I'm experimenting with HTML5 canvas, and am having some issues with drawing Circle / Arc, when ever I make a circle, it appears to be more of a distorted oval. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here is my js, fiddle below the code.
<script>
$(document).ready(function drawOnCanvas() {
$("a#draw").click(function(){
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas_1");
if ( canvas.getContext ) {
var canvas_context = canvas.getContext("2d");
console.log("2D context supported");
// Drawing circles
var start_degrees = 0;
var end_degrees = 360;
var start_angle = ( Math.PI/180 ) * start_degrees;
var end_angle = ( Math.PI/180 ) * end_degrees;
canvas_context.beginPath();
canvas_context.arc(100,100,25,start_angle, end_angle, true);
canvas_context.strokeStyle="rgb(0,222,0)";
canvas_context.fill();
}
else{
alert("Not Working");
}
});
});
</script>
Fiddle:

The problem is that the canvas inner size isn't accorded to the viewport in which it's rendered.
Add this in the initialization :
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas_1');
canvas.height = canvas.clientHeight;
canvas.width = canvas.clientWidth
Demonstration
You should set the canvas size to have the correct aspect ratio
Example
<canvas id="canvas_1" width="500" height="500>
You need to set your canvas width and height so you get your calculations right. Try the below it seems to be working now in your fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/hLfHy/10/
canvas.height = $("#canvas_1").clientHeight;
canvas.width = $("#canvas_1").clientWidth;

Introduction
I'm trying to deal with blurry visuals on my canvas animation. The blurriness is especially prevalent on mobile-devices, retina and high-dpi (dots-per-inch) screens.
I'm looking for a way to ensure the pixels that are drawn using the canvas look their best on low-dpi screens and high-dpi screens. As a solution to this problem I red multiple articles about canvas-down-scaling and followed this tutorial:
https://www.kirupa.com/canvas/canvas_high_dpi_retina.htm
Integrating down-scaling in the project
The project in which I want to implement down-scaling can be found below and consists of a few important features:
There is a (big) main canvas. (Performance optimization)
There are multiple (pre-rendered) smaller canvasses that are used to draw and load a image into. (Performance optimization)
The canvas is animated. (In the code snippet, there is no visible animation but the animation function is intergrated.)
Question
What im trying to achieve: The problem I'm facing seems quite simple. When the website (with the canvas) is opened on a mobile device (eg. an Iphone, with more pixels per inch then a regular desktop). The images appear more blurry. What I'm actually trying to achieve is to remove this blurriness from the images. I red this and it stated that blurriness can be removed by downsampling. I tried to incorporate this technique in the code provided, but it did not work completely. The images just became larger and I was unable to scale the images back to the original size. snippet it is not implemented correctly, the output is still blurry. What did I do wrong and how am I able to fix this issue?
Explanation of the code snippet
The variable devicePixelRatio is set to 2 to simulate a high-dpi phone screen, low-dpi screens have a devicePixelRatio of 1.
Multiple pre-rendered canvasses generated is the function spawn is the snippet there are 5 different canvasses, but on the production environment there are 10's.
If there are any pieces of information missing or questions about this post, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Currently implementing an eye dropper. It works fine in my normal resolution of 1080p, but when testing on a higher or lower resolution it doesn't work.
This is the basics of the code:
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
canvas.on('mouse:down', function(e) {
var newColor = dropColor(e, ctx);
}
function dropColor(e, ctx) {
var mouse = canvas.getPointer(e.e),
x = parseInt(mouse.x),
y = parseInt(mouse.y),
px = ctx.getImageData(x, y, 1, 1).data;
return rgb2hex('rgba('+px+')');
}
When I first initiate the canvas I have it resize to fit resolution:
setResolution(16/9);
function setResolution(ratio) {
var conWidth = ($(".c-container").css('width')).replace(/\D/g,'');
var conHeight = ($(".c-container").css('height')).replace(/\D/g,'');
var tempWidth = 0;
var tempHeight = 0;
tempHeight = conWidth / ratio;
tempWidth = conHeight * ratio;
if (tempHeight > conHeight) {
canvas.setWidth(tempWidth);
canvas.setHeight(conHeight);
} else {
canvas.setWidth(conWidth);
canvas.setHeight(tempHeight);
}
}
The x and y mouse coordinates work fine when zoomed in, but they don't line up with the returned image data. It seems as though the ctx isn't changing it's width and height and scaling along with the actual canvas size.
