I am facing a problem for drawing a complex image using canvas tag and using JavaScript.
I need a tool, or we can say editor, by using which I can draw any image. It returns Javascript code using canvas, which I can include in html pages.
Thanks!
To draw arcs or circles, we use the arc() or arcTo() methods.
The rect() method creates a rectangle. Tip: Use the stroke() or the fill() method to actually draw the rectangle on the canvas.
I have a project where you can draw complex canvas shapes and export them into an HTML file. You can then edit the file as required
My project is at http://canvimation.github.com/
Hope this is of help
For really complex images, use Adobe Illustrator to do the designing (a world class design editor).
Then save your image in .SVG format.
BTW, You can load the file (example "yourArt.svg") directly into an img tag.
But, more to your question, you can then use a canvas drawing library called FabricJS to read the svg and draw it to a canvas. The library website is: http://fabricjs.com/
Alternatively, you can use an online conversion tool to convert yourArt.svg into the required canvas drawing commands. A popular svg-to-canvas converter is: http://www.professorcloud.com/svg-to-canvas/
A word of warning...these techniques might require tweaking of the resulting canvas draw commands--especially if your artwork uses the more advanced techniques in Illustrator.
Your artwork can be very complex and still be handled! Check out the SVG section of the FabricJS demos: http://fabricjs.com/kitchensink/
