HTML5 Canvas Tooltips - javascript

I am using the HTML5 Canvas. I have added images (BitmapImages) to the canvas and I now want to add simple tooltips to these bitmap images.
Is this possible ??? If so can someone tell / show me how I could achieve this ?
I am not sure if it makes a difference , but I am also using the Easel JS Framework ...
Here is an example of what I currently have:
var container = new Container(); // EaselJS Container
container.x = 100;
container.y = 100;
stage.addChild(container);
var image = new Image();
image.src = "image.png";
var bitmap = new Bitmap(image);
bitmap.x = 5;
bitmap.y = 5;
bitmap.mouseEnabled = true;
container.addChild(bitmap);
...
I have not tested this code, but basically a bitmap image is created and added to my stage. I now want to add a simple tool tip to my bitmap image, but cant seem to work out how :(
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jon.

Here's how I would do it:
stage.enableMouseOver();
bitmap.onMouseOver = function(e) {
stage.canvas.title = 'put your tooltip text here';
}
bitmap.onMouseOut = function(e) {
stage.canvas.title = '';
}
This works by using tooltips already provided by the browser.

Weird stuttering when generating animated gifs using gifshot.js on ios

Ok, so a little bit of background... I'm trying to generate animated gifs from animations done on an HTML5 canvas using JavaScript. Specifically, I'm adding data layers to a Mapbox GL JS map and looping through them.
On each iteration, I save the canvas element and transform it to a blob before calling URL.createObjectURL(blob) and setting that as the source to a new image. After the loop is finished I generate a gif using gifshot (https://github.com/yahoo/gifshot) and the images I previously created.
This process works perfectly in all browsers (mobile too!) EXCEPT on iPhone ios. On ios the gif has weird stutters and transparency issues. I have tried other gif creation libraies but all have the same issue on ios. Could it be a memory problem or something? I'm at my wit's end on this, so any help is greatly appreciated!
This is the code inside each loop:
var cv = map.getCanvas()
var oneImage = new Image();
cv.toBlob(function(blob) {
url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
oneImage.src = url
images_arr.push(oneImage)
i++;
setTimeout(function(){
gifLoop(images_arr);
},1000)
})
and this is the code I call when the loop is finished:
var w = window.innerWidth;
var h = window.innerHeight;
recalculated_size = calculateAspectRatioFit(w, h, maxWidth, maxHeight)
w = recalculated_size.width
h = recalculated_size.height
gifshot.createGIF({
'images': images_arr,
'gifWidth': w,
'gifHeight':h,
},function(obj) {
if(!obj.error) {
var image = dataURItoBlob(obj.image)
image = URL.createObjectURL(image);
var animatedImage = document.getElementById('gif');
animatedImage.src = image
var link = $('#gif-link');
link.attr('href',image);
filename = curr_layer_id + '_' + curr_time +'.gif'
link.attr('download', filename);
}
});

Createjs add text to image

I am trying to create a speech bubble with some aligned text inside of it. for this purpose i have found this excellent github:
Scalebitmap
Now the problem is that i cannot seem to get my text inside of it. and i was wondering if any of you had attempted it.
here is some of the code ive written for this purpose:
var image = new Image();
image.onload = function() { stage.update(); }
image.src = "assets/ScaleBitmapImage.png";
var text = new createjs.Text("Hello World", "20px Arial", "#ff7700");
var sb = new createjs.ScaleBitmap(image, new createjs.Rectangle(12, 12, 5, 50));
sb.setDrawSize(200, 300);
stage.addChild(sb);
createjs.Tween.get(sb).to({alpha: 0},5000).call(doneAnimating);
function doneAnimating() {
createjs.Ticker.removeEventListener("tick", stage);
}
Now i want to align the Hello world inside of the image but im very new to createjs and have no idea how to :)
You need to create a Container that holds both the bitmap and the text instances.
var container = new createjs.Container();
var sb = new createjs.ScaleBitmap();
var text = new createjs.Text();
container.addChild(sb, text);
stage.addChild(container);
You already know the rectangle of the ScaleBitmap, so you should be able to position the text using that.