The canvas element is showing the correct width and height before using getContext as well.
Any ideas on a solution?
Feel free to check out the full scripts on the live website at: http://minimedit.com/
Try "fabric.devicePixelRatio" for calculating actual position, for example:
x = parseInt(mouse.x) * fabric.devicePixelRatio
I am trying to create a pannable image viewer which also allows magnification. If the zoom factor or the image size is such that the image no longer paints over the entire canvas then I wish to have the area of the canvas which does not contain the image painted with a specified background color.
My current implementation allows for zooming and panning but with the unwanted effect that the image leaves a tiled trail after it during a pan operation (much like the cards in windows Solitaire when you win a game). How do I clean up my canvas such that the image does not leave a trail and my background rectangle properly renders in my canvas?
To recreate the unwanted effect set magnification to some level at which you see the dark gray background show and then pan the image with the mouse (mouse down and drag).

You need to reset the transform.
Add context.setTransform(1,0,0,1,0,0); just before you clear the canvas and that will fix your problem. It sets the current transform to the default value. Then befor the image is draw set the transform for the image.
UPDATE:
When interacting with user input such as mouse or touch events it should be handled independently of rendering. The rendering will fire only once per frame and make visual changes for any mouse changes that happened during the previous refresh interval. No rendering is done if not needed.
Dont use save and restore if you don't need to.
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas1');
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var photo = new Image();
var mouse = {}
mouse.lastY = mouse.lastX = mouse.y = mouse.x = 0;

Nice Code ;)
You are seeing the 'tiled' effect in your demonstration because you are painting the scaled image to the canvas on top of itself each time the drawScreen() function is called while dragging. You can rectify this in two simple steps.
First, you need to clear the canvas between calls to drawScreen() and second, you need to use the canvas context.save() and context.restore() methods to cleanly reset the canvas transform matrix between calls to drawScreen().
Given your code as is stands:
Create a function to clear the canvas. e.g.
function clearCanvas() {
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
}
In the canavs.onmousemove() function, call clearCanvas() and invoke context.save() before redefining the transform matrix...
canvas.onmousemove = function(e) {
if(!isDown) return;
var x = e.offsetX;
var y = e.offsetY;
/* !!! */
clearCanvas();
context.save();
context.setTransform(
1, 0, 0, 1,
x - startCoords[0], y - startCoords[1]
);
drawScreen();
}
... then conditionally invoke context.restore() at the end of drawScreen() ...
function drawScreen() {
context.fillRect(0,0, windowWidth, windowHeight);
context.fillStyle="#333333";
context.drawImage(photo,0,0,imageDimensions.width*scale,imageDimensions.height*scale);
/* !!! */
if (isDown) context.restore();
}
Additionally, you may want to call clearCanvas() before rescaling the image, and the canvas background could be styled with CSS rather than .fillRect() (in drawScreen()) - which could give a performance gain on low spec devices.

Paul Irish, requestAnimationFrame polyfill : http://www.paulirish.com/2011/requestanimationframe-for-smart-animating/
Call context.save to save the transformation matrix before you call context.fillRect.
Then whenever you need to draw your image, call context.restore to restore the matrix.
For example:
function drawScreen(){
context.save();
context.fillStyle="#333333";
context.fillRect(0,0, windowWidth, windowHeight);
context.restore();
context.drawImage(photo,0,0,imageDimensions.width*scale,imageDimensions.height*scale);
}
Also, to further optimize, you only need to set fillStyle once until you change the size of canvas.
I'm using createJS to drawn inside the canvas. I have my canvas set to occupy the browser window maintaining aspect ratio using the resize() function.
This is the code:
mytext = new createjs.Text("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet 2","19px Calibri","#073949");
mytext.x = 450
mytext.y = 300;
stage.addChild(mytext);
resize = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var canvasRatio = canvas.height / canvas.width;
var windowRatio = window.innerHeight / window.innerWidth;
var width;
var height;
if (windowRatio < canvasRatio) {
height = window.innerHeight - 35;
width = height / canvasRatio;
} else {
width = window.innerWidth;
height = width * canvasRatio;
}
canvas.style.width = width + 'px';
canvas.style.height = height + 'px';
}()
What happens is that the text gets blurry (decrease of quality) when the canvas resizes.

