HTML-Canvas-raku

This is a Raku module for composing and rendering HTML-5 canvases.

It supports the majority of the HTML Canvas 2D Context API.

A canvas may be constructed via the API, then rendered to JavaScript via the .js or .to-html methods, or saved to a Cairo-supported format such as PNG, SVG or PDF.

The module includes classes:

Install

This package depends on Cairo, Font::FreeType, Text::FriBidi and HarfBuzz. Additional fonts may also be required on your system on your system:

Install - Fonts

Fonts are currently found using fontconfig's fc-match utility. For example:

% fc-match 'arial;weight=bold'
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

If fc-match is unable to find a font. HTML::Canvas currently falls back to using a mono-spaced font (FreeMono).

The font may need to be installed on your system and/or fontconfig may need additional configuration to ensure it finds the correct font.

Example

use v6;
# Create a simple Canvas. Save as PNG and HTML

use HTML::Canvas;
my HTML::Canvas $canvas .= new: :width(150), :height(100);

$canvas.context: -> \ctx {
    ctx.strokeRect(0, 0, 150, 100);
    ctx.save; {
        ctx.fillStyle = "orange";
        ctx.fillRect(10, 10, 50, 50);

        ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(0, 0, 200, 0.3)";
        ctx.fillRect(35, 35, 50, 50);
    }; ctx.restore;

    ctx.font = "18px Arial";
    ctx.fillText("Hello World", 40, 75);
}

# save canvas as PNG
use Cairo;
my Cairo::Image $img = $canvas.image;
$img.write_png: "examples/canvas-demo.png";

# also save canvas as HTML
my $html = "<html><body>{ $canvas.to-html }</body></html>";
"examples/canvas-demo.html".IO.spurt: $html;

canvas-demo.png

Saving as PDF

use v6;
use Cairo;
use HTML::Canvas;
use HTML::Canvas::To::Cairo;
# create a 128 X 128 point PDF
my Cairo::Surface::PDF $surface .= create("examples/read-me-example.pdf", 128, 128);

# create a PDF with two pages
# use a common cache for objects shared between pages such as
# fonts and images. This reduces both processing times and PDF file sizes.
my  HTML::Canvas::To::Cairo::Cache $cache .= new;

for 1..2 -> $page {
    my HTML::Canvas $canvas .= new;
    my HTML::Canvas::To::Cairo $feed .= new: :$surface, :$canvas, :$cache;
    $canvas.context: {
        .font = "10pt times-roman bold";
        .fillStyle = "blue";
        .strokeStyle = "red";
        .save; {
            .fillStyle = "rgba(1.0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.25)";
            .rect(15, 20, 50, 50);
            .fill;
            .stroke;
        }; .restore;
        .fillText("Page $page/2", 12, 12);
    };
    $surface.show_page;
}

$surface.finish;

Images

The HTML::Canvas::Image class is used to upload images for inclusion in HTML documents, and/or rendering by back-ends.

use HTML::Canvas;
use HTML::Canvas::Image;

my HTML::Canvas $canvas .= new;
my @html-body;
# add the image, as a hidden DOM item
my HTML::Canvas::Image \image .= open("t/images/camelia-logo.png");
@html-body.push: HTML::Canvas.to-html: image, :style("visibility:hidden");
# draw it
$canvas.context: -> \ctx {
    ctx.drawImage(image, 10, 10  );  
};

@html-body.push: $canvas.to-html;

my $html = "<html><body>" ~ @html-body.join ~ "</body></html>";

HTML::Canvas::Image can load a variety of image formats. The built-in HTML::Canvas::To::Cairo renderer only supports PNG images, as below:

Currently supported image formats are:

Back-end PNG GIF JPEG BMP
HTML::Canvas (HTML) X X X X
HTML::Canvas::To::Cairo X
HTML::Canvas::To::PDF X X X

Paths

HTML::Canvas::Path2D can be used to create a re-usable path that can be passed to calls to the fill() or stroke() methods:

use HTML::Canvas;
use HTML::Canvas::Path2D;

my HTML::Canvas $canvas .= new;

$canvas.context: -> \ctx {
    # Create path
    my HTML::Canvas::Path2D \region .= new;
    region.moveTo(30, 90);
    region.lineTo(110, 20);
    region.lineTo(240, 130);
    region.lineTo(60, 130);
    region.lineTo(190, 20);
    region.lineTo(270, 90);
    region.closePath();

    ctx.fillStyle = 'green';
    ctx.fill(region, 'evenodd');

    ctx.translate(100, 100);
    ctx.fillStyle = 'blue';
    ctx.fill(region);
}

The following methods can be used in path construction:

my HTML::Canvas \ctx .= new;
my @html-body;

## Images ##

my HTML::Canvas::Image \image .= open("t/images/crosshair-100x100.jpg");

# save to HTML
@html-body.push: HTML::Canvas.to-html: image, :style("visibility:hidden");
# draw on the canvas
ctx.drawImage(image,  20, 10,  50, 50);

## Patterns ##

my \pat = ctx.createPattern(image,'repeat');
ctx.fillStyle = pat;
ctx.translate(10,50);
ctx.fillRect(10,10,150,100);

## Gradients

with ctx.createRadialGradient(75,50,5,90,60,100) -> $grd {
    $grd.addColorStop(0,"red");
    $grd.addColorStop(0.5,"white");
    $grd.addColorStop(1,"blue");
    ctx.fillStyle = $grd;
    ctx.translate(10,200);
    ctx.fillRect(10, 10, 150, 100);
}

say ctx.js;
