When I first started this project that I'm working on, my canvas size with 1400px wide and 480px tall. I realized that I am going to need to make the canvas the same size as the window itself later, so I did that and everything inside of the canvas zoomed in or something. I set a drawImage(); to be 300 px wide and 180 px tall, and it is a LOT bigger than that, the image is actually the same width as the canvas now. Any suggestions? Here's the link to the project:

Thank you guys!
You have set the dimensions through css, instead of the physical dimensions of the (image) canvas.
The relevant piece (for others to read in the future) of your code is:
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas1");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var windowHeight = $(window).height();
var windowWidth = $(window).width();
$(canvas).css({
height: windowHeight - 8,
width: windowWidth - 8
});
Think of it like this: suppose you have a normal jpg-image.
That jpg has it's own 'physical' dimensions (aka width and height).
In both HTML and CSS you can set the dimensions (in px, percent, etc) that you'd like the browser to render (scale) the picture (hey, the picture already has a immutable size right?).
Now for canvas:
In order for canvas to have a physical width/height, you have to set the .width and .height of the canvas-element itself, either in HTML or per javascript (a side-effect is that setting the physical dimensions is that the canvas will clear itself, as per spec).
Then to scale the image (like you did with the above jpg example) you use css (again in px/percent/etc).
I think this is a clever solution by the way to add that new canvas-element to the HTML-Spec!
So, rounding up:
A canvas with a width and a height of 300 px rendered as 100% of a container (like document.body) that measures 900x900px will be scaled-up 3 times!
The reverse (scaling down) will let you draw even more crisp lines by the way!
Hope this helps your understanding!

I'm trying to show images with different aspect ratios on 1080x1920 canvas. So when I try to show 9:16 images, it scales perfectly, but if aspect ratio is 4:3 or 3:4, scaled image stretches.
What I want to do is, if aspect ratio is 3:4, scaling and showing image as 9:16 on center and cutting edges. (So if original width is 1440, showing only 1080 and leaving 180px at each side off the screen. And if original width is 3024, scaling it down to 1440 and then cut)
And if image is not portrait but landscape, showing it on center and filling remaining space with some color.
How can I achive this? Does KonvaJS provides easy way to do this?
No konvaJS does not provide a way around that, you need to use your own logic for positioning the image at the center for different resolutions.
I have used logic for finding the image resolution which fits the provided dimensions in my personal project. Check if it helps.
function getScaledImageCoordinates(
containerWidth,
containerHeigh,
widt,
height,
) {
var widthRatio = (containerWidth) / width,
heightRatio = (containerHeight) / height
var bestRatio = Math.min(widthRatio, heightRatio)
var newWidth = width * bestRatio,
newHeight = height * bestRatio
return {newWidth, newHeight}
}
You can find the image resolution that fits your container (say 1080x1920) and then center position the image on Konva Stage
I'm working on a sketchpad application using html canvas and javascript (trying to stay away from jQuery). The canvas needs to be responsive and I've found several methods to do so, but each one stretches out the canvas and makes the sketchpad unusable. It's hard to explain without seeing the problem. Here's the CodePen. Try drawing inside the canvas and you'll see what I'm talking about. The current method I'm using to resize the canvas incorporates offsetWidth and offsetHeight like so:
var sketchpadContainer = [
document.getElementById('container').offsetWidth,
document.getElementById('container').offsetHeight]
var canvas = document.getElementById('sketchpad');
canvas.style.height = sketchpadContainer[1] + "px";
canvas.style.width = sketchpadContainer[0] + "px";
Is there a way to make the canvas responsive while at the same time keeping the dimensions of the sketch intact?
The CSS width and height properties are NOT the same as the width and height attributes on a Canvas element.
If you absolutely need to use css to set width/height, keep a scale factor of your default canvas size, then multiple the target x and y positions of your mouse position by the inverse of the x/y scale factors (or just divide the target position by them).
Using css to resize your canvas is a bit too hacky imo (and will leave your lines blurry), I highly recommend you instead simlpy change with width/height attributes of your canvas and use CanvasRenderingContext2D.scale() to change the size of your lines (A scale factor will still need to be used to calculate your true mouse pos, however)
Simply change
canvas.style.height = sketchpadContainer[1] + "px";
canvas.style.width = sketchpadContainer[0] + "px";
to
canvas.height = sketchpadContainer[1];
canvas.width = sketchpadContainer[0];
Apply CanvasRenderingContext2D.scale() when you first get your context, and then do as I mentioned above. (ctx.lineTo(x,y); -> ctx.lineTo(x/scaleFactorX,y/scaleFactorY); & lastX=x; -> lastX=x/scaleFactorX;)

