KineticJS - Any way to repeat images? - javascript

I've switched over to kineticJS and I'm trying to have a background image repeat itself. Here is the code I am using:
var background_image = new Image();
background_image.onload = function() {
var image = new Kinetic.Image({
image: background_image,
width: this.width,
height: this.height
});
mainLayer.add(image);
stage.add(mainLayer); // now mainLayer is available
};
Now what I'd like to do is essentially what this tutorial does:
http://www.html5canvastutorials.com/tutorials/html5-canvas-patterns-tutorial/ :
That tutorial makes use of the canvas/context objects to repeat the image. I couldn't find an image repeat in the docs, so I was wondering if maybe I could access the main context element of my stage (or layer?) and then use that similar to the tutorial.

Try using a Rect with an image fill. Image fills are repeated by default. Here's an example:
http://www.html5canvastutorials.com/kineticjs/html5-canvas-set-fill-with-kineticjs/
You can also change the pattern repeat type, use offsets, and scale the pattern image

Clip by mask defined by pixel image or prevent drawing outside of that mask

I'm two days into js,html and css programming. So very newbie!
Following and building upon this TUTORIAL
Q1: How can I add this male into the background (see figuere 1.) and prohibit any strokes outside of the borders?
Adding image to background was no biggy!
function make_base()
{
base_image = new Image();
base_image.src = 'img/bmapFront.gif';
base_image.onload = function(){
context.drawImage(base_image, 0,0);
}
}
There is a context.clip function, not sure if I can use pixel form as clipping path. Making tons of "image substractions" isn't the best way.
Any suggestions
Edit:
Did the Job for me: VeryHelpful
var frontPath = new Path2D ("M 133.41,17.00 C 141.37,2.41 160.66, !VERY LONG! ")
context.clip(frontPath);
Messy strokes!
He should look like this. Then I want to save him.
Although there is such a thing as ctx.clip(), this is sometimes not what's wanted as it's impractical to use a path.
The solution that I like involves creating a virtual empty canvas onto which you draw your pixel image. Through various manipulations, like using ctx.getImageData and similar to make sure you only get one kind of color or apply other filters only once, you can obtain an image that seems to be empty (alpha of 0, mostly) in the places where you want to clip other images or paths out.
At that point, you'd use ctx.globalCompositeOperation = 'source-atop', or pick another one you might want to use from mdn's list of globalCompositeOperations.
At this point, you can just draw this virtual canvas image onto the main canvas

Using Fabric.js, when an image is scaled, how do you replace it with another image?

I'm building a new version of my online t-shirt designer using FabricJS to replace an existing Flash one that I created several years ago.
I've run into a problem that I need help with. All images that I work with are raster images. When I scale an image or make changes to it such as recoloring it, I make a call to the server to create the new image and then I need to be able to replace the existing image on the canvas.
The only way I've been able to figure out how to do it is by using the canvas method getActiveObject(). This works fine, but if you have multiple objects selected, you don't know which one to update.
When the image is originally added to the canvas, I'm attaching an onModified event handler to it. Only when the scale of the image changes, do I call the server side script to generate the new image. The code I'm currently using is listed below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
fabric.Image.fromURL(previewPath, function (img) {
var sprite = img.set({ left: leftX, top: topY, angle: angle, borderColor: 'black', cornerColor: 'red', cornerSize: 6, transparentCorners: false });
$scope.canvas.add(sprite);
$scope.canvas.renderAll();
sprite.on('modified', function () {
// Modified event is only executed for scaling
if (1 != sprite.scaleX.toString() || 1 != sprite.scaleY.toString()) {
fabric.Image.fromURL(previewPath, function (img) {
var newSprite = img.set({ left: leftX, top: topY, angle: angle, width: width, height: height });
// Replaces visible object on canvas
// Since new image is replacing old one, need to set the scale back to 1
sprite.scale(1);
$scope.canvas.renderAll();
});
}
});
Not sure if I've read it correctly, but wouldn't you be able to add an extra property to the fabric object when it is created indicating what it is and then use that to figure out which object to remove?
e.g. in the above, you'd do sprite.objectName = "tshirtSleeves", then when you get new t-shirt sleeves, get the fabric object with objectName = "tshirtSleeves" and remove that.
You could loop through all of the objects on the canvas, check that it's an image, and then make your image changes there as needed.
This option of course has it's possible efficiency issues if you have a lot of non-image objects on the canvas. But it's an option.
You do need to do a renderAll after this of course.
var objects = document.getElementById('canvasId').fabric._objects;
jQuery.each( objects, function( key, eachObject ) {
if( eachObject.type == "image" ) {
//Perform scale and image replacement as needed here
}
});
$scope.canvas.renderAll();
Actually turned out to be pretty simple. Just pass the new image url to the setSrc method of the image object as below.
sprite.setSrc(previewPath, function (img) {
sprite.scale(1);
$scope.canvas.renderAll();
});

