Js Drawing A Line From The Edge Of A Circle To Another Circle Edge
I'm trying to draw a line from the edges of the two circles in HTML5 canvas. So, I know the coordinates of the centers of two circles and their radius. Circles drawn randomly. Lin
Solution 1:
Here's a solution that will achieve what you've asked for.
I've declared 3 'classes' to make things clearer to read. First, I define a generic shape class. Next, I define a basic circle class. Finally, I define a vec2 class. You could easily extend this as I have done, and add other shapes that inherit from the shape class - i.e square triangle, etc.
I create 10 circles at random positions and radii. I then draw a line between each circle and the one following it. I didn't bother with the 'wrap-around' case, so I draw 10 circles and 9 lines (I dont draw from circle 9 to circle 0)
I've used some of the code Tamura left, hence the familiar dimensions and id of the canvas.
<!doctype html><html><head><script>functionbyId(e){returndocument.getElementById(e)}
window.addEventListener('load', onDocLoaded, false);
var shapeList = [];
functiononDocLoaded()
{
var i, n=10;
var canvas = byId('myCanvas');
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
{
shapeList[i] = newcircle_t(Math.random()*578, Math.random()*400, Math.random()*30 + 20);
shapeList[i].draw(canvas);
}
for (i=0; i<n-1; i++)
draw_line2(shapeList[i].origX, shapeList[i].origY, shapeList[i].radius, shapeList[i+1].origX, shapeList[i+1].origY, shapeList[i+1].radius);
}
var shape_t = function(x,y)
{
this.origX = (x==undefined ? 0 : x);
this.origY = (y==undefined ? 0 : y);
}
shape_t.prototype =
{
origX:0, origY:0, typeString:'shape',
setPos: function(x,y){this.x=x;this.y=y;},
setType: function(typeString){this.typeString = typeString;},
toString: function(){returnthis.typeString + " - " + this.origX + "," + this.origY;},
draw: function(canElem){},
};
functioncircle_t(x,y,radius)
{
this.origX = (x==undefined ? 0 : x);
this.origY = (y==undefined ? 0 : y);
this.radius = (radius==undefined ? 10 : radius);
this.setType("circle");
}
circle_t.prototype = newshape_t();
circle_t.prototype.constructor = circle_t;
circle_t.prototype.draw = function(canElem, color)
{
var ctx = canElem.getContext('2d');
var col = 'black';
if (color != undefined)
col = color;
drawCircle(this.origX, this.origY, this.radius, ctx, col);
}
circle_t.prototype.setRadius = function(radius)
{
if (radius != undefined)
this.radius = radius;
}
functiondrawCircle(x, y, radius, ctx, col)
{
ctx.save();
if (col == undefined)
col = 'black';
ctx.strokeStyle = col;
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x,y,radius,(Math.PI/180)*0, (Math.PI/180)*360, false);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
ctx.restore();
}
// define a vec2 class to make vector maths easier (simpler to read)functionvec2(x,y)
{
this.length = function()
{
returnMath.sqrt((this.x * this.x) + (this.y*this.y));
}
this.normalize = function()
{
var scale = this.length();
this.x /= scale;
this.y /= scale;
}
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
functiondraw_line2(center1_x, center1_y, radius1, center2_x, center2_y, radius2)
{
var betweenVec = newvec2(center2_x - center1_x, center2_y - center1_y);
betweenVec.normalize();
var p1x = center1_x + (radius1 * betweenVec.x);
var p1y = center1_y + (radius1 * betweenVec.y);
var p2x = center2_x - (radius2 * betweenVec.x);
var p2y = center2_y - (radius2 * betweenVec.y);
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(p1x,p1y);
context.lineTo(p2x,p2y);
context.stroke();
}

Solution 2:
3 steps solutions : - build all your random circle coordinates (x,y,r). - draw all lines in between their center as you see fit. - draw all circles.
(!)
code is very easy :
http://jsbin.com/qutahatu/1/edit?js,output
var circles = [];
functioncreateCircles(cnt) {
circles = [];
for (var i=0; i<cnt; i++) {
var x = 5+ Math.random() *300;
var y = 5+ Math.random() *300;
var r = 20 + Math.random() *6;
circles.push({x:x,y:y,r:r});
}
}
functiondrawLines() {
var cnt= circles.length;
ctx.strokeStyle = '#000';
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(circles[0].x, circles[0].y);
for (var i=1; i<cnt; i++) {
ctx.lineTo(circles[i].x, circles[i].y);
}
ctx.stroke();
}
functiondrawCircles() {
var cnt= circles.length;
ctx.fillStyle = '#4A8';
for (var i=0; i<cnt; i++) {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(circles[i].x, circles[i].y, circles[i].r, 0, 6.282);
ctx.fill();
}
}
createCircles(4);
drawLines();
drawCircles();
Solution 3:
Here is the JSFIDDLE link: http://jsfiddle.net/WfF3v/1/. Is that what you want?
Below is the JS code:
functiondraw_circle(center_x, center_y){
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var centerX = center_x;
var centerY = center_y;
var radius = 70;
context.beginPath();
context.arc(centerX, centerY, radius, 0, 2 * Math.PI, false);
context.fillStyle = 'green';
context.fill();
context.lineWidth = 5;
context.strokeStyle = '#003300';
context.stroke();
}
functiondraw_line(center1_x, center1_y, center2_x, center2_y) {
var canvas = document.getElementById('myCanvas');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(center1_x, center1_y);
context.lineTo(center2_x, center2_y);
context.stroke();
}
draw_circle(100,100);
draw_circle(300,200);
draw_line(100,100,300,200);
