<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>A <span class="inline_code">canvas.js</span> animation is written in JavaScript code as part of&nbsp;a HTML file. It will run in all modern web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE7+, Safari, Opera). Performance may vary &nbsp;from browser to browser. Animations on mobile devices are (currently) quite slow.</p>
<h3>Quick overview</h3>
<p>Below is an example&nbsp;script. The HTML source imports the JavaScript <span class="inline_code">canvas.js</span>&nbsp;module with the standard set of drawing commands. Note the <span class="inline_code">&lt;script type="text/canvas"&gt;</span>&nbsp;that defines the animation. It has a <span class="inline_code">setup()</span> function that will be executed once when the animation starts, and a&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">draw()</span> function that will be executed each animation frame.</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">&lt;!doctype html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="canvas.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;script type="text/canvas"&gt;
function setup(canvas) {
canvas.size(500, 500);
}
function draw(canvas) {
canvas.clear();
translate(250, 250);
rotate(canvas.frame);
rect(-150, -150, 300, 300, {fill: color(1,0,0,1)});
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;</pre></div>
<h3 class="example">Syntax</h3>
<p>Functions can have parameters with default values. For example, the <span class="inline_code">star()</span> function takes two to five parameters in the right order (<span class="inline_code">x</span>, <span class="inline_code">y</span>, <span class="inline_code">points</span>, <span class="inline_code">outer</span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">inner</span>). If you supply four parameters, the fifth parameter assumes a default value (<span class="inline_code">inner=50</span>). If you need to define the fifth parameter, you must define all parameters preceding it. Contrarily, some functions have optional, named parameters. For example, the <span class="inline_code">rect()</span> function takes four parameters and a fifth, optional <span class="inline_code">roundness</span>.</p>
<p>If you want to set <span class="inline_code">roundness</span>, you must supply it by name and enclosed in curly braces. If the documentation mentions other optional parameters you can supply these as well inside the curly braces, in any order. For example:&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">rect(50,</span> <span class="inline_code">50,</span> <span class="inline_code">100,</span> <span class="inline_code">100,</span> <span class="inline_code">{roundness:</span> <span class="inline_code">0.2,</span> <span class="inline_code">fill:</span> <span class="inline_code">color(1,0,0)});</span></p>
<h3>Editor</h3>
<p>You can use the <a href="http://www.clips.ua.ac.be/media/canvas/" target="_blank">online editor</a> (with syntax coloring and live editing) for sketching and testing. It runs in Chrome, FireFox and Safari. You can import example scripts from <span class="inline_code">pattern/examples/07-canvas/</span> or export new scripts (remember to change the <span class="inline_code">&lt;script&gt;</span> link to <span class="inline_code">canvas.js</span> in the HTML source). The editor will provide hintz when an error occurs, but the best way to track errors is to use the browser's developer tools (e.g., FireBug).</p>

<h2><a name="coordinates"></a>Coordinate system</h2>
<p>By, default, the canvas origin (0, 0) is located in the upper-left corner. The origin can be moved (or <em>translated</em>) with the <span class="inline_code">translate()</span> function, where positive numbers define the amount of pixels to move right and down.</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><img class="border" src="../g/pattern-canvas-origin1.jpg" alt="" /></td>
<td>
<p>When the origin is translated to (100, 80), all subsequent shapes drawn at (0, 0) originate from this point. A shape is drawn, rotated and scaled from its top-left corner – except ellipses which are always drawn from their center.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img class="border" src="../g/pattern-canvas-origin2.jpg" alt="" /></td>
<td>
<p>When the origin is translated to (100, 80) and a rectangle with a width of and height of 100 is then drawn at (-50, -50), it will have its center at the origin point, as illustrated in the figure on the left:</p>
<p class="inline_code">translate(100, 80)<br />rotate(45)<br />rect(-50, -50, 100, 100)&nbsp;</p>

