAnimationFrame(loop);
body {margin:0;background:#222}
<canvas id=c width=640 height=640></canvas>

Here is what I think you are describing...
window.onload = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"),
context = canvas.getContext("2d"),
width = canvas.width = 400,
height = canvas.height = 220,
xcenter = 200,
ycenter = 110,
radius = 0,
radiusmax = 100,
start_angle1 = 0,
start_angle2 = 0;
function toRadians(angle) {
return angle * (Math.PI / 180);
}
function draw(x1, y1, x2, y2) {
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(x1, y1);
context.lineTo(x2, y2);
context.stroke();
}
function drawWheel(xc, yc, start_angle, count, rad) {
var inc = 360 / count;
for (var angle = start_angle; angle < start_angle + 180; angle += inc) {
var x = Math.cos(toRadians(angle)) * rad;
var y = Math.sin(toRadians(angle)) * rad;
draw(xc - x, yc - y, xc + x, yc + y);
}
}
function update() {
start_angle1 += 0.1;
start_angle2 -= 0.1;
if(radius<radiusmax) radius++;
context.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
drawWheel(xcenter, ycenter, start_angle1, 40, radius);
drawWheel(xcenter, ycenter, start_angle2, 40, radius);
requestAnimationFrame(update);
}
update();

This is one that is a variable length emerging pattern. It has a length array element for each spoke in the wheel that grows at a different rate. You can play with the settings to vary the results:
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var width = canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
var height = canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
var xcenter = width/4;
var ycenter = height/2;
var radius;
var time;
if(width>height) {
radius = height*0.4;
}
else {
radius = width*0.4;
}
var start_angle1 = 0;
var start_angle2 = 0;
function toRadians (angle) {
return angle * (Math.PI / 180);
}
function draw(x1,y1,x2,y2) {
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(x1,y1);
context.lineTo(x2,y2);
context.stroke();
}
var radmax=width;
var rads = [];
var radsinc = [];
function drawWheel(xc,yc,start_angle,count,rad) {
var inc = 360/count;
var i=0;
for(var angle=start_angle; angle < start_angle+180; angle +=inc) {
var x = Math.cos(toRadians(angle)) * rads[rad+i];
var y = Math.sin(toRadians(angle)) * rads[rad+i];
draw(xc-x,yc-y,xc+x,yc+y);
rads[rad+i] += radsinc[i];
if(rads[rad+i] > radmax) rads[rad+i] = 1;
i++;
}
}
function update() {
var now = new Date().getTime();
var dt = now - (time || now);
time = now;
start_angle1 += (dt/1000) * 10;
start_angle2 -= (dt/1000) * 10;
context.clearRect(0,0,width,height);
drawWheel(xcenter,ycenter,start_angle1,50,0);
drawWheel(xcenter,ycenter,start_angle2,50,50);
requestAnimationFrame(update);
}
function init() {
for(var i=0;i<100;i++) {
rads[i] = 0;
radsinc[i] = Math.random() * 10;
}
}
window.onload = function() {
init();
update();
};

Javascript canvas animated arc

I've been learning some javascript/canvas animation, I'm having trouble getting this animation to work correctly.
My goal is that the animation will start drawing at the top, then as it gets back to the top it will stop progressing and the start position will progress around the arc making it look as though it is erasing itself and once at the top (1.5 * PI) will starting drawing again.
Here is a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/kg1fmsjj/
Here is my code:
function f(element, colour, thickness, elapsedTime) {
// Create Element
element.innerHTML = '';
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
element.appendChild(canvas);
// Circle Params
context.lineWidth = thickness;
context.strokeStyle = colour;
var width = canvas.width;
var height = canvas.height;
var mathPi = Math.PI;
var x = canvas.width / 2;
var y = canvas.height / 2;
var radius = 40;
var startAngle = 1.5 * mathPi;
var endAngle = 1.5 * mathPi;
context.lineWidth = thickness;
context.strokeStyle = colour;
var erasing = false;
function animate() {
if(erasing) {
startAngle = startAngle + 0.01 * mathPi;
} else {
endAngle = endAngle + 0.01 * mathPi;
}
if (endAngle > (1.5 * mathPi)) {
erasing = true;
}
if (startAngle > (1.5 * mathPi)) {
erasing = false;
}
context.beginPath();
context.arc(x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle, false);
context.stroke();
context.closePath();
}
setInterval(animate, 10);
}
f(document.getElementById('out'), '#800080', 4, 60);

context.arc lets you optionally draw your arc counterclockwise.
This ability lets you create your desired effect:
To "draw" the arc, draw an increasing arc clockwise.
To "erase" the arc, draw a decreasing arc counterclockwise.
Here's example code and a Demo:
var canvas=document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d");
var cw=canvas.width;
var ch=canvas.height;
ctx.lineWidth=2;
ctx.strokeStyle='#800080';
var PI=Math.PI;
var cx=cw/2;
var cy=ch/2;
var radius=cw/2-30;
var angle=0;
var direction=1;
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
function animate(time){
ctx.clearRect(0,0,cw,ch);
angle+=PI/120;
if(angle<0 || angle>PI*2){
angle=0;
direction*=-1;
}
draw();
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}
function draw(){
var counterclockwise=(direction>0)?false:true;
var s=-Math.PI/2;
var e=angle-Math.PI/2;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(cx,cy,radius,s,e,counterclockwise);
ctx.stroke();
}
body{ background-color: ivory; }
#canvas{border:1px solid red; margin:0 auto; }
<canvas id="canvas" width=300 height=300></canvas>

