Snap.svg drag multiple groups

I don't know how to drag multiple groups in snap.svg after selecting them. When two elements are selected (opacity is changed for two of them) and I use the dragGroup function I would like to drag both elements, not only the one which was clicked. Can you please give me some support how to accomplish it ?
Please see the JSFiddle, which shows the issue - JSFiddle
SelectMultipleGroups();
dragGroup(Snap.select("#extGrid1"));
dragGroup(Snap.select("#extGrid2"));
function SelectMultipleGroups () {
var paper = Snap('#svgArea')
// group that will receive the selected items
//var selections = paper.group()
selections = Snap.set();
// DRAG FUNCTIONS
// when mouse goes down over background, start drawing selection box
var box = paper.rect(-2000, -2000, 0, 0).attr('stroke', 'black'); //obszar zaznaczania (x, y, width, height);
function dragstart (x, y, event) {
//if path or circle were clicked don't draw box
if(event.target.nodeName == "path" || event.target.nodeName == "circle" )
{
return false;
}
box = paper.rect(x, y-32, 0, 0).attr('stroke', 'black');
}
// when mouse moves during drag, adjust box. If to left or above original point, you have to translate the whole box and invert the dx or dy values since .rect() doesn't take negative width or height
function dragmove (dx, dy, x, y, event) {
var xoffset = 0,
yoffset = 0
if (dx < 0) {
xoffset = dx
dx = -1 * dx
}
if (dy < 0) {
yoffset = dy
dy = -1 * dy
}
box.transform('T' + xoffset + ',' + yoffset)
box.attr('width', dx)
box.attr('height', dy)
box.attr('fill', 'none')
}
function dragend (event) {
var border = box.getBBox()
box.remove()
var items = Snap.selectAll('#svgArea g');
items.forEach(function (el) {
// here, we want to get the x,y vales of each object regardless of what sort of shape it is, but rect uses rx and ry, circle uses cx and cy, etc
// so we'll see if the bounding boxes intercept instead
var mybounds = el.getBBox()
// do bounding boxes overlap?
// is one of this object's x extremes between the selection's xextremes?
if (Snap.path.isBBoxIntersect(mybounds, border)) {
el.attr({
attr: "selected",
opacity: 0.5,
});
}
});
}
Snap.select('#svgArea').drag(dragmove, dragstart, dragend);
};
function dragGroup (element) {
startFnc = function (e) {
var matrixSplit = element.transform().localMatrix.split();
ox = matrixSplit.dx
oy = matrixSplit.dy
}, // handler for drag start
moveFnc = function (dx, dy) { // handler for moving
lx = dx + ox // add the new change in x to the drag origin
ly = dy + oy // add the new change in y to the drag origin
// limit the area for drag
lx = insideContainer(element, lx, ly).x
ly = insideContainer(element, lx, ly).y
element.transform('translate(' + lx + ',' + ly + ')')
},
endFnc = function () { // handler for drag end
ox = 0
oy = 0
}
element.drag(moveFnc, startFnc, endFnc);
};
// limit the area for drag
function insideContainer (element, lx, ly) {
var thisGroup = element.getBBox();
if (lx < 0) {
lx = 0
}
if (ly < 0) {
ly = 0
}
if (lx > ($("#svgArea").width() - thisGroup.width)) {
lx = ($("#svgArea").width() - thisGroup.width)
}
if (ly > ($("#svgArea").height() - thisGroup.height)) {
ly = ($("#svgArea").height() - thisGroup.height)
}
return {
x: lx,
y: ly
}
}

The simplest way, would be to put both the group elements inside another group. That way you just put the handler on the parent group element, and when you drag it, everything inside moves with it.
dragGroup(Snap.select("#parentGroup"));
jsfiddle example
If for some reason you can't do this, you would have to iterate over each of those group elements and transform them, storing each groups starting position before the drag. So it could look something like this...
startFnc = function (e) {
selections.forEach(function(el) {
var matrixSplit = el.transform().localMatrix.split();
el.data('ox',matrixSplit.dx)
el.data('oy',matrixSplit.dy)
});
}, // handler for drag start
moveFnc = function (dx, dy) { // handler for moving
selections.forEach(function(el) {
lx = dx + el.data('ox') // add the new change in x to the drag origin
ly = dy + el.data('oy') // add the new change in y to the drag origin
// limit the area for drag
lx = insideContainer(el, lx, ly).x
ly = insideContainer(el, lx, ly).y
el.transform('translate(' + lx + ',' + ly + ')')
});
}