canvas is cleared on mousedown, sketch.js & jquery 2.0.0

11I'm using sketch.js from here: http://intridea.github.io/sketch.js/ and jquery 2.0.0
On my page, I have a list of images presented like so:
<img src="http://url.to/image"><br><span class="background">click for background</span>
and a canvas, set up like so:
<canvas id="simple_sketch" style="border: 2px solid black;"></canvas>
relevant JavaScript:
var winwidth = 800;
var winheight = 600;
$('#simple_sketch').attr('width', winwidth).attr('height', winheight);
$('#simple_sketch').sketch();
$('.background').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var imgurl = $(this).parent().attr('href');
console.log('imgurl: ' + imgurl);
var n = imgurl.split('/');
var size = n.length;
var file = '../webkort/' + n[size - 1];
var sigCanvas = document.getElementById('simple_sketch');
var context = sigCanvas.getContext('2d');
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.src = imgurl;
imageObj.onload = function() {
context.drawImage(this, 0, 0,sigCanvas.width,sigCanvas.height);
};
alert('background changed');
});
Backgrounds are changed just as I want them to, but whenever I click on the canvas, the backgound image is cleared. As per a suggestion on this thread: html5 canvas background image disappear on mousemove I commented out this.el.width = this.canvas.width(); on line 116 of sketch.js, but to no avail.
Any help appreciated!
EDIT: jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/RXFX4/1/
EDIT: Couldn't figure out how to do this with sketch.js, so instead went with jqScribble (link posted in comments) which has the ability to do this as a built-in function instead.
Find this line on the library - sketch.js and delete/comment it out.
this.el.width = this.canvas.width();
Good luck
Assign the url on the image source after the onload event. If the image is already loaded, the event is probably firing before you are hooking it. Which means that your drawImage is never being called.
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.onload = function() {
context.drawImage(this, 0, 0,sigCanvas.width,sigCanvas.height);
};
imageObj.src = imgurl;
EDIT: I'm going to take a shot in the dark here, since I'm not familiar with sketchjs
I'm thinking that your problem is that you are completely re-render the canvas when you click your 'change background' link. Notice that if you draw, then click the change background, you lose your drawing.
However, notice that once you click again, the background disappears, and you get your original drawing back again. This tells me that sketchjs is keeping track of what has been drawn on it's own in-memory canvas, and then it drops it onto the target. The problem, then, is that when this in-memory canvas is drawn, it completely replaces the contents of the target canvas with it's own.
I notice in some of the sketchjs examples, if you want a background they actually assign the canvas a background style. In your example, you are drawing the background directly onto the canvas. The prior probably works because sketchjs knows to incorporate the background style when it draws. However, it does not know that when you drew your fresh background image, it should be using that.
Can you just change the background style on the canvas element, instead of drawing directly on the canvas?

html image id and canvas

Hi there I have a simple question I can'[t seem to find the answer to on google. I'm trying to draw an image on a canvas. I originally used the "new" constructor ( ballPic = new Image(); ballPic.src = "ball.png" ) which worked when drawing on my canvas, but I needed to do some scaling and wasn't sure if I could attach a css id to the object. So I instead tried to use the image tag and did the rest in css.
However using a variable that way doenst seem to work with my canvas' drawing:
ballPic = '<img id="soccerBall">';
var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx=c.getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(BallPic, -25, -25);
Is this because assigning a variable like ballPic = is not the same as being the element itself like when using the constructor? How would I pass it other than attaching it to the document and using getElementbyID?
You can keep using the Image constructor and still scale the image. There's another method overload of the drawImage function:
From MDN:
The second variant of the drawImage() method adds two new parameters and lets us place scaled images on the canvas.
drawImage(image, x, y, width, height)
This adds the width and height parameters, which indicate the size to which to scale the image when drawing it onto the canvas.
I would recommend you check out that page, it has a lot of good information, like
Using data: urls
Handling image loading
Loading still frames from videos
Slicing
Examples gallore
Create an image, handle the onload event, in which you update the canvas size to the scaled size of the image, then drawImage with a scale.
var scale = 2 ;
var ballPic = new Image();
ballPic.onload = function drawImage() {
var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
c.width = ballPic.width * scale ;
c.height = ballPic.height * scale ;
var ctx=c.getContext("2d");
ctx.scale(scale, scale) ;
ctx.drawImage(ballPic, 0, 0);
};
ballPic.src =

Add image to canvas using paper JS

I used normal javascript to add image to canvas and this is the code
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
context = canvas.getContext('2d');
canvas_image();
function canvas_image(){
can_img = new Image();
can_img.src = 'Chrysanthemum.jpg';
can_img.onload = function(){
context.drawImage(can_img, 100, 100);
}
}
How can i add image to canvas using paperJS library?
Quoting from the paperjs.org tutorial on rasters:
Images need to already be loaded when they are added to a Paper.js project. Working with local images or images hosted on other websites may throw security exceptions on certain browsers.
So you need an image somewhere that is preferably visually hidden:
<img id="mona" class="visuallyhidden" src="mona.jpg" width="320" height="491">
And the PaperScript code could look like this:
// Create a raster item using the image tag with id="mona"
var raster = new Raster('mona');
Then you can reposition, scale or rotate like so:
// Move the raster to the center of the view
raster.position = view.center;
// Scale the raster by 50%
raster.scale(0.5);
// Rotate the raster by 45 degrees:
raster.rotate(45);
And here is a paperjs.org sketch to play with.
First, If you want to work with JavaScript directly look at this tutorial.
Once you understand it, you would have something like this to load image in raster
paper.install(window);
window.onload = function() {
// Setup directly from canvas id:
paper.setup('myCanvas');
var raster = new paper.Raster({source: 'Chrysanthemum.jpg', position: view.center});
}