jQuery and Canvas loading behaviour

After being a long time lurker, this is my first post here! I've been RTFMing and searching everywhere for an answer to this question to no avail. I will try to be as informative as I can, hope you could help me.
This code is for my personal webpage.
I am trying to implement some sort of a modern click-map using HTML5 and jQuery.
In the website you would see the main image and a hidden canvas with the same size at the same coordinates with this picture drawn into it.
When the mouse hovers the main picture, it read the mouse pixel data (array of r,g,b,alpha) from the image drawn onto the canvas. When it sees the pixel color is black (in my case I only check the RED value, which in a black pixel would be 0) it knows the activate the relevant button.
(Originally, I got the idea from this article)
The reason I chose this method, is for the page to be responsive and dynamically change to fit different monitors and mobile devices. To achieve this, I call the DrawCanvas function every time the screen is re-sized, to redraw the canvas with the new dimensions.
Generally, this works OK. The thing is ,there seems to be an inconsistent behavior in Chrome and IE(9). When I initially open the page, I sometimes get no pixel data (0,0,0,0), until i re-size the browser. At first I figured there's some loading issues that are making this happen so I tried to hack it with setTimeout, it still doesn't work. I also tried to trigger the re-size event and call the drawCanvas function at document.ready, still didn't work.
What's bothering me is most, are the inconsistencies. Sometimes it works, sometimes is doesn't. Generally, it is more stable in chrome than in IE(9).
Here is the deprecated code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){setTimeout(function() {
// Get main image object
var mapWrapper = document.getElementById('map_wrapper').getElementsByTagName('img').item(0);
// Create a hidden canvas the same size as the main image and append it to main div
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.height = mapWrapper.clientHeight;
canvas.width = mapWrapper.clientWidth;
canvas.fillStyle = 'rgb(255,255,255)';
canvas.style.display = 'none';
canvas.id = 'hiddencvs';
$('#map_wrapper').append(canvas);
// Draw the buttons image into the canvas
drawCanvas(null);
$("#map_wrapper").mousemove(function(e){
var canvas = document.getElementById('hiddencvs');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var pos = findPos(this);
var x = e.pageX - pos.x;
var y = e.pageY - pos.y;
// Get pixel information array (red, green, blue, alpha)
var pixel = context.getImageData(x,y,1,1).data;
var red = pixel[0];
var main_img = document.getElementById('map_wrapper').getElementsByTagName('img').item(0);
if (red == 0)
{
...
}
else {
...
}
});
},3000);}); // End DOM Ready
function drawCanvas(e)
{
// Get context of hidden convas and set size according to main image
var cvs = document.getElementById('hiddencvs');
var ctx = cvs.getContext('2d');
var mapWrapper = document.getElementById('map_wrapper').getElementsByTagName('img').item(0);
cvs.width = mapWrapper.clientWidth;
cvs.height = mapWrapper.clientHeight;
// Create img element for buttons image
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.src = "img/main-page-buttons.png";
// Draw buttons image inside hidden canvas, strech it to canvas size
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0,cvs.width,cvs.height);
}
$(window).resize(function(e){
drawCanvas(e);
}
);
function findPos(obj)
{
...
}
</script>
I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks!
Ron.
You don't wait for the image to be loaded so, depending on the cache, you may draw an image or not in the canvas.
You should do this :
$(function(){
var img = document.createElement("img");
img.onload = function() {
var mapWrapper = document.getElementById('map_wrapper').getElementsByTagName('img').item(0);
...
// your whole code here !
...
}
img.src = "img/main-page-buttons.png";
});

Easel.js: Browser compatibility when placing an image within a container and adding mouse interactions