DIV rotate in Javascript

I am currently trying to rotate this div toward the mouse pointer, and it hasnt worked. I even tried going to a chat room about it. Currently, It sorta rotates toward the mouse...here is my code so far:
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
document.addEventListener("mousemove", function(event){
x = Number(event.pageX);
y = Number(event.pageY);
}, false);
setInterval(function(){
var boxX = document.getElementById('temp').style.left;
boxX = Number(boxX.substring(0, boxX.length - 1));
var boxX = screen.width * ((boxX)/100);
var boxY = document.getElementById('temp').style.top;
boxY = Number(boxY.substring(0, boxY.length - 1));
var boxY = screen.width * ((boxY)/100);
var slope = [Math.round(x - boxX),Math.round(y - boxY)];
//x,y
var angle = Math.round(Math.atan(slope[1]/slope[0]) *100) ;
document.getElementById('temp').style.transform = "translate(-50%,-50%) rotate(0deg)";
document.getElementById('temp').style.transform = "translate(-50%,-50%) rotate("+angle+"deg)";
}, 500);

1000 DOM elements on a single page

For a project of big "text map" BigPicture, I need to have more than 1000 text inputs.
When you click + drag, you can "pan" the displayed area.
But the performance is very poor (both on Firefox and Chrome) : rendering 1000+ DOM elements is not fast at all.
Of course, another solution with better performance would be : work on a <canvas>, render text as bitmap on it, and each time we want to edit text, let's show a unique DOM <textarea>, that disappears what editing is finished, and text is rendered as bitmap again... It works (I'm currently working in this direction) but it needs much more code in order to provide editing on a canvas.
Question : Is it possible to improve performance for rendering of 1000+ DOM elements on a HTML page, so that I don't need to use <canvas> at all ?
Or will it be impossible to have good performance when panning a page with 1000+ DOM elements ?
Notes :
1) In the demo here I use <span contendteditable="true"> because I want multiline input + autoresize, but the rendering performance is the same with standard <textarea>.*
2) For reference, this is how I create the 1000 text elements.
for (i=0; i < 1000; i++)
{
var blax = (Math.random()-0.5)*3000;
var blay = (Math.random()-0.5)*3000;
var tb = document.createElement('span');
$(tb).data("x", blax / $(window).width());
$(tb).data("y", blay / $(window).height());
$(tb).data("size", 20 * currentzoom);
tb.contentEditable = true;
tb.style.fontFamily = 'arial';
tb.style.fontSize = '20px';
tb.style.position = 'absolute';
tb.style.top = blay + 'px';
tb.style.left = blax + 'px';
tb.innerHTML="newtext";
document.body.appendChild(tb);
}

For something like this you could make use of document fragment, these are DOM nodes that are not part of the actually DOM tree (more info can be found here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/document.createDocumentFragment), so you can do all your setup on the fragment and then append the fragment which will only be causing the one re flow rather than 1000.
So here is an example -http://jsfiddle.net/leighking2/awzoz7bj/ - a quick check on run time it takes around 60-70ms to run
var currentzoom = 1;
var docFragment = document.createDocumentFragment();
var start = new Date();
for (i=0; i < 1000; i++)
{
var blax = (Math.random()-0.5)*3000;
var blay = (Math.random()-0.5)*3000;
var tb = document.createElement('span');
$(tb).data("x", blax / $(window).width());
$(tb).data("y", blay / $(window).height());
$(tb).data("size", 20 * currentzoom);
tb.contentEditable = true;
tb.style.fontFamily = 'arial';
tb.style.fontSize = '20px';
tb.style.position = 'absolute';
tb.style.top = blay + 'px';
tb.style.left = blax + 'px';
tb.innerHTML="newtext";
docFragment.appendChild(tb);
}
document.body.appendChild(docFragment);
var end = new Date();
console.log(end-start)
compared to the original which took around 645ms to run http://jsfiddle.net/leighking2/896pusex/
UPDATE So for improving the dragging speed again keep the individual edits out of the DOM to avoid the cost of the reflow 1000 times every mouse drag
so here is one way using jquery's detach() method (example http://jsfiddle.net/sf72ubdt/). This will remove the elements from the DOM but give them to you with all their properties so you can manipulate them and reinsert them later on
redraw = function(resize) {
//detach spans
var spans = $("span").detach();
//now loop other them, because they are no longer attached to the DOM any changes are
//not going to cause a reflow of the page
$(spans).each(function(index) {
var newx = Math.floor(($(this).data("x") - currentx) / currentzoom * $(window).width());
var newy = Math.floor(($(this).data("y") - currenty) / currentzoom * $(window).height());
if (resize) {
displaysize = Math.floor($(this).data("size") / currentzoom);
if (displaysize) {
$(this).css({
fontSize: displaysize
});
$(this).show();
} else
$(this).hide();
}
//changed this from offset as I was getting a weird dispersing effect around the mouse
// also can no longer test for visible but i assume you want to move them all anyway.
$(this).css({
top: newy + 'px',
left: newx + 'px'
});
});
//reattach to the body
$("body").append(spans);
};
UPDATE 2 -
So to get a little more performance out of this you can cache the window width and height, use a vanilla for loop, use vanilla js to change the css of the span. Now each redraw (on chrome) takes around 30-45 ms (http://jsfiddle.net/leighking2/orpupsge/) compared to my above update which saw them at around 80-100ms (http://jsfiddle.net/leighking2/b68r2xeu/)
so here is the updated redraw
redraw = function (resize) {
var spans = $("span").detach();
var width = $(window).width();
var height = $(window).height();
for (var i = spans.length; i--;) {
var span = $(spans[i]);
var newx = Math.floor((span.data("x") - currentx) / currentzoom * width);
var newy = Math.floor((span.data("y") - currenty) / currentzoom * height);
if (resize) {
displaysize = Math.floor(span.data("size") / currentzoom);
if (displaysize) {
span.css({
fontSize: displaysize
});
span.show();
} else span.hide();
}
spans[i].style.top = newy + 'px',
spans[i].style.left = newx + 'px'
}
$("body").append(spans);
};

