HTML5 Canvas Rotate Image
jQuery('#carregar').click(function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var image = document.getElementById('image');
var element = canvas.getContext("2d");
element.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
element.drawImage(image, 0, 0, 300, 300);
});
I have a problem to rotate an image 90 ° to the right or to the left.
I use an image on the canvas, the same screen will have several canvas equal to that of the example, but I left it as close as possible to the project.
I ask, how do I rotate the image 90 ° to the left or right when I click "Rotate Left" and "Rotate Right"?
I tried several codes on the internet but none worked.
Answer
You can use canvas’ context.translate & context.rotate to do rotate your image
Here’s a function to draw an image that is rotated by the specified degrees:
function drawRotated(degrees){
context.clearRect(0,0,canvas.width,canvas.height);
// save the unrotated context of the canvas so we can restore it later
// the alternative is to untranslate & unrotate after drawing
context.save();
// move to the center of the canvas
context.translate(canvas.width/2,canvas.height/2);
// rotate the canvas to the specified degrees
context.rotate(degrees*Math.PI/180);
// draw the image
// since the context is rotated, the image will be rotated also
context.drawImage(image,-image.width/2,-image.width/2);
// we’re done with the rotating so restore the unrotated context
context.restore();
}