<h2><a name="color"></a>Color</h2>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">Color</span> object can be used to store a color in terms of R,G,B,A channel values (red, green, blue and alpha). It can be passed to <span class="inline_code">background()</span>, <span class="inline_code">fill()</span> and <span class="inline_code">stroke()</span> to set the current drawing color for primitives.</p>
<p>A color can be initialized with either four values (R,G,B,A), three values (R,G,B), two values (grayscale + alpha) or one value (grayscale, a&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">Color</span>, or an <span class="inline_code">[R,G,B,A]</span> array). An optional <span class="inline_code">base</span> parameter defines the range of the given values (e.g., 0-255 instead of 0.0-1.0). An optional <span class="inline_code">colorspace</span> defines the color space of the given parameters: <span class="inline_code">HSB</span>&nbsp;expects hue, saturation, brightness and alpha instead of red, green, blue and alpha.</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var clr = new Color(r, g, b, a, {base: 1.0, colorspace: RGB});</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var clr = new Color(r, g, b);</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var clr = new Color(grayscale, a);</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var clr = new Color(grayscale);</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var clr = new Color(clr);</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">clr.r // Red value between 0.0-1.0.
clr.g // Green value between 0.0-1.0.
clr.b // Blue value between 0.0-1.0.
clr.a // Alpha value between 0.0-1.0.</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">clr.rgba() // Returns an array of [R,G,B,A]-values.
clr.map({base: 1.0, colorspace: RGB}) // Returns an array of [R,G,B,A]-values.
clr.rotate(angle) // Returns a new Color.
clr.adjust({hue: 0, saturation: 1, brightness: 1}) </pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">clr.copy() </pre><ul>
<li><span class="inline_code">Color.map()</span> returns an array of channel values mapped to the given base and colorspace.
<br />For example: <span class="inline_code">clr.map({base: 255, colorspace: HSB})</span> <br />yields an <span class="inline_code">[H,S,B,A]</span> array of values between 0-255.</li>
<li><span class="inline_code">Color.rotate()</span> returns a color with hue rotated on the <a href="http://kuler.adobe.com/#create/fromacolor" target="_blank">RYB color wheel</a> by the given angle.</li>
<li><span class="inline_code">Color.adjust()</span> returns a color with added <span class="inline_code">hue</span> and multiplied <span class="inline_code">saturation</span> and <span class="inline_code">brightness</span> (values between 0.0-1.0).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Color state functions</h3>
<p>The color() function returns a new <span class="inline_code">Color</span>. The <span class="inline_code">background()</span>, <span class="inline_code">fill()</span> and <span class="inline_code">stroke()</span> functions set the current canvas background, shape fill and shape outline color respectively. All subsequently drawn primitives (e.g., lines, ellipses) will use the current fill and outline color. Each function takes the same parameters as a <span class="inline_code">Color</span> object (R,G,B,A | R,G,B | grayscale + alpha | <span class="inline_code">Color</span>&nbsp;| &nbsp;<span class="inline_code">[R,G,B,A]</span>). Each function returns its current setting.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">strokewidth()</span> function sets the width of the outline.</p>
<pre class="brush: jscript;gutter: false; light: true; fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; ">color(r, g, b, a, {base: 1.0, colorspace: RGB})</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">background(r, g, b, a)</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">fill(r, g, b, a)</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">stroke(r, g, b, a)</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">nofill()</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">nostroke()</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">strokewidth(width)</pre><h3>Color filters</h3>
<p>A color filter returns a new <span class="inline_code">Color</span> that is a variation of the given color, useful for constructing a set of colors that look aesthetically pleasing together. The <span class="inline_code">darker()</span> and <span class="inline_code">lighter()</span> functions modify the color's brightness in HSB, <span class="inline_code">complement()</span> returns the color that is opposite on the RYB color wheel, <span class="inline_code">analog()</span> returns a random adjacent color on the color wheel.</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">darker(clr, step=0.2) // Returns a new Color.</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">lighter(clr, step=0.2) // Returns a new Color. </pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">complement(clr) // Returns a new Color. </pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">analog(clr, angle=20, d=0.1) // d = random percentage saturation &amp; brightness.</pre><h3>Color gradient</h3>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">Gradient</span> object can be used to create a smooth <span class="inline_code">LINEAR</span> or <span class="inline_code">RADIAL</span> transition between two <span class="inline_code">Color</span> objects. It can be passed to <span class="inline_code">fill()</span> instead of a solid color.</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var g = new Gradient(clr1, clr2, {type: LINEAR, x: 0, y: 0, spread: 100, angle: 0});</pre><h3>Shadows</h3>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">shadow()</span> function enables drop shadows for all subsequently drawn shapes:</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">shadow(dx=5, dy=5, blur=5, alpha=0.5)</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">noshadow()</pre><p>&nbsp;</p>
<hr />
<h2><a name="transformation"></a>Transformation</h2>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">translate()</span> function sets the current origin point for primitives, paths, images and text. By default the origin is (0, 0), the <strong>upper left</strong> corner of the canvas. With <span class="inline_code">translate(100,100)</span>, the current origin becomes (100, 100). If <span class="inline_code">translate(-50,0)</span> is then called, the current origin becomes (50, 100). In the same way, <span class="inline_code">rotate(30)</span> followed by <span class="inline_code">rotate(60)</span> sets the current rotation for all subsequent shapes to 90°.</p>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">push()</span> and <span class="inline_code">pop()</span> functions create a nested branch in the current transformation state. The effect of <span class="inline_code">translate()</span>, <span class="inline_code">rotate()</span> and <span class="inline_code">scale()</span> after a <span class="inline_code">push()</span> only lasts until <span class="inline_code">pop()</span> is called. The <span class="inline_code">reset()</span> function resets all transformations (origin (0, 0), no rotation, scale 100%).</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">translate(x, y) // Push horizontal and vertical offset.</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">rotate(degrees) // Push angle in degrees.</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">scale(x, y=None) // Push relative scale: 1.0 = 100%</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">push()</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">pop()</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">reset()</pre><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><a name="primitives"></a>Primitives</h2>
<p>Geometric primitives are the simplest shapes that can be drawn to the canvas: <em>line</em>, <em>rectangle</em>, <em>triangle</em>, <em>ellipse</em>, and two additional shapes, <em>arrow</em> and <em>star</em>.</p>