A solution was given by #Shmiddty which is much faster to all previous attempts : all elements should be wrapped, and only the wrapper has to be moved (instead of moving each element) :
http://jsfiddle.net/qhskacsw/
It runs smooth and fast even with 1000+ DOM elements.
var container = document.createElement("div"),
wrapper = document.createElement("div"),
dragging = false,
offset = {x:0, y:0},
previous = {x: 0, y:0};
container.style.position = "absolute";
wrapper.style.position = "relative";
container.appendChild(wrapper);
document.body.appendChild(container);
for (var i = 1000, span; i--;){
span = document.createElement("span");
span.textContent = "banana";
span.style.position = "absolute";
span.style.top = (Math.random() * 3000 - 1000 | 0) + 'px';
span.style.left = (Math.random() * 3000 - 1000 | 0) + 'px';
wrapper.appendChild(span);
}
// Don't attach events like this.
// I'm only doing it for this proof of concept.
window.ondragstart = function(e){
e.preventDefault();
}
window.onmousedown = function(e){
dragging = true;
previous = {x: e.pageX, y: e.pageY};
}
window.onmousemove = function(e){
if (dragging){
offset.x += e.pageX - previous.x;
offset.y += e.pageY - previous.y;
previous = {x: e.pageX, y: e.pageY};
container.style.top = offset.y + 'px';
container.style.left = offset.x + 'px';
}
}
window.onmouseup = function(){
dragging = false;
}

IMHO, I would go with your current thinking to maximize performance.
Reason: 1000+ DOM elements will always limit performance.
Yes, there is slightly more coding but your performance should be much better.
create one large offscreen canvas containing all 1000 texts.
Use context.textMeasure to calculate the bounding box of all 1000 texts relative to the image.
Save the info about each text in an object
var texts=[];
var texts[0]={ text:'text#0', x:100, y:100, width:35, height:20 }
...
context.drawImage that image on a canvas using an offset-X to 'pan' the image. This way you only have 1 canvas element instead of 1000 text elements.
In the mousedown handler, check if the mouse position is inside the bounding box of any text.
If the mouse is clicked inside a text bounding box, absolutely position an input-type-text directly over the text on the canvas. This way you only need 1 input element which can be reused for any of the 1000 texts.
Use the abilities of the input element to let the user edit the text. The canvas element has no native text editing abilities so don't "recreate the wheel" by coding canvas text editing.
When the user is done editing, recalculate the bounding box of the newly edited text and save it to the text object.
Redraw the offscreen canvas containing all 1000 texts with the newly edited text and draw it to the onscreen canvas.
Panning: if the user drags the onscreen canvas, draw the offscreen canvas onto the onscreen canvas with an offset equal to the distance the user has dragged the mouse. Panning is nearly instantaneous because drawing the offscreen canvas into the onscreen canvas-viewport is much, much faster than moving 1000 DOM input elements

I just run couple tests and it seems that moving absolutely positioned (position:absolute;) DOM elements (divs) with CSS transform:translate is even faster (by about 30%) than doing it via Canvas. But I was using CreateJS framework for the canvas job so my results may not hold for other use cases.