I'm going to start this question off by saying that this is 100% working in Firefox (v21.0). For some reason it's not working in Google Chrome (v27.0.1453.94m). It also doesn't work in IE10.
Here is the JavaScript code I'm having issues with:
function canvasDrawBackground(value){
console.log(value);
stage.removeChild(background);
var temp = new createjs.Bitmap("images/bg_" + value +".jpg");
background = new createjs.Container();
background.x = background.y = 0;
background.addChild(temp);
stage.addChild(background);
background.addEventListener("mousedown", function(evt) {
var offset = {x:evt.target.x-evt.stageX, y:evt.target.y-evt.stageY};
evt.addEventListener("mousemove",function(ev) {
ev.target.x = ev.stageX+offset.x;
ev.target.y = ev.stageY+offset.y;
stage.update();
});
});
stage.update();
}
So, in Firefox the above code works, as in the image is added to the canvas and you can drag it around.
In Chrome / IE10 nothing happens - or more simply nothing appears on the canvas. I think the issue is in regards to when I add the image into the container, as I can place other items into the container and it works.
I am using http://code.createjs.com/easeljs-0.6.1.min.js and this code is based off of the "drag" tutorial. Here's the code from the tutorial:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>EaselJS demo: Dragging</title>
<link href="../../shared/demo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="http://code.createjs.com/easeljs-0.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
var stage, output;
function init() {
stage = new createjs.Stage("demoCanvas");
// this lets our drag continue to track the mouse even when it leaves the canvas:
// play with commenting this out to see the difference.
stage.mouseMoveOutside = true;
var circle = new createjs.Shape();
circle.graphics.beginFill("red").drawCircle(0, 0, 50);
var label = new createjs.Text("drag me", "bold 14px Arial", "#FFFFFF");
label.textAlign = "center";
label.y = -7;
var dragger = new createjs.Container();
dragger.x = dragger.y = 100;
dragger.addChild(circle, label);
stage.addChild(dragger);
dragger.addEventListener("mousedown", function(evt) {
var offset = {x:evt.target.x-evt.stageX, y:evt.target.y-evt.stageY};
// add a handler to the event object's onMouseMove callback
// this will be active until the user releases the mouse button:
evt.addEventListener("mousemove",function(ev) {
ev.target.x = ev.stageX+offset.x;
ev.target.y = ev.stageY+offset.y;
stage.update();
});
});
stage.update();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="init();">
<canvas id="demoCanvas" width="500" height="200">
alternate content
</canvas>
</body>
</html>
To simulate my issue, change "var circle = new createjs.Shape();" into a bitmap / image, createjs.Bitmap("images/bg_" + value +".jpg");. It then doesn't render.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Hopefully I'm just doing it wrong. :P
This is probably because the image is not loaded. If you only update the stage after creating it, the image may not display. I would recommend adding a callback to the image to update the stage after its loaded.
// Simple approach. May not work depending on the scope of the stage.
var temp = new createjs.Bitmap("images/bg_" + value +".jpg");
temp.image.onload = function() { stage.update(); }
It also may make sense to preload the images you intend to use.

converting Div to Canvas options [duplicate]