<h2><a name="path"></a>Path</h2>
<h3><span style="font-size: 16px;">Path element</span></h3>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">PathElement</span> object defines a single point in a <span class="inline_code">Path</span>. Its <span class="inline_code">cmd</span> property defines the kind of segment from the previous point to this point: <span class="inline_code">MOVETO</span>, <span class="inline_code">LINETO</span>, <span class="inline_code">CURVETO</span> or <span class="inline_code">CLOSE</span>. For curve segments, the point has <span class="inline_code">ctrl1</span> and <span class="inline_code">ctrl2</span> properties that define the control handles of the curve:</p>
<ul>
<li><span class="inline_code">ctrl1</span> describes the direction and magnitude of the curve starting from the previous point,</li>
<li><span class="inline_code">ctrl2</span> describes the direction and magnitude of the curve ending in this point.</li>
</ul>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var pt = new PathElement(x, y, cmd);</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">pt.cmd // MOVETO, LINETO, CURVETO, CLOSE

<p>The <span class="inline_code">Path</span> object contains an array of <span class="inline_code">PathElement</span> objects. The points in a path can easily be traversed in a <span class="inline_code">for</span>-loop. New points can be added to the path with the <span class="inline_code">moveto()</span>, <span class="inline_code">lineto(</span>), <span class="inline_code">curveto()</span> methods.</p>

<li><span class="inline_code">Path.draw()</span> draws the path to the canvas.<br />Optional parameters include <span class="inline_code">fill</span>, <span class="inline_code">stroke</span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">strokewidth</span>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Path state functions</h3>
<p>The&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">beginpath(</span>) function starts a new current path at (x, y). Points can be added to the current path with <span class="inline_code">moveto()</span>, <span class="inline_code">lineto()</span>, <span class="inline_code">curveto()</span>&nbsp;until <span class="inline_code">endpath()</span>&nbsp;is called and the path is drawn (or returned).&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">drawpath()</span> function draws a <span class="inline_code">Path</span> using the current color and transformation state. The color state can be overridden by passing an optional <span class="inline_code">fill</span>, <span class="inline_code">stroke</span>&nbsp;and/or <span class="inline_code">strokewidth</span> to the function.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">findpath()</span> function takes an array of <span class="inline_code">[x,y]</span> coordinates (or <span class="inline_code">PathElement</span> or&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">Point</span> objects)&nbsp;and returns a smooth&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">Path</span>.</p>

<h2><a name="image"></a>Image</h2>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">image()</span> function draws an image to the canvas. It can load a PNG, JPEG or GIF from a given URL. However, images are loaded asynchronously, i.e., the browser is idle while the image downloads in the background. The safe way is to <strong>preload</strong> an <span class="inline_code">Image</span> object in&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">setup()</span>. The main <span class="inline_code">draw()</span> will not be called until all <span class="inline_code">Image</span> objects in <span class="inline_code">setup()</span> are ready.</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">function setup(canvas) {

images.push(new Image('http://www.clips.ua.ac.be/media/pattern_schema.gif'));
}
function draw(canvas) {
canvas.clear();

}</pre></div>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">Image</span> object can be used to load an image from a <span class="inline_code">http://</span> location (<span class="inline_code">file://</span> will not work), a <span class="inline_code">data:</span>&nbsp;string, another <span class="inline_code">Image</span>,&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">Pixels</span>, an offscreen&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">Buffer</span> or a&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">Canvas</span>. Optionally, it will be rescaled to the given width and height. Note that for security reasons you cannot get <span class="inline_code">Pixels</span>&nbsp;of remote images (i.e., from a URL on another server).</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var img = new Image(path, x=0, y=0, {width: null, height: null, alpha: 1.0});

<p>The <span class="inline_code">Pixels</span> object can be used to retrieve an array of R,G,B,A values (0-255) for each pixel in an image. Values can be modified, after which <span class="inline_code">Pixels.update()</span> must be called to reflect any changes to <span class="inline_code">Pixels.array</span>. The original image is not modified. A <span class="inline_code">Pixels</span> object can be passed to the <span class="inline_code">image()</span> function to draw it to the canvas.</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var pixels = new Pixels(img);</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">pixels.width // Image width in pixels.