You need to clear the canvas on each repaint using the clearRect() method.
You need to change the conditions when erasing variable is toggled. If erasing and startAngle >= endAngle then toggle erasing variable. If not erasing and endAngle >= startAngle + 2 * PI then toggle erasing variable.
The animate() method then become...
function animate() {
if(erasing) {
startAngle = startAngle + 0.01 * mathPi;
if (startAngle >= endAngle) {
erasing = false;
}
} else {
endAngle = endAngle + 0.01 * mathPi;
if (endAngle >= startAngle + 2.0 * mathPi) {
erasing = true;
}
}
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
context.beginPath();
context.arc(x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle, false);
context.stroke();
}

Animate a Canvas Diamond Shape to Draw when scrolled to

I'm attempting to draw this shape on screen with canvas.
I have referenced this example which draws a circle: http://jsfiddle.net/loktar/uhVj6/4/ ,but cannot figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to canvas.
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var x = canvas.width / 2;
var y = canvas.height / 2;
var radius = 75;
var endPercent = 85;
var curPerc = 0;
var counterClockwise = false;
var circ = Math.PI * 2;
var quart = Math.PI / 2;
context.lineWidth = 10;
context.strokeStyle = '#ad2323';
context.shadowOffsetX = 0;
context.shadowOffsetY = 0;
context.shadowBlur = 10;
context.shadowColor = '#656565';
function animate(current) {
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
context.beginPath();
context.arc(x, y, radius, -(quart), ((circ) * current) - quart, false);
context.stroke();
curPerc++;
if (curPerc < endPercent) {
requestAnimationFrame(function () {
animate(curPerc / 100)
});
}
}
animate();
I plan on having a bullet point on each angle that would pop up and slightly pause whenever the line gets to that point.

'loading circle' through Canvas

Alright guys, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything that directly related to what I was doing. So I have these 4 self drawing circles (or gauges.) Each one has it's own value, and I've been looking through just nit picking through codes and books to build this. My question I need to figure out is how I would go about putting in a count up? Basically I want a counter to go from 1 - x (x being the degree of the circle it's in). I've included my js and HTML 5 for you guys to look at.
HTML
<canvas id="a" width="300" height="300"></canvas>
<script>
var canvas = document.getElementById('a');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var x = canvas.width / 2;
var y = canvas.height / 2;
var radius = 75;
var startAngle = 1.5 * Math.PI;
var endAngle = 3.2 * Math.PI;
var counterClockwise = false;
context.beginPath();
context.arc(x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle, counterClockwise);
context.lineWidth = 15;
// line color
context.strokeStyle = 'black';
context.stroke();
</script>
Canvas.JS
$(document).ready(function(){
function animate(elementId, endPercent) {
var canvas = document.getElementById(elementId);
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var x = canvas.width / 2;
var y = canvas.height / 2;
var radius = 75;
var curPerc = 0;
var counterClockwise = false;
var circ = Math.PI * 2;
var quart = Math.PI / 2;
context.lineWidth = 15;
context.strokeStyle = '#85c3b8';
context.shadowOffsetX = 0;
context.shadowOffsetY = 0;
context.shadowBlur = 10;
function render(current) {
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
context.beginPath();
context.arc(x, y, radius, -(quart), ((circ) * current) - quart, false);
context.stroke();
curPerc++;
if (curPerc < endPercent) {
requestAnimationFrame(function () {
render(curPerc / 100);
});
}
}
render();
}
$(window).scroll(function(){
if($(this).scrollTop()<1600){
animate('a', 85);
animate('b', 95);
animate('c', 80);
animate('d', 75);
}
});
});
Keep in mind that I am very new to canvas, I appreciate all the help guys!

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/mYKp5/
You can save your gauges as objects in an array:
var guages=[];
guages.push({ x:50, y:100, radius:40, start:0, end:70, color:"blue" });
guages.push({ x:200, y:100, radius:40, start:0, end:90, color:"green" });
guages.push({ x:50, y:225, radius:40, start:0, end:35, color:"gold" });
guages.push({ x:200, y:225, radius:40, start:0, end:55, color:"purple" });
The render function takes a guage object draws its progress
function render(guage,percent) {
var pct=percent/100;
var extent=parseInt((guage.end-guage.start)*pct);
var current=(guage.end-guage.start)/100*PI2*pct-quart;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(guage.x,guage.y,guage.radius,-quart,current);
ctx.strokeStyle=guage.color;
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle=guage.color;
ctx.fillText(extent,guage.x-15,guage.y+5);
}
And the animation loop asks render to draw all gauges from 0-100 percent of their full values
function animate() {
// if the animation is not 100% then request another frame
if(percent<100){
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
}
// redraw all guages with the current percent
drawAll(percent);
// increase percent for the next frame
percent+=1;
}
function drawAll(percent){
// clear the canvas
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// draw all the guages
for(var i=0;i<guages.length;i++){
render(guages[i],percent);
}
}
