Micro module to get the color of a single pixel on a HTML canvas
Micro module to get the color of a single pixel on a HTML canvas
This is a convenience method around the canvas getImageData
API for just one pixel. If you need to get the color of a lot of pixels at once, it's best to use the underlying API: it's more efficient because you can specify the coordinates of the patch.
var canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
var color = getCanvasPixelColor(canvas, 200, 10); // returns an array/object
//==> [255, 0, 100, 0.9]
//==> {r:255, g:0, b:100, a:0.9, rgb:'rgb(255,0,100)', rgba:'rgba(255,0,100,0.9)'}
var red = color.r; // 255
var red = color[0]; // 255
var alpha = color.a; // 0.9
var cssString = color.rgb; // 'rgb(255,0,100)'
npm install --save get-canvas-pixel-color
var getCanvasPixelColor = require('get-canvas-pixel-color');
import getCanvasPixelColor from 'get-canvas-pixel-color';
let canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
let {r, g, b} = getCanvasPixelColor(canvas, 200, 10);