Kineticjs - free rotate on image

I need help only having the anchors for rotating. Right now there is five anchors and I don't know how to get rid of all of them except the rotate one. I would also only like the anchors to show when the user hovers over the image

You can use each anchors show/hide methods inside the images mouseenter/mouseleave events to display the anchors when the mouse enters the image:
image.on("mouseleave",function(){ anchor1.hide(); }
image.on("mouseenter",function(){ anchor1.show(); layer.draw(); }
Problem is that since your anchors are partly outside your image, so hiding the anchors when the mouse leaves the image might make the anchors "disappear" when the user intends to use them.
The ideal solution would be to listen for mouseenter/mouseleave events on the group which contains the image but also extends to include the outside part of the anchors. Unfortunately, a Kinetic.Group will not respond to mouseenter/mouseleave events.
A workaround is to create a Kinetic.Rect background to the group which includes the images plus the anchors. The rect will listen for mouseenter/mouseleave events and will show/hide the anchors. If you don't want the background rect to be visible, just set it's opacity to .001. The rect will still listen for events, but will be invisible.
groupBackgroundRect.on("mouseleave",function(){ anchor1.hide(); }
groupBackgroundRect.on("mouseenter",function(){ anchor1.show(); layer.draw(); }
A related note:
With KineticJS, combining rotation with resizing is made more difficult than it needs to be because KineticJS uses offsetX/offsetY as both an object's rotation point and as an offset to its position. Your key to making it work will be to re-center the offset point after resizing so that your rotation takes place around the new centerpoint--not the previous centerpoint. (or reset the offset reference point to any other point that you want to rotate around).

Raphael transform object diagonally and infinite setIntervals

I'm working on a small animation where the user drags a circle and the circle returns back to the starting point. I figured out a way to have the circle return to the starting point. The only problem is that it will hit one of the sides of the frame before returning. Is it possible for it to go straight back (follow the path of a line drawn between the shape and starting point).
The other problem is that my setInterval doesn't want to stop. If you try pulling it a second time it would pull it back before you release your mouse. It also seems to speed up after every time. I have tried using a while loop with a timer but the results weren't as good. Is this fixable?
var paper = Raphael(0, 0, 320, 200);
//var path = paper.path("M10 10L40 40").attr({stoke:'#000000'});
//var pathArray = path.attr("path");
var circle = paper.circle(50, 50, 20);
var newX;
var newY;
circle.attr("fill", "#f00");
circle.attr("stroke", "#fff");
var start = function () {
this.attr({cx: 50, cy: 50});
this.cx = this.attr("cx"),
this.cy = this.attr("cy");
},
move = function (dx, dy) {
var X = this.cx + dx,
Y = this.cy + dy;
this.attr({cx: X, cy: Y});
},
up = function () {
setInterval(function () {
if(circle.attr('cx') > 50){
circle.attr({cx : (circle.attr('cx') - 1)});
} else if (circle.attr('cx') < 50){
circle.attr({cx : (circle.attr('cx') + 1)});
}
if(circle.attr('cy') > 50){
circle.attr({cy : (circle.attr('cy') - 1)});
} else if (circle.attr('cy') < 50){
circle.attr({cy : (circle.attr('cy') + 1)});
}
path.attr({path: pathArray});
},2);
};
circle.drag(move, start, up);
Here's the Jfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Uznp2/
Thanks alot :D

I modified the "up" function to the one below
up = function () {
//starting x, y of circle to go back to
var interval = 1000;
var startingPointX = 50;
var startingPointY = 50;
var centerX = this.getBBox().x + (this.attr("r")/2);
var centerY = this.getBBox().y + (this.attr("r")/2);
var transX = (centerX - startingPointX) * -1;
var transY = (centerY - startingPointY) * -1;
this.animate({transform: "...T"+transX+", "+transY}, interval);
};
and the "start" function as follows:
var start = function () {
this.cx = this.attr("cx"),
this.cy = this.attr("cy");
}
Is this the behavior you are looking for? Sorry if I misunderstood the question.

If the circle need to get back to its initial position post drag, we can achieve that via simple animation using transform attribute.
// Assuming that (50,50) is the location the circle prior to drag-move (as seen in the code provided)
// The animation is set to execute in 1000 milliseconds, using the easing function of 'easeIn'.
up = function () {
circle.animate({transform: 'T50,50'}, 1000, 'easeIn');
};
Hope this helps.
