Raphael path not displayed - javascript

I believe I have a syntax error, but I have tried everything and can't figure this out. I am using the Raphael Javascript vector graphics library, and trying to draw a black line from 170, 170 to 150, 150, but nothing is being displayed. Can anyone tell why?
<html>
<head>
<script src="raphael.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="sample-2" style=" background-color:blue; width:500px;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var paper = Raphael("sample-2", 900, 500);
//var curvePath = paper.path("M100,100 L400,400 C500,400 500,100 400,100");
//curvePath.attr({fill:"blue", stroke:"black"});
//var circle = paper.circle(175, 175, 50);
var newpath = paper.path({type:"path", path:"M170, 170 L150, 150", stroke:"black"});
//circle.attr({"fill": "orange"});
//circle.attr({"stroke": "black"});
</script>
</body>
</html>​

You're misusing the Paper.path() constructor. Call it with a single string argument, representing the path string:
var newpath = paper.path("M170, 170 L150, 150");
If you wish to change the path's attributes, e.g. stroke color, fill, fonts use the attr() method, like so:
newpath.attr({
'stroke' : 'black',
'stroke-width' : 3
});
Raphaël Reference:
Paper.path()
Element.attr()

Using Raphaël from a jQuery call

I'm trying to create a simple application for drawing a graph based on user input. I'm using Raphaël and jQuery. I'd like to have the user give their input on a form, and then draw the SVG graphic. The problem I'm having is that when I call the draw function from within a jQuery click event, the SVG object flickers and then disappears. There's a MWE below. (Perhaps it could be more minimal.) How can I make sure that the graphic stays there after the button click?
<!doctype html>

<button id="generate-button">Generate</button>
</form>
<div id="canvas"/>
<script>
function CustomObject() {
this.draw = function() {
// Creates canvas 320 × 200 at 10, 50
paper = Raphael("canvas", 100, 100 );
boundary = window.paper.rect( 5, 5, 25, 25 );
boundary.attr("stroke-dasharray" , "--" );
// Creates circle at x = 50, y = 40, with radius 10
circle = paper.circle(50, 40, 10);
// Sets the fill attribute of the circle to red (#f00)
circle.attr("fill", "#f00");
// Sets the stroke attribute of the circle to white
circle.attr("stroke", "#fff");
}
}
var plot = new CustomObject();
// plot.draw(); // if I call it here, the scene is drawn "normally"
$( "#generate-button" )
.button()
.click(function() {
plot.draw(); // when I call it here, the SVG flickers and disappears
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
The default type for a button is submit and when inside a form will try to submit the form.
Your click handler is executing and then submitting the form which is causing the flicker.
Either take the button out of the form or return false from the click event handler as this will disable the browsers default action.

Raphael animation

I am new to Raphael and am trying to do something very simple, but failing miserably.
I am trying to replicate the animation at this link This is the code I have so far:
<html>
<head><title></title>
<script src="raphael-min.js"></script>
<script src=" src="jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="draw-here-raphael" style="height: 200px; width: 400px; background: #666;">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
//all your javascript goes here
var r = new Raphael("draw-here-raphael", 400, 200),
// Store where the box is
position = 'left',
// Make our pink rectangle
rect = r.rect(20, 20, 50, 50).attr({"fill": "#fbb"});
// Note JQuery is adding the mouseover. SVG == html nodes
$(rect.node).mouseover(function () {
if (position === 'left') {
rect.animate({x: 300, y: 100}, 400, "<>");
position = 'right';
} else {
rect.animate({x: 20, y: 20 }, 800, "bounce");
position = 'left';
}
});
// Make that sucker rotate
setInterval(function () {
rect.rotate(1);
}, 10);
</script>
</body>
</html>
I have downloaded jquery and have it in the same folder as the Raphael. The code that isn't working is the commented code talking about jquery adding the mouseover. When I add that code the rectangle doesn't rotate anymore. It is just stationary. If someone can please help me with this animation I would appreciate it.
Thanks
You have an error in your code:
<script src=" src="jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
Change it to:
<script src="jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
That should correct your problem with jQuery.

