I made a square grid using HTML canvas and I am implementing a drag mechanism, such that the user can draw only rectangles by dragging over the grid.
In the below solution, the user can draw non-rectangle shapes, depending on how the user drags.
An additional question : The grid can be of any size and the drag operation is laggy for large rectangles. Any performance improvement suggestions for that ?
Here are my code of html and javascript
function getSquare(canvas, evt) {
var rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
return {
x: 1 + (evt.clientX - rect.left) - (evt.clientX - rect.left)%10,
y: 1 + (evt.clientY - rect.top) - (evt.clientY - rect.top)%10
};
}
function emptySquare(context) {
context.rect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
context.fillStyle = "#ffffff"
context.fill();
context.strokeStyle = "#ddd";
context.stroke();
}
function range(start, end) {
var ans = [];
if (end > start) {
for (let i = start; i <= end; i += 10) {
ans.push(i);
}
} else {
emptySquare(context);
for (let i = start; i >= end; i -= 10) {
ans.push(i);
}}
return ans;
}
function drawBoard(context) {
for (var x = 0.5; x < 20001; x += 10) {
context.moveTo(x, 0);
context.lineTo(x,20000);
}
for (var y = 0.5; y < 20001; y += 10) {
context.moveTo(0, y);
context.lineTo(20000, y);
}
context.strokeStyle = "#ddd";
context.stroke();
}
function fillSquare(context, x, y){
context.fillStyle = "#70B7B5";
context.fillRect(x,y,9,9);
}
var canvas = document.getElementById('myBoard');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
var A;
drawBoard(context);
var isDrag= false;
// drawBoard(context);
canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', function(evt) {
var mousePos = getSquare(canvas, evt);
isDrag=true;
fillSquare(context, mousePos.x, mousePos.y);
previousPos = mousePos;
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(evt) {
if (isDrag) {
var mousePos = getSquare(canvas, evt);
var x_dist = range(previousPos.x, mousePos.x);
var y_dist = range(previousPos.y, mousePos.y);
for (x in x_dist) {
for (y in y_dist) {
fillSquare(context, x_dist[x], y_dist[y]);
}
}
}
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener('mouseup', function(evt) {
if (isDrag){
isDrag = false;
}
}, false);
var canvas = document.getElementById('myBoard');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
// drawBoard(context);
var isDrag=false;
canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', function(evt) {
var mousePos = getSquare(canvas, evt);
isDrag=true;
fillSquare(context, mousePos.x, mousePos.y);
previousPos = mousePos;
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(evt) {
if (isDrag) {
var mousePos = getSquare(canvas, evt);
var x_dist = range(previousPos.x, mousePos.x);
var y_dist = range(previousPos.y, mousePos.y);
for (x in x_dist) {
for (y in y_dist) {
fillSquare(context, x_dist[x], y_dist[y]);
}
}
}
}, false);
canvas.addEventListener('mouseup', function(evt) {
if (isDrag){
isDrag = false;
}
}, false);

Another approach to solve the lag issue is to make two canvases: one for the background grid lines and the other one for drawing the green rectangles.
<div>
<canvas id="bg" width="1440" height="1200"></canvas>
<canvas id="myBoard" width="1440" height="1200"></canvas>
</div>
Set the #bg
canvas so that #myBoard
is in front of it:
#bg {
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
}
Then draw the grid lines on the #bg
canvas:
const bg = document.getElementById('bg')
const bgContext = bg.getContext('2d')
drawBoard(bgContext)
Finally, move the emptySquare(context)
function into the mousemove
event callback and edit it as follows:
function emptySquare(context) {
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)
}
So it will only clear the #myBoard
canvas while #bg
stays the same without needing to redraw it each time.
Example:
const bg = document.getElementById('bg')
const bgContext = bg.getContext('2d')
drawBoard(bgContext)
function getSquare(canvas, evt) {
var rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect()
return {
x: 1 + (evt.clientX - rect.left) - ((evt.clientX - rect.left) % 10),
y: 1 + (evt.clientY - rect.top) - ((evt.clientY - rect.top) % 10),
}
}
function emptySquare(context) {
context.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)
}
function range(start, end) {
var ans = []
if (end > start) {
for (let i = start; i <= end; i += 10) {
ans.push(i)
}
} else {
for (let i = start; i >= end; i -= 10) {
ans.push(i)
}
}
return ans
}
function drawBoard(context) {
for (var x = 0.5; x < 20001; x += 10) {
context.moveTo(x, 0)
context.lineTo(x, 20000)
}
for (var y = 0.5; y < 20001; y += 10) {
context.moveTo(0, y)
context.lineTo(20000, y)
}
context.strokeStyle = '#ddd'
context.stroke()
}
function fillSquare(context, x, y) {
context.fillStyle = '#70B7B5'
context.fillRect(x, y, 9, 9)
}
var canvas = document.getElementById('myBoard')
var context = canvas.getContext('2d')
var isDrag = false
canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', function(evt) {
var mousePos = getSquare(canvas, evt)
isDrag = true
fillSquare(context, mousePos.x, mousePos.y)
previousPos = mousePos
}, false)
canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', function(evt) {
if (isDrag) {
var mousePos = getSquare(canvas, evt)
var x_dist = range(previousPos.x, mousePos.x)
var y_dist = range(previousPos.y, mousePos.y)
emptySquare(context)
for (x in x_dist) {
for (y in y_dist) {
fillSquare(context, x_dist[x], y_dist[y])
}
}
}
}, false)
canvas.addEventListener('mouseup', function(evt) {
if (isDrag) {
isDrag = false
}
}, false)
#bg {
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
}
