CopyRect with TPaint? |
Fri, Jan 16 2015 4:48 PM | Permanent Link |
Jim Gallagher | I was trying to expand the paint demo, and noticed that there is apparently no exposed CopyRect method for TPaint. Is this because JavaScript and/or HTML5 don't support this, or is it possible it will be implemented in a future release?
Thanks, -Jim |

Is this because JavaScript and/or HTML5 don't support this, or is it possible it will be implemented in a future release? I think it's the latter - something that would be added in the future. The canvas is an HTML5 canvas object underneath and looking at the draft spec (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#the-canvas-element) the "getImageData" followed by "putImageData" would likely achieve what you're looking for. So support is present underneath and simply not in the EWB. You could try to add it yourself to the framework as it looks straightforward enough (getting the ImageData right would be the hardest part) but otherwise webctrls.wbs units is hwere the TCanvas is. Or see if if ewb v2 adds it for you - hopefully coming soon now. Raul |

That sounds a little outside my comfort zone, but I might poke around and see if I can find a simple example of integrating external Javascript in that way. >Or see if if ewb v2 adds it for you - hopefully coming soon now. I am much better at waiting .. Thanks Raul, |

I don't think you need to use external javascript - i would try to modify the framework itself (it 's one of the nice benefits of EWB since you have the source). Check out the TCanvas implementation in webctrls.wbs - if for nothing else then just for a peek underneath Raul |

I will experiment a little with that - if the Internet goes down, it's probably my fault... Thanks for the pointer - I should become more familiar with the internals. -Jim |

I'll tell my son it was you... But the other thing you need to know is that if you change the framework, you must close the IDE to get it to read the changes as it is cached. Obviously keep a backup... And if you come up with something great, refine it, and pass it on to Tim as he will often incorporate useful additions. -- Matthew Jones |

I did spend some time looking at how some other HTML5 routines are called, and made a feeble attempt with get- and putImageData. I could get those to work with Javascript in a browser, but Raul called it right when he said that the imageData object would be the difficult part. One of its properties is an array of: "Uint8ClampedArray representing a one-dimensional array containing the data in the RGBA order, with integer values between 0 and 255 (included)". This sounds like an array of bytes in the Object Pascal world, but the closest I could find in EWB was "char". I threw in the towel, but I learned quite a lot until my head exploded. This was just an experiment anyway - no urgent need for copyRect at present. -Jim |

It would be good to have it on the thinking about list. -- Matthew Jones |
