scale mouse coordinates on document relative to HTML5 canvas
I have a HTML5 canvas of a certain size on the page
<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="100" style="border:1px solid
#000000;">
Right now, the canvas is painted when the mouse is dragged over it (i.e.
you click first(not necessarily inside the canvas) then start dragging the
mouse over it without releasing) Script below;
$(function () {
var c = document.getElementById("canvas");
var context = c.getContext("2d");
var clickX = new Array();
var clickY = new Array();
var clickDrag = new Array();
var paint;
var $canvas=$("#canvas");
$(this).mousedown(function (e) {
paint = true;
addClick(e.pageX - $canvas[0].offsetLeft, e.pageY -
$canvas[0].offsetTop);
redraw();
});
$(this).mousemove(function (e) {
if (paint) {
addClick(e.pageX - $canvas[0].offsetLeft, e.pageY -
$canvas[0].offsetTop, true);
redraw();
}
});
$(this).mouseup(function (e) {
paint = false;
});
$(this).mouseleave(function (e) {
paint = false;
});
function addClick(x, y, dragging) {
clickX.push(x);
clickY.push(y);
clickDrag.push(dragging);
}
function redraw() {
context.clearRect(0, 0, context.canvas.width,
context.canvas.height); // Clears the canvas
context.strokeStyle = "#000000";
context.lineJoin = "round";
context.lineWidth = 2;
for (var i = 0; i < clickX.length; i++) {
context.beginPath();
if (clickDrag[i] && i) {
context.moveTo(clickX[i - 1], clickY[i - 1]);
} else {
context.moveTo(clickX[i] - 1, clickY[i]);
}
context.lineTo(clickX[i], clickY[i]);
context.closePath();
context.stroke();
}
}
});
What I need now is a way to scale all the mouse coordinates on document
during the document's mouse events to the relative coordinates inside the
canvas.
so that no matter wherever you drag the mouse on the document it is drawn
inside the canvas (in relatively small size of course). Any Idea how to
achieve this?
