Microsoft Edge Image Scaling - css

How do i make an image scale with bicubic for MS Edge? Is there some CSS or similar that can change the behavour.
See this page: http://duttongarage.com/Race-Workshop~317
On the right there are two images that have textured background, you can see the weird artifacts quite clearly
Chrome on the Left, MS Edge on the Right. As you can see there is some weird moire effect from the resize being nearest neighbor or linear, not bicubic.
Another example that is more typical:
Microsoft Edge on Top, Chrome on the Bottom. Notice the pixelation, its like what i would expect from browsers from the last decade.

Sorry for stupidness of answer, but, as I can see, Edge doesn't support any image-rendering options, so, please, try to use jQuery to resize picture.
For example, you can use solution from this answer:
just create <canvas id="canvas"></canvas> under your image and see:
screenshot
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
img = new Image();
img.onload = function () {
canvas.height = canvas.width * (img.height / img.width);
/// step 1
var oc = document.createElement('canvas'),
octx = oc.getContext('2d');
oc.width = img.width * 0.5;
oc.height = img.height * 0.5;
octx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, oc.width, oc.height);
/// step 2
octx.drawImage(oc, 0, 0, oc.width * 0.5, oc.height * 0.5);
ctx.drawImage(oc, 0, 0, oc.width * 0.5, oc.height * 0.5,
0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
}
img.src = "http://duttongarage.com/img/2167/824";
You can easily adjust oc.width with math. For example, you can use
oc.width = $(".me-wrap-image").width();
oc.height = $(".me-wrap-image").height();
Better, if you adjust your structure by
| .me-wrap-image
| .some-class-to-get-width-and-height
-> img
for img.src you can use
$("div.some-class-to-get img").each(function(){
img.src = $(this).attr('src');
});
But I'm not sure, how to make it work properly.
Hope you fix it :)

Obsolete
This is obsolete solution and does not work on recent versions of MS Edge.
===========
This little css tweak fixed problem for me:
img {
-ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic;
}

How do I get video transparency for web?

I want to create a video that has transparency, but I can't have it be a Quicktime movie since it is being deployed on the web. I need something that is cross-browser compatible also.
I tried to create a video with a black background and use a blend mode in CSS to knock out the background, creating the illusion of transparency. That worked, but it also affected the art in the video that lay on top of the black background. I need a solution that will work to create transparency (alpha) on the background but not affect the rest of the content, such as seen with a QuickTime video with alpha channel.
you can use html5 transparent video, mp4 as example, double the height, with a canvas and alpha channel.
take a look at this code:
(function () {
var outputCanvas = document.getElementById('output'),
output = outputCanvas.getContext('2d'),
bufferCanvas = document.getElementById('buffer'),
buffer = bufferCanvas.getContext('2d'),
video = document.getElementById('video'),
width = outputCanvas.width,
height = outputCanvas.height,
interval;
function processFrame() {
buffer.drawImage(video, 0, 0);
// this can be done without alphaData, except in Firefox which doesn't like it when image is bigger than the canvas
var image = buffer.getImageData(0, 0, width, height),
imageData = image.data,
alphaData = buffer.getImageData(0, height, width, height).data;
for (var i = 3, len = imageData.length; i < len; i = i + 4) {
imageData[i] = alphaData[i - 1];
}
output.putImageData(image, 0, 0, 0, 0, width, height);
}
video.addEventListener('play', function () {
clearInterval(interval);
interval = setInterval(processFrame, 40)
}, false);
// Firefox doesn't support looping video, so we emulate it this way
video.addEventListener('ended', function () {
video.play();
}, false);
})();
and i used this on a webpage once:
<div class="IntroVideo" id="canvas_output">
<video id="video" style="display:none;" autoplay crossorigin="anonymous">
<source src="https://jakearchibald.com/scratch/alphavid/compressed.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
</video>
<canvas width="920" height="1300" id="buffer" style="display: none;"></canvas>
<canvas width="920" height="650" id="output" style="display: inline-block;"></canvas>
</div>
i found a transparent video example for you to try,
there is some instruction somewhere but i can't seem to find them anymore,
it's on jakearchibald.com perhaps the instruction is there too.
I'm afraid it is not possible. I'm also searching, searching and searching.. But looking at your image: can't you create a CSS animation instead of video?

CSS Saturate Filter on Canvas

I have a canvas which is currently drawing a grey scale diagram (JSBin example).
It's effectively a radial progress meter, that will be used a lot in the application. However, rather than colouring it with Javascript, I'd prefer to be able to give it a colour based on a class.
I thought it would be an ideal use case for CSS filters. I'd draw the default progress meter in gray, then use CSS filters to add saturation and do a hue rotation, in order to achieve blue, orange and green too.
canvas {
-webkit-filter: saturate(8);
}
The rule was supported and valid in Chrome, but the problem was, it doesn't seem to change the saturation at all.
I'm imagining that #aaa is transformed into it's HSL counterpart hsl(0, 0%, 67%). Then when I increase the saturation with a filter, it should become more saturated, but for the same hue.
I was hoping to end up with something like hsl(0, 50%, 67%) but instead, the filter doesn't seem to change the colour at all, no matter what value I use.
Any ideas?
It turns out if you draw the meter with some saturation initially, you can use the hue-rotate filter and then you can desaturate them to achieve grey scale again.