It would be incredibly useful to be able to temporarily convert a regular element into a canvas. For example, say I have a styled div that I want to flip. I want to dynamically create a canvas, "render" the HTMLElement into the canvas, hide the original element and animate the canvas.
Can it be done?
There is a library that try to do what you say.
See this examples and get the code
http://hertzen.com/experiments/jsfeedback/
http://html2canvas.hertzen.com/
Reads the DOM, from the html and render it to a canvas, fail on some, but in general works.
Take a look at this tutorial on MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Canvas/Drawing_DOM_objects_into_a_canvas (archived)
Its key trick was:
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var data = '<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="200" height="200">' +
'<foreignObject width="100%" height="100%">' +
'<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style="font-size:40px">' +
'<em>I</em> like ' +
'<span style="color:white; text-shadow:0 0 2px blue;">' +
'cheese</span>' +
'</div>' +
'</foreignObject>' +
'</svg>';
var DOMURL = window.URL || window.webkitURL || window;
var img = new Image();
var svg = new Blob([data], {type: 'image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8'});
var url = DOMURL.createObjectURL(svg);
img.onload = function () {
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
DOMURL.revokeObjectURL(url);
}
img.src = url;
That is, it used a temporary SVG image to include the HTML content as a "foreign element", then renders said SVG image into a canvas element. There are significant restrictions on what you can include in an SVG image in this way, however. (See the "Security" section for details — basically it's a lot more limited than an iframe or AJAX due to privacy and cross-domain concerns.)
Sorry, the browser won't render HTML into a canvas.
It would be a potential security risk if you could, as HTML can include content (in particular images and iframes) from third-party sites. If canvas could turn HTML content into an image and then you read the image data, you could potentially extract privileged content from other sites.
To get a canvas from HTML, you'd have to basically write your own HTML renderer from scratch using drawImage and fillText, which is a potentially huge task. There's one such attempt here but it's a bit dodgy and a long way from complete. (It even attempts to parse the HTML/CSS from scratch, which I think is crazy! It'd be easier to start from a real DOM node with styles applied, and read the styling using getComputedStyle and relative positions of parts of it using offsetTop et al.)
You can use dom-to-image library (I'm the maintainer).
Here's how you could approach your problem:
var parent = document.getElementById('my-node-parent');
var node = document.getElementById('my-node');
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = node.scrollWidth;
canvas.height = node.scrollHeight;
domtoimage.toPng(node).then(function (pngDataUrl) {
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function () {
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.translate(canvas.width, 0);
context.scale(-1, 1);
context.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
parent.removeChild(node);
parent.appendChild(canvas);
};
img.src = pngDataUrl;
});
And here is jsfiddle
Building on top of the Mozdev post that natevw references I've started a small project to render HTML to canvas in Firefox, Chrome & Safari. So for example you can simply do:
rasterizeHTML.drawHTML('<span class="color: green">This is HTML</span>'
+ '<img src="local_img.png"/>', canvas);
Source code and a more extensive example is here.
No such thing, sorry.
Though the spec states:
A future version of the 2D context API may provide a way to render fragments of documents, rendered using CSS, straight to the canvas.
Which may be as close as you'll get.
A lot of people want a ctx.drawArbitraryHTML/Element kind of deal but there's nothing built in like that.
The only exception is Mozilla's exclusive drawWindow, which draws a snapshot of the contents of a DOM window into the canvas. This feature is only available for code running with Chrome ("local only") privileges. It is not allowed in normal HTML pages. So you can use it for writing FireFox extensions like this one does but that's it.
You could spare yourself the transformations, you could use CSS3 Transitions to flip <div>'s and <ol>'s and any HTML tag you want. Here are some demos with source code explain to see and learn: http://www.webdesignerwall.com/trends/47-amazing-css3-animation-demos/
the next code can be used in 2 modes, mode 1 save the html code to a image, mode 2 save the html code to a canvas.
this code work with the library: https://github.com/tsayen/dom-to-image
*the "id_div" is the id of the element html that you want to transform.
**the "canvas_out" is the id of the div that will contain the canvas
so try this code.
:
function Guardardiv(id_div){
var mode = 2 // default 1 (save to image), mode 2 = save to canvas
console.log("Process start");
var node = document.getElementById(id_div);
// get the div that will contain the canvas
var canvas_out = document.getElementById('canvas_out');
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = node.scrollWidth;
canvas.height = node.scrollHeight;
domtoimage.toPng(node).then(function (pngDataUrl) {
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function () {
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
};
if (mode == 1){ // save to image
downloadURI(pngDataUrl, "salida.png");
}else if (mode == 2){ // save to canvas
img.src = pngDataUrl;
canvas_out.appendChild(img);
}
console.log("Process finish");
});
}
so, if you want to save to image just add this function:
function downloadURI(uri, name) {
var link = document.createElement("a");
link.download = name;
link.href = uri;
document.body.appendChild(link);
link.click();
}
Example of use:
<html>
<head>
</script src="/dom-to-image.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
All content that want to transform
</div>
<button onclick="Guardardiv('container');">Convert<button>
<!-- if use mode 2 -->
<div id="canvas_out"></div>
</html>
Comment if that work.
Comenten si les sirvio :)
The easiest solution to animate the DOM elements is using CSS transitions/animations but I think you already know that and you try to use canvas to do stuff CSS doesn't let you to do. What about CSS custom filters? you can transform your elements in any imaginable way if you know how to write shaders. Some other link and don't forget to check the CSS filter lab.
Note: As you can probably imagine browser support is bad.
function convert() {
dom = document.getElementById('divname');
var script,
$this = this,
options = this.options,
runH2c = function(){
try {
var canvas = window.html2canvas([ document.getElementById('divname') ], {
onrendered: function( canvas ) {
window.open(canvas.toDataURL());
}
});
} catch( e ) {
$this.h2cDone = true;
log("Error in html2canvas: " + e.message);
}
};
if ( window.html2canvas === undefined && script === undefined ) {
} else {.
// html2canvas already loaded, just run it then
runH2c();
}
}
