What is a transformation matrix in HTML5 canvas?
HTML5 canvas provides methods that allow modifications directly to the transformation matrix. The transformation matrix must initially be the identity transform. It may then be adjusted using the transformation methods.
Example
Let us see an example of canvas transformation −
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html>    <head>       <script>          function drawShape(){             // get the canvas element using the DOM             var canvas = document.getElementById('mycanvas');             // make sure we don't execute when canvas isn't supported             if (canvas.getContext){                // use getContext to use the canvas for drawing                var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');                var sin = Math.sin(Math.PI/6);                var cos = Math.cos(Math.PI/6);                ctx.translate(200, 200);                var c = 0;                for (var i=0; i <= 12; i++) {                   c = Math.floor(255 / 12 * i);                   ctx.fillStyle = "rgb(" + c + "," + c + "," + c + ")";                   ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 100);                   ctx.transform(cos, sin, -sin, cos, 0, 0);                }                ctx.setTransform(-1, 0, 0, 1, 200, 200);                ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(100, 100, 255, 0.5)";                ctx.fillRect(50, 50, 100, 100);             }             else {                alert('You need Safari or Firefox 1.5+ to see this demo.');             }          }       </script>    </head>    <body onload = "drawShape();">       <canvas id = "mycanvas" width = "400" height = "400"></canvas>    </body> </html>Advertisements