I'm trying to make a full screen game to help me learn JS. I made a canvas item and streched it to the size of the screen using CSS. Then I draw a circle. The issue I have is that the circle looks terrible!
_draw.arc(20, 20, 10, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
Here is a jsfiddle example. http://jsfiddle.net/H5dHD/152/
I've tried using different scale factors (so _draw.scale) but it dosent seem to matter...
What am I doing wrong?
P.S. I know the coordinates are off. I didn't include that code for the example.
The problem is that you resized the canvas using the CSS-style, and do not change the actual width and height. When you use CSS styling to change the size, the canvas will be stretched, but the internal drawing resolution stays the same. The result is that the canvas blurs.
To change the internal resolution, change the width and height attributes of the canvas HTML element itself.
document.getElementById('iDraw').height = screen.availHeight;
document.getElementById('iDraw').width = screen.availWidth;
Here is your updated fiddle:

I am drawing a series of rectangles and text on an HTML5 Canvas. But this canvas will ultimately be printed. The rectangles are drawn according of the height of the paper(canvas)
The only canvas width that doesn't distort the text is the 300dpi or 2400x3300 canvas. This works well for print but its obviously huge on the screen.
I would like the user to have a scaled down version of the canvas on the left side that fits 100% height of the parent container with scroll bars for overflow.
I have tried div overflow:auto.. and this does work but its not scaled (still scrolling a huge version). So basically I would like to scale the image for the browser window but do all drawing/printing from the big canvas.
For this scenario you can use CSS rules with the canvas.
ONLINE DEMO HERE
Keep the pixel size but add the following rules to the canvas element itself (assuming the id of the canvas is canvas):
canvas.style.width = 'auto';
canvas.style.height = '100%';
or apply a CSS rule to the element via CSS and HTML:
.printCanvas {
width:auto;
height:100%;
}
and then in the HTML:
<canvas id="canvas" class="printCanvas" width="2400" height="3300"></canvas>
This should allow the browser to use the actual content of the canvas when printing even when the canvas is scaled down (like with an image).
In this example the canvas will fit the height of parent provided the parent has height defined. You can use as you already do overflow:auto to get scroll-bars.
If you want to show 50% of the canvas inside the parent just set height:200% for the canvas element and so on.
Note that you might loose some details on the screen if the canvas is scaled much but these should show on the print. This would be due to sub-pixeling which kicks in when a pixel is drawn as less than an actual pixel on the screen.
What I'd like to do is create a 15 by 15 pixel sized canvas with jQuery and I am looking for an elegant way to do it.
I currently create a canvas with jQuery like this:
var canvasNode = $('<canvas />', {
style:'display:block',
width:15,
});
// canvasNode[0].width=15;
canvasNode[0].height=15;
An oddity is that the width:15 in that has no effect while the currently commented out line below does what I'd like to do. I also tried style:'display:block;width:15px;' but while that displays the canvas at 15px width the canvas itself stays at its large default size so its just being scaled so that's not what I seek.
In case you are really worried about performance, this is the fastest way (untested, but I'm sure it is):
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = 15;
canvas.height = 15;
That is, no jQuery at all.
Note that sending in an object with a width property will set the css width to 15px (basically just scaling the canvas), the canvas will still be created with the default number of pixels in width if no width attribute is specified, which is usually 300 pixels.
Just set the width and height attributes:
$('<canvas />', {
style:'display:block'
}).attr('width', 15).attr('height', 15);