How can I solve this issue?
Since you are using CreateJS, you can simply resize the canvas, and scale the entire stage to redraw everything at the new size:
// just showing width to simplify the example:
var newWidth = 800;
var scale = newWidth/myCanvas.width;
myCanvas.width = newWidth;
myStage.scaleX = myStage.scaleY = scale;
myStage.update(); // draw at the new size.
#Adam's answer is correct as far as scaling the canvas goes. You do NOT want to scale with CSS, as it will stretch your canvas instead of changing its pixel dimensions. Set the width and height of the canvas using JavaScript instead.
stage.canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
stage.canvas.height = window.innerHeight;
As you stated in your comment, this will only change the canvas size, and not reposition or scale your content. You will have to do this manually. This is fairly simple. Generally, I recommend putting your "resize" listener in the JavaScript in your HTML file, rather than on a frame script.
First, determine the scale, based on the size of the window and the size of your content. You can use the exportRoot.nominalBounds.width and exportRoot.nominalBounds.height which is the bounds of the first frame. If you want to scale something else, use its nominalBounds instead.
Note that nominalBounds is appended to all MovieClips exported from Flash/Animate. If you enable multi-frame bounds, and want to use those, you will have to modify your approach.
The main idea is to use the original, unscaled size of your contents.
var bounds = exportRoot.nominalBounds;
// Uses the larger of the width or height. This will "fill" the viewport.
// Change to Math.min to "fit" instead.
var scale = Math.max(window.innerWidth / bounds.width, window.innerHeight / bounds.height);
exportRoot.scaleX = exportRoot.scaleY = scale;
You can then center it if you want.
exportRoot.x = *window.innerWidth - bounds.width*scale)/2;
exportRoot.y = *window.innerHeight - bounds.height*scale)/2;
Here is a quick sample of a responsive canvas using a simple shape as the scaling contents:
http://jsfiddle.net/lannymcnie/4yy08pax/
Doing this with Flash/Animate CC export has come up a few times, so it is on my list of future EaselJS demos to include on createjs.com, and in the EaselJS GitHub.
I hope this helps.
Take a look at my jsfiddle : https://jsfiddle.net/CanvasCode/ecr7o551/1/
Basically you just store the original canvas size and then use that to work out new positions and sizes
html
<canvas id="canvas" width="400" height="400">
Canvas was unable to start up.
</canvas>
<button onclick="resize()">Click me</button>
javascript
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var originalWidth = canvas.width;
var originalHeight = canvas.height;
render = function()
{
context.fillStyle = "#DDD";
context.fillRect(0,0, originalWidth * (canvas.width / originalWidth), originalHeight * (canvas.height / originalHeight));
context.fillStyle = "#000";
var fontSize = 48 * (canvas.width / originalWidth);
context.font = fontSize+"px serif";
context.fillText("Hello world", 100 * (canvas.width / originalWidth), 200 * (canvas.height / originalHeight));
}
resize = function()
{
canvas.width = 800;
canvas.height = 600;
render();
}
render();
The HTML5 canvas element works with two different sizes
Visual size on screen, controlled via CSS, like you're setting with canvas.style.width/height
Size of pixel buffer for the drawing, controlled via numeric width and height pixel attributes on the canvas element.
The browser will stretch the buffer to fit the size on screen, so if the two values are not 1:1 ratio text will look blurry.
Try adding the following lines to your code
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
I created a function to resize all the elements on the screen after resizing the canvas. It saves the initial coordinates and scales for the elements with the original width of 900 px and then it changes them according to the current width ratio relative to the original width ratio. The text isn't blurry/bad quality anymore.