Conceptually, this isn't an answer. But in the meantime, it's a solution.
What about picking the color from the CSS style ?
canvas {
color: red;
}
function init() {
let canvas = document.getElementById('test'),
context = canvas.getContext('2d');
let style = window.getComputedStyle (canvas);
let color = style.color;
canvas.width = 300;
canvas.height = 300;
let x = canvas.width / 2,
y = canvas.height / 2;
context.beginPath( );
context.arc(x, y, 100, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
context.strokeStyle = color;
context.lineWidth = 20;
context.stroke();
context.globalAlpha = 0.85;
context.beginPath();
context.arc(x, y, 100, 0, Math.PI + 0.3, false);
context.strokeStyle = '#eee';
context.stroke();
}

Scaling a canvas nicely with css

I'm trying to draw an image on a canvas, then use css to fit the canvas within a certain size. It turns out that many browsers don't scale the canvas down very nicely. Firefox on OS X seems to be one of the worst, but I haven't tested very many. Here is a minimal example of the problem:
HTML
<img>
<canvas></canvas>
CSS
img, canvas {
width: 125px;
}
JS
var image = document.getElementsByTagName('img')[0],
canvas = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0];
image.onload = function() {
canvas.width = image.width;
canvas.height = image.height;
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.drawImage(image, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
}
image.src = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Helvetica_Neue_typeface_weights.svg/783px-Helvetica_Neue_typeface_weights.svg.png"
Running in a codepen: http://codepen.io/ford/pen/GgMzJd
Here's the result in Firefox (screenshot from a retina display):
What's happening is that both the <img> and <canvas> start at the same size and are scaled down by the browser with css (the image width is 783px). Apparently, the browser does some nice smoothing/interpolation on the <img>, but not on the <canvas>.
I've tried:
image-rendering, but the defaults seem to already be what I want.
Hacky solutions like scaling the image down in steps, but this didn't help: http://codepen.io/ford/pen/emGxrd.
Context2D.imageSmoothingEnabled, but once again, the defaults describe what I want.
How can I make the image on the right look like the image on the left? Preferably in as little code as possible (I'd rather not implement bicubic interpolation myself, for example).
You can fix the pixelation issue by scaling the canvas's backing store by the window.devicePixelRatio value. Unfortunately, the shoddy image filtering seems to be a browser limitation at this time, and the only reliable fix is to roll your own.
Replace your current onload with:
image.onload = function() {
var dpr = window.devicePixelRatio;
canvas.width = image.width * dpr;
canvas.height = image.height * dpr;
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.drawImage(image, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
}
Results:
Tested on Firefox 35.0.1 on Windows 8.1. Note that your current code doesn't handle browser zoom events, which could reintroduce pixelation. You can fix this by handling the resize event.
Canvas is not quite meant to be css zoomed : Try over-sampling : use twice the required canvas size, and css scaling will do a fine job in down-scaling the canvas.
On hi-dpi devices you should double yet another time the resolution to reach the
same quality.
(even on a standard display, X4 shines a bit more).
(Image, canvas 1X, 2X and 4X)
var $ = document.getElementById.bind(document);
var image = $('fntimg');
image.onload = function() {
drawAllImages();
}
image.src = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Helvetica_Neue_typeface_weights.svg/783px-Helvetica_Neue_typeface_weights.svg.png"
function drawAllImages() {
drawImage(1);
drawImage(2);
drawImage(4);
}
function drawImage(x) {
console.log('cv' + x + 'X');
var canvas = $('cv' + x + 'X');
canvas.width = x * image.width;
canvas.height = x * image.height;
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.drawImage(image, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
}
img,
canvas {
width: 125px;
}
<br>
<img id='fntimg'>
<canvas id='cv1X'></canvas>
<canvas id='cv2X'></canvas>
<canvas id='cv4X'></canvas>
<br>
It's not good idea to scale canvas and think that you solved the image scale problem.you can pass your dynamic value to canvas,and then draw with that size whatever you want.
here is link of canvas doc: http://www.w3docs.com/learn-javascript/canvas.html
Simple answer, you can't do it. The canvas is just like a bitmap, nothing more.
My idea:
You should redraw the whole surface on zooming, and make sure you scale the image you're drawing to the canvas. As it is a vector graphic, this should work. But you're going to have to redraw the canvas for sure.

