I found code that crops images in javascript using canvas but I need to crop an image that is never actually displayed anywhere since all I need is to get data from the image. There is a screenshot and then the buffered screenshot image needs to be cropped from specific coordinates.
The image is simply stored in a variable to begin with let img = new Image()
. How could this code be modified to crop an image stored in the buffer only?
function resizeImage(url, width, height, x, y, callback) {
var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var imageObj = new Image();
// set canvas dimensions
canvas.width = width;
canvas.height = height;
imageObj.onload = function () {
context.drawImage(imageObj, x, y, width, height, 0, 0, width, height);
callback(canvas.toDataURL());
};
imageObj.src = url;
}
Since no one answered I will post what I found. In the end I achieved what I needed using the library Sharp's extract feature.
img.onload = resizeImg;
img.src = 'image.png';
function resizeImg() {
this.path = this.path = 'image.png';
sharp(this.path)
.resize(this.width * 2, this.height * 2)
.extract({ width: 100, height: 20, left: 250, top: 100 })
.toBuffer({ resolveWithObject: true })
.then(({ data, info }) => {
//process data
})
}
