drawImage and resize to Canvas
I have an image which is 1836 x 3264 I want to drawImage() to canvas and resize to 739 x 1162.
After reading the documentation I thought this could be accomplished with the following:
ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, 739, 1162);
I have also tried:
ctx.drawImage(image, 0, 0, 1836, 3264, 0, 0, 739, 1162);
Both show only a small part of the full image instead of shrinking it down.
How do I pass through the values to resize from 1836 x 3264 -> 739 x 1162 ?
Answer
What you have looks correct, so you might double-check for a typo somewhere.
[additional thought: Is your image really 1836x3264 and not 3264x1836.]
Here is working code and a Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/MLGr4/

$(function(){
var canvas=document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx=canvas.getContext("2d");
img=new Image();
img.onload=function(){
canvas.width=400;
canvas.height=300;
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0,img.width,img.height,0,0,400,300);
}
