I am working in HTML5 and i am trying to draw a watermark on image using text. I have following code:
<html>
<body onload="addWaterMarkOnPage();">
<div id="pageContainer" style="width: 612px; height: 792px;">
<canvas id="page1" width="612" height="792"></canvas> //image loading canvas
</canvas>
</div>
</body>
<html>
JavaScript
function addWaterMarkOnPage()
{
var watermarkCanvas=document.createElement("canvas");
watermarkCanvas.id="watermark";
var parentDivElement=document.getElementById("pageContainer")
var parentCanvasElment=document.getElementById("page");
watermarkCanvas.width=parentCanvasElment.width;
watermarkCanvas.height=parentCanvasElment.height;
watermarkCanvas.setAttribute("style","position:absolute")
if(parentDivElement.firstChild)
parentDivElement.insertBefore(watermarkCanvas, parentDivElement.firstChild);
else
parentDivElement.appendChild(watermarkCanvas);
var watermarkContext=watermarkCanvas.getContext('2d');
watermarkContext.globalAlpha=0.5;
watermarkContext.beginPath();
var metrics = watermarkContext.measureText("WaterMark Demo");
var width = metrics.width;
watermarkContext.rotate( (Math.PI / 180) * -45); //rotate 25 degrees
watermarkContext.font = "72px comic Sans MS" ;
watermarkContext.fillStyle = "Red";
watermarkContext.fillText("WaterMark Demo",-width*2,72);
watermarkContext.fill();
}
I want to draw Text ("WaterMark Demo") diagonally in page.I have tried to do it by many ways but i didn't get success.
Here is some improved code:
var container = document.getElementById("pageContainer")
var origCanvas = document.getElementById("page1");
var wmCanvas = document.createElement("canvas");
wmCanvas.id = "watermark";
wmCanvas.width = origCanvas.width;
wmCanvas.height = origCanvas.height;
wmCanvas.setAttribute("style", "position:absolute;border:1px solid black")
if (container.firstChild)
container.insertBefore(wmCanvas, container.firstChild);
else
container.appendChild(wmCanvas);
var wmContext = wmCanvas.getContext('2d');
wmContext.globalAlpha = 0.5;
// setup text for filling
wmContext.font = "72px Comic Sans MS";
wmContext.fillStyle = "red";
// get the metrics with font settings
var metrics = wmContext.measureText("WaterMark Demo");
var width = metrics.width;
// height is font size
var height = 72;
// change the origin coordinate to the middle of the context
wmContext.translate(origCanvas.width / 2, origCanvas.height / 2);
// rotate the context (so it's rotated around its center)
wmContext.rotate(-Math.atan(origCanvas.height / origCanvas.width));
// as the origin is now at the center, just need to center the text
wmContext.fillText("WaterMark Demo", -width / 2, height / 2);
<div id="pageContainer" style="width: 612px; height: 792px;">
<canvas id="page1" width="612" height="792"></canvas>
</div>