Canvas draggable with kineticJS and Clip function

I've a problem which deals with canvas.
I would like to use kinetic to use mobile events (most particularly for draggable) and I would also like to use the clip() function at the same time.
Here is my code :
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<style>
canvas {
border: 1px solid #9C9898;
}
</style>
<script src="kinetic-v3.9.4.js"></script>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
var stage = new Kinetic.Stage({
container: "container",
width: 708,
height: 500
});
var layer = new Kinetic.Layer();
var circle1 = new Kinetic.Circle({
x: 150,
y: 150,
radius: 75,
fill: "red",
draggable: true
});
var circle2 = new Kinetic.Circle({
x: 350,
y: 150,
radius: 75,
fill: "blue",
});
layer.add(circle2);
layer.add(circle1);
stage.add(layer);
};
</script>
</head>
<body onmousedown="return false;">
<div id="container"></div>
</body>
</html>
I've the first circle draggable but I would like to use it and the clip function but I don't really know how to do it. In addition, I tried to get the 2d context like this:
var context = this.getContext();
But it didn't work. If there's someone that can help me thanks.
I also saw this example but it doesn't work with mobile devices.
The reason why the example you mentioned doesn't work on mobile is because its only using mouse event handlers:
stage.on("mousemove", function(){})
But you'll need to add touch events like this:
stage.on("mousemove touchmove", function(){})
touchstart, touchmove, touchend
Good luck!

kinetic-v3.8.2.js breaks kinetic-v3.6.0.js and kinetic-image-plugin-v1.0.1.js, how to fix?

I'm trying to make a kinetic canvas where I can add pictures from another source dynamically and I wanted a grid in the background so I used the kinetic.rect from kinetic v3.8.2.
The images needs to be draggable, from kinetic v.3.6.0, but if I set draggable when having v3.8.2 active it breaks.
"config is undefined" according to FireBug.
"img.kinetic.draggable is not a method" says FireBug.
Is there a fix for this?
Can you post a small example? There have been changes to the Kinetic API. Here is a draggable image with 3.8.2:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/kinetic/kinetic-v3.8.2.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
window.onload = function () {
var stage = new Kinetic.Stage('container', 400, 300);
var layer = new Kinetic.Layer({
name: 'someLayer'
});
var logo = new Image();
logo.onload = function() {
var myImage = new Kinetic.Image({
x: stage.width / 2 - (logo.width / 2)
, y: stage.height - logo.height - 5
, image: logo
, width: logo.width
, height: logo.height
});
myImage.draggable(true)
layer.add(myImage);
layer.draw();
}
logo.src = "\./resources/images/ccs_logo.png";
stage.add(layer)
}
</script>
</head>
<body onmousedown="return false;" bgcolor=#000000>
<div id="container">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Most notably, configs were recently introduced for class instantiation. A Kinetic rectangle used to be defined like so:
var rect = new Kinetic.Rectangle(function () {
//do drawing stuff here
});
But now it is defined with a config (an object literal):
var rect = new Kinetic.Rectangle({
x: 0,
y: 0,
height: 20,
width: 20
});
You can see examples in the docs; also check out the updated KineticJS Tutorials.

how to call raphael methods on jquery objects?

I'm creating some circles using Raphael. When a user clicks a button, I want to animate these circles (by growing their radius). How do I do this?
For example, here's my example code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="raphael.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
var paper = new Raphael("canvas_container", 300, 150);
paper.circle(50, 75, 30);
paper.circle(150, 75, 30);
$("button").click(function() {
$("circle").each(function(i) {
this.animate({ r: 100 }, 500); // Doesn't work.
});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="canvas_container"></div>
<button>Click me to animate the circles</button>
</body>
</html>
[In general, I'm not clear what is the difference between the following two variables:
var c = paper.circle(50, 75, 30); // Raphael circle
$("circle").first(); // using jQuery to grab that Raphael circle
Is the jQuery object a wrapper around the Raphael circle?]
Reading through the Raphaël Reference, it seems that you can do this using Raphaël's own Event methods
circle.click(function (event) {
this.animate({ r: 100 }, 500);
});
The same part of the documentation also notes that you can use libraries like jQuery, but you have to pass in the node, like this:
$(circle.node)
Where circle is the object returned from the paper.circle call.
In your case, however, I think the following code will work:
var paper = new Raphael("canvas_container", 300, 150),
circles = [];
circles.push(paper.circle(50, 75, 30));
circles.push(paper.circle(150, 75, 30));
$("button").click(function() {
$.each(circles, function(i, c){
c.animate({ r: 100 }, 500);
});
});
Your selector "circle" isn't targeting anything - there's no circle element for you to target. However, you could do this:
circle1 = paper.circle(50, 75, 30);
circle2 = paper.circle(150, 75, 30);
$("button").click(function() {
circle1.animate({ r: 100 }, 500);
circle2.animate({ r: 100 }, 500);
});
I couldn't tell you if you can animate() the circles based on the radius, but at the very least this gives you a jQuery object to work with.