<li><span class="inline_code">Pixels.map()</span> applies a function to each pixel. Function takes (and returns) an <span class="inline_code">[R,G,B,A]</span>-array.</li>
<li><span class="inline_code">Pixels.get()</span> returns pixel <span class="inline_code">i</span> as an <span class="inline_code">[R,G,B,A]</span>-array with values between 0-255.</li>

for (var j=0; j &lt; p.width; j++) {
var rgba = p.get(i * p.width + j);
}
}&nbsp;</pre></div>
<h3>Image filters&nbsp;</h3>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">render()</span> function returns an <span class="inline_code">Image</span> from the drawing operations in the given callback function, i.e., a <em>procedural</em> image. This is useful for example to render a blur effect on a <span class="inline_code">BezierPath</span> or text.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">filter()</span> function returns a new <span class="inline_code">Image</span> with the given callback function applied to each pixel. This function takes an <span class="inline_code">[R,G,B,A]</span>-array (base 255) and returns a new array.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">polar()</span> function returns a new <span class="inline_code">Image</span> based on a polar coordinates filter (i.e., radial).&nbsp;The given callback is a <span class="inline_code">function(distance, angle)</span> that returns new <span class="inline_code">[distance,</span> <span class="inline_code">angle]</span>-array.</p>

<p>The <span class="inline_code">Canvas</span> object manages the animation container.&nbsp;With <span class="inline_code">&lt;script type="text/canvas"&gt;</span>, there is no explicit need to initialize a new canvas in your script. It will be created for you and passed as a&nbsp;parameter <span class="inline_code">canvas</span> to the&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">draw()</span> and <span class="inline_code">setup()</span>&nbsp;functions in your script:</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">&lt;!doctype html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="canvas.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;script type="text/canvas" loop="true"&gt;
function setup(canvas) {
canvas.size(500, 500);
}
function draw(canvas) {
canvas.clear();
// Add drawing code here.
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;</pre></div>
<p>Custom animations require a HTML&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">&lt;canvas&gt;</span> element and a <span class="inline_code">window.onload()</span>&nbsp;that binds the element to a <span class="inline_code">Canvas</span> object and assigns a <span class="inline_code">draw()</span> and a <span class="inline_code">setup()</span> function to the canvas:</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">&lt;!doctype html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="canvas.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
function setup(canvas) {
canvas.size(500, 500);
}
function draw(canvas) {
canvas.clear();
// Add drawing code here.
}
window.onload = function() {
canvas = new Canvas(document.getElementById("canvas1"));
canvas.setup = setup;
canvas.draw = draw;
canvas.run();
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;canvas id="canvas1" width="500px" height="500px"&gt;&lt;/canvas&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;</pre></div>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">Canvas</span> object takes a <span class="inline_code">&lt;canvas&gt;</span> element:</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var canvas = new Canvas(element);</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">canvas.id
canvas.element // HTML &lt;canvas&gt; element.
canvas.width // Element width.
canvas.height // Element height.
canvas.frame // Current animation frame (start = 1).
canvas.fps // Frames per second (read-only).
canvas.dt // Time elapsed since last frame.
canvas.mouse // Mouse object.
canvas.variables // Widget variables.</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">canvas.size(width, height)</pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">canvas.setup()
canvas.draw()
canvas.clear()
canvas.run()
canvas.pause()
canvas.stop()
canvas.active() // Returns true if the animation is running.
canvas.focus() // Sets the canvas as current drawing context. </pre><pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">canvas.image() // Returns the canvas as an Image.
canvas.save() // Returns the canvas as PNG data.</pre><ul>
<li><span class="inline_code">Canvas.setup()</span> is meant to be overridden. It runs once at the start of the animation.</li>
<li><span class="inline_code">Canvas.draw()</span> is meant be overridden. It runs each frame.</li>
