Draw a line from one element to multiple elements on click

I'm trying to draw a line from an element [.identifier] to the clicked element [ A, B, C series ]. I'm able to display the line but in the other direction, not sure why it is displaying in such a direction. Here is my fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/SampathPerOxide/u2afymxs/11/ Can someone help me to display a line between ".identifier" and the respective series element?

Expected result on clicking A series: enter image description here on clicking B series: enter image description here

$('.seriesli').click(function() {

  function adjustLine(from, to, line) {

    var fT = from.offsetTop + from.offsetHeight / 2;
    var tT = to.offsetTop + to.offsetHeight / 2;
    var fL = from.offsetLeft + from.offsetWidth / 2;
    var tL = to.offsetLeft + to.offsetWidth / 2;

    var CA = Math.abs(tT - fT);
    var CO = Math.abs(tL - fL);
    var H = Math.sqrt(CA * CA + CO * CO);
    var ANG = 180 / Math.PI * Math.acos(CA / H);

    if (tT > fT) {
      var top = (tT - fT) / 2 + fT;
    } else {
      var top = (fT - tT) / 2 + tT;
    }
    if (tL > fL) {
      var left = (tL - fL) / 2 + fL;
    } else {
      var left = (fL - tL) / 2 + tL;
    }

    if ((fT < tT && fL < tL) || (tT < fT && tL < fL) || (fT > tT && fL > tL) || (tT > fT && tL > fL)) {
      ANG *= -1;
    }
    top -= H / 2;

How do you draw a line on a canvas in JavaScript?

How to draw a line from the starting point?

Otherwise, it draws the line from the starting point to the left. If the y is positive, the lineTo (x,y) method draws the line from the starting point down the y-axis. Otherwise, it draws the line from the starting point up to the y-axis. The following shows the index.html file that contains a canvas element:

How to draw a line from one point to another in Python?

I fixed your fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/c4ju6a0p/

Code changes:

// Get actual position relative to viewport.
// See https://stackoverflow.com/a/11396681/117030
fromBCR = from.getBoundingClientRect();
toBCR   = to.getBoundingClientRect();

var fT = fromBCR.top + from.offsetHeight / 2;
var tT = toBCR.top + to.offsetHeight / 2;

// Don't add offsetWidth. This connects to the middle, not the left edge.
var fL = fromBCR.left //+ from.offsetWidth / 2;
var tL = toBCR.left + to.offsetWidth / 2;

  • The problem was the line was being calculated with the incorrect position due to relative positioning. This can be seen more clearly when the relative CSS is commented out: https://jsfiddle.net/vust5nxf/
  • Also, don't add the offsetWidth if you want the line to go to the left edge.

update: didn't notice the code snippet... applied changes there, too. I also made one more change:

  • You need to pass the element that was clicked to adjustLine(), otherwise currently the line is drawn between the same two elements every time because the elements are hardcoded with ids.
  • As a style note: I would move the definition of function adjustLine() outside the click handler. This will make the code easier to read, and the function will only be created once, instead of every time a click is handled.
adjustLine(
  this, // Element that was clicked.
  document.getElementById('div2'),
  document.getElementById('line')
);

$('.seriesli').click(function() {

  function adjustLine(from, to, line) {

    // Get actual position relative to viewport.
    // See https://stackoverflow.com/a/11396681/117030
    fromBCR = from.getBoundingClientRect();
    toBCR   = to.getBoundingClientRect();
    
    var fT = fromBCR.top + from.offsetHeight / 2;
    var tT = toBCR.top + to.offsetHeight / 2;
    
    // Don't add offsetWidth. This connects to the middle, not the left edge.
    var fL = fromBCR.left //+ from.offsetWidth / 2;
    var tL = toBCR.left + to.offsetWidth / 2;

    var CA = Math.abs(tT - fT);
    var CO = Math.abs(tL - fL);
    var H = Math.sqrt(CA * CA + CO * CO);
    var ANG = 180 / Math.PI * Math.acos(CA / H);

    if (tT > fT) {
      var top = (tT - fT) / 2 + fT;
    } else {
      var top = (fT - tT) / 2 + tT;
    }
    if (tL > fL) {
      var left = (tL - fL) / 2 + fL;
    } else {
      var left = (fL - tL) / 2 + tL;
    }

    if ((fT < tT && fL < tL) || (tT < fT && tL < fL) || (fT > tT && fL > tL) || (tT > fT && tL > fL)) {
      ANG *= -1;
    }
    top -= H / 2;