CSS Skew only container, not content

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the following layout work. I'm not restricted to pure CSS - I know JS will be involved to make it cross-browser - but a CSS solution would be awesome. Here's what I am trying to achieve:
I've tried the following code, skewing the container and then skewing the image in the opposite direction, but it just gives me a square image. Chrome inspector shows me that the container is being skewed properly, but skewing the image back makes it square again. Adding an overflow:hidden to the container kind of works but the edges of the angle become jagged. Here's what I have tried:
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ubrFz
Please help! :)
Need to tweak the positioning and the size of the container so you can crop it, and apply the backface-visibility rule:
.skew {
-webkit-backface-visibility : hidden; /* the magic ingredient */
-webkit-transform : skew(16deg, 0);
overflow : hidden;
width : 300px;
height : 260px;
position : relative;
left : 50px;
border : 1px solid #666
}
.skew img {
-webkit-transform : skew(-16deg, 0);
position : relative;
left : -40px;
}
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/HLtlG <- before (aliased)
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/wnlpt <- after (anti-aliased)
In lieu of a CSS solution, you could also achieve the effect by using a canvas and some JS; and compositing a series of cropped images onto that canvas. The benefit of the canvas method being that you'll potentially get smoother edges on the crops, and it is potentially a bit better supported.
A canvas element in HTML;
<canvas id="mycanvas"></canvas>
And JS;
var img1 = new Image();
var img2 = new Image();
var img3 = new Image();
img1.src = '../my/image1.jpg';
img2.src = '../my/image2.jpg';
img3.src = '../my/image3.jpg';
var can = document.getElementById("mycanvas");
var ctx = can.getContext('2d');
var imgs = [img1, img2, img3]; //array of JS image objects that you've set up earlier
can.width = 1000;
can.height = 100;
for (var i=0; i < imgs.length; i++) {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(0, 0);
ctx.lineTo(800 - (200 * i), 0);
ctx.lineTo(900 - (200 * i), 100);
ctx.lineTo(0, 100);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.clip();
ctx.drawImage(imgs[i], 0, 0);
}
The code is just off the top of my head - I haven't tested it. But basically - lets say you have a canvas that is a maximum of 1000px wide and 100px high. What happens above is, you set up a clipping area with a diagonal line across the canvas from point (800,0) to (900,100) and then draw the image into that clipping area... Then set up a new clipping path 200 pixels shorter for each image (note the '200 * i' bit).
Obviously the math needs to be adjusted for an arbitrary number of images and so on... But the idea is there.
A bit trickier than pure CSS maybe - but as I said - possibly a bit better supported cross-browser (IE's notwithstanding...).
EDIT
Did a quick test - looks like you need to set the canvas dimensions - and also obviously wait for all images to load properly before you can composite them on the canvas.

HTML5 Canvas with Predefined Image

Recently I started working on HTML5 Canvas, I'm new to it.
I've a problem as follows:
I'm loading a Canvas with Body Chart Image (Predefined Image) and on that User will Draw some lines, shapes, etc.
After that I'll generate an image object as follows
var canvas = document.getElementById("MyCanvas");
var dataURL = canvas.toDataURL();
var image = new Image();
image.src = dataURL;
But, Here it generates only those elements which are drawn by users (lines, shapes) as PNG Image. It won't take that Predefined canvas background Image.
I need to generate a PNG image which should include both the Canvas background Image as well as User entered drawing elements.
How to do this?
Try to actually draw you image onto your canvas, utilizing these functions:
var canvas = document.getElementById("MyCanvas");
var img = new Image();
img.src = 'pathToYourImageHere';
canvas.drawImage(img,0,0); /* 0,0 is x and y from the top left */
When you now try to save it, it should also save your background image.
EDIT:
In response to your comment:
You can circument your layering problem by using two different canvases. One for the image, and one for your drawing. Then layer them on top of each other using absolute positioning.
You can read more here: Save many canvas element as image
EDIT2:
But actually you shouldn't have a layering problem, since the following code will first draw the image and then draw the arc, and the layering will be fine:
var canvas = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.src = "somePathToAnImage";
context.drawImage(imageObj, 50, 50);
var x = canvas.width / 2;
var y = canvas.height / 2;
var radius = 75;
var startAngle = 1.1 * Math.PI;
var endAngle = 1.9 * Math.PI;
var counterClockwise = false;
context.beginPath();
context.arc(x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle, counterClockwise);
context.lineWidth = 15;
// line color
context.strokeStyle = "red";
context.stroke();
Even though the layering is fine, you will be better of by using two canvases, in case you would like to only save the drawing, without the background. You can always save both into a new canvas and save that, when you only use one canvas you'll have a hard time separating the drawing from the background.
This is because the image needs time to load, you have to use the onload function.
imgObj.onload = function() { context.drawImage(imageObj, 50, 50); imgLoaded = true;}
if (imgLoaded) { /*you draw shapes here */ }