resize = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var canvasRatio = canvas.height / canvas.width;
var windowRatio = window.innerHeight / window.innerWidth;
var width;
var height;
if (windowRatio < canvasRatio) {
height = window.innerHeight;
width = height / canvasRatio;
} else {
width = window.innerWidth;
height = width * canvasRatio;
}
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
reziseElements();
};
reziseElements = function()
{
var canvrat = canvas.width / 900;
//Simplified
stage.scaleX = stage.scaleY = canvrat;
//Old Version
/*for (i=0; i<stage.numChildren ;i++)
{
currentChild = stage.getChildAt(i);
if (typeof currentChild.oscaleX == 'undefined')
{
currentChild.oscaleX = currentChild.scaleX;
currentChild.ox = currentChild.x;
currentChild.oy = currentChild.y;
}
}
for (i=0; i<stage.numChildren ;i++)
{
currentChild = stage.getChildAt(i);
currentChild.scaleX = currentChild.scaleY = currentChild.oscaleX * canvrat
currentChild.x = currentChild.ox * canvrat
currentChild.y = currentChild.oy * canvrat
} */
}
I have created a basic shape in HTML canvas element which works fine.
The problem occurs when I resize the canvas, all the drawing in the canvas disappears. Is this the normal behavior? or is there a function that can be used to stop this?
One way to fix this could be to call drawing function again on canvas resize however this may not be very efficient if there is huge content to be drawn.
What's the best way?
Here is the link to sample code https://gist.github.com/2983915
You need to redraw the scene when you resize.
setting the width or height of a canvas, even if you are setting it to the same value as before, not only clears the canvas but resets the entire canvas context. Any set properties (fillStyle, lineWidth, the clipping region, etc) will also be reset.
If you do not have the ability to redraw the scene from whatever data structures you might have representing the canvas, you can always save the entire canvas itself by drawing it to an in-memory canvas, setting the original width, and drawing the in-memory canvas back to the original canvas.
Here's a really quick example of saving the canvas bitmap and putting it back after a resize:
http://jsfiddle.net/simonsarris/weMbr/
Everytime you resize the canvas it will reset itself to transparant black, as defined in the spec.
You will either have to:
redraw when you resize the canvas, or,
don't resize the canvas
One another way is to use the debounce if you are concerned with the performance.
It doesnt resize or redraw every position you are dragging. But it will resize only when the it is resized.
// Assume canvas is in scope
addEventListener.("resize", debouncedResize );
// debounce timeout handle
var debounceTimeoutHandle;
// The debounce time in ms (1/1000th second)
const DEBOUNCE_TIME = 100;
// Resize function
function debouncedResize () {
clearTimeout(debounceTimeoutHandle); // Clears any pending debounce events
// Schedule a canvas resize
debounceTimeoutHandle = setTimeout(resizeCanvas, DEBOUNCE_TIME);
}
// canvas resize function
function resizeCanvas () { ... resize and redraw ... }
I had the same problem. Try following code
var wrapper = document.getElementById("signature-pad");
var canvas = wrapper.querySelector("canvas");
var ratio = Math.max(window.devicePixelRatio || 1, 1);
canvas.width = canvas.offsetWidth * ratio;
canvas.height = canvas.offsetHeight * ratio;
It keeps the drawing as it is
One thing that worked for me was to use requestAnimationFrame().
let height = window.innerHeight;
let width = window.innerWidth;
function handleWindowResize() {
height = window.innerHeight;
width = window.innerWidth;
}
function render() {
// Draw your fun shapes here
// ...
// Keep this on the bottom
requestAnimationFrame(render);
}
// Canvas being defined at the top of the file.
function init() {
ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
render();
}
I had the same problem when I had to resize the canvas to adjust it to the screen.
But I solved it with this code:
var c = document.getElementById('canvas');
ctx = c.getContext('2d');
ctx.fillRect(0,0,20,20);
// Save canvas settings
ctx.save();
// Save canvas context
var dataURL = c.toDataURL('image/jpeg');
// Resize canvas
c.width = 50;
c.height = 50;
// Restore canvas context
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src = dataURL;
img.onload=function(){
ctx.drawImage(img,20,20);
}
// Restote canvas settings
ctx.restore();
<canvas id=canvas width=40 height=40></canvas>
I also met this problem.but after a experiment, I found that Resizing the canvas element will automatically clear all drawings off the canvas!
just try the code below
<canvas id = 'canvas'></canvas>
<script>
var canvas1 = document.getElementById('canvas')
console.log('canvas size',canvas1.width, canvas1.height)
var ctx = canvas1.getContext('2d')
ctx.font = 'Bold 48px Arial'
var f = ctx.font
canvas1.width = 480
var f1 = ctx.font
alert(f === f1) //false
</script>