<li><span class="inline_code">Canvas.save()</span> and <span class="inline_code">Canvas.image()</span> will throw an error if the canvas contains remote images<br />(i.e., from a URL on a different server). This is for security reasons, see <span class="link-maintenance"><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CORS_Enabled_Image" target="_blank">CORS</a></span>.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<h2><a name="widget"></a>Widgets</h2>
<p>Widgets (e.g., buttons, sliders) give you the possibility to create apps that users can interact with without diving into the JavaScript code.&nbsp;The <span class="inline_code">widget()</span> function creates a widget linked to the given&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">Canvas</span>. The value of the widget can be retrieved as <span class="inline_code">Canvas.variables[variable]</span>. The <span class="inline_code">type</span>&nbsp;can be <span class="inline_code">STRING</span> or <span class="inline_code">NUMBER</span> (a field), <span class="inline_code">BOOLEAN</span> (a checkbox), <span class="inline_code">RANGE</span> (a slider), <span class="inline_code">LIST</span> (a dropdown list) or <span class="inline_code">FUNCTION</span> (a button).</p>
<p>Optionally, a default <span class="inline_code">value</span> can be given. For lists, this is an <span class="inline_code">Array</span>, the <span class="inline_code">index</span> of the selected value is 0 by default. For sliders, you can also set <span class="inline_code">min</span>, <span class="inline_code">max</span> and <span class="inline_code">step</span>.&nbsp;For functions, a <span class="inline_code">callback(event)</span> must be given. To get the canvas in the callback function, use <span class="inline_code">event.target.canvas</span>. If the function does drawing, call <span class="inline_code">event.target.canvas.focus()</span> first.</p>
<p>The <span class="inline_code">widget()</span> function will generate a <span class="inline_code">&lt;div id="[canvas.id]_widgets" class="widgets"&gt;</span>, if it does not yet exist. The <span class="inline_code">&lt;div&gt;</span> is added to the page below the canvas. Optionally, a different&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">parent</span> HTML element can be given. The parent contains all canvas widgets, each wrapped in a <span class="inline_code">&lt;span class="widget"&gt;</span>.</p>
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">widget(canvas, variable, type, {
parent: null,
value: null,
min: 0,
max: 1,
step: 0.01,
index: 0,
callback: function(event) { }
})</pre><p>For example, the following script comes with buttons to start and pause the animation:</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">function setup(canvas) {
widget(canvas, "start", FUNCTION, {callback: function(e) {
e.target.canvas.run();
}});
widget(canvas, "pause", FUNCTION, {callback: function(e) {
e.target.canvas.pause();
}});
}
function draw(canvas) {
canvas.clear();
translate(200, 200);
rotate(canvas.frame);
rect(-75, -75, 150, 150);
}</pre></div>
<div class="example">&nbsp;</div>
<hr />
<h2 class="example"><a name="json"></a>JSON</h2>
<div class="example">The easiest way to incorporate data sets in an animation is by using&nbsp;<a href="http://www.json.org/" target="_blank">JSON</a>, a lightweight data-interchange format based on associative arrays (i.e., like a&nbsp;<span class="inline_code">dict</span>&nbsp;in Python).&nbsp;For example, you can use the <span class="inline_code">Datasheet</span> object in <a href="pattern.db.html">pattern.db</a> to generate JSON from Python:</div>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:python; gutter:false; light:true;">&gt;&gt;&gt; from pattern.db import Datasheet, STRING, INTEGER
&gt;&gt;&gt; ds = Datasheet(fields=[('name', STRING), ('count', INTEGER)])
&gt;&gt;&gt; ds.append(( 'chickens', 12))
&gt;&gt;&gt; ds.append(( 'penguins', 26))
&gt;&gt;&gt; ds.append(('sombreros', 9))
&gt;&gt;&gt; open('data.js', 'w').write('var data = ' + ds.json + ';')</pre></div>
<p>This generates a <span class="inline_code">data.js</span> file that defines a <span class="inline_code">data</span> variable:</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush:javascript; gutter:false; light:true;">var data = [
{'name': 'chickens', 'count': 12},
{'name': 'penguins', 'count': 26},
{'name': 'sombreros', 'count': 9}
];</pre></div>
<p>We can load <span class="inline_code">data.js</span> in the HTML <span class="inline_code">&lt;head&gt;</span> section so <span class="inline_code">data</span> becomes available in the animation:</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="brush: jscript;gutter: false; light: true; fontsize: 100; first-line: 1; ">&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="canvas.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;script type="text/canvas"&gt;
function draw(canvas) {
// Draw the data as a bar chart.
var dx = 10;
var dy = 10;
for (var i=0; i &lt; data.length; i++) {
rect(dx, dy, data[i]['count'] * 10, 30);
text(data[i]['name'], dx+10, dy+20, {fill:1}); dy += 40;
}
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;</pre></div>
