q-floodfill-hsl

q-floodfill

Optimized, non-recursive flood fill algorithm using a scan line search.

Implemented in TypeScript. Zero dependencies and bundle size around 1.8k (gzipped and minified).

Demo - https://pavelkukov.github.io/q-floodfill/

🙌 Acknowledgments

The work here is heavily inspired from QuickFill algorithm by John R. Shaw. https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/6017/QuickFill-An-Efficient-Flood-Fill-Algorithm

📈 Performance

Needs ~30-40ms to fill 800x660 canvas. For comparison, wasm-flood-fill needs ~50-60ms for the same operation.

🧩 Installing

npm install --save q-floodfill

✔ Usage

// import default from module
import FloodFill from 'q-floodfill'
// get 2d context
const context = canvas.getContext('2d')
// get image data
const imgData = context.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height)
// Construct flood fill instance
const floodFill = new FloodFill(imgData)
// Modify image data
floodFill.fill(fillColor, x, y, 0)
// put the modified data back in context
context.putImageData(floodFill.imageData, 0, 0)

Options

• Get modified pixels count

// Construct flood fill instance
const floodFill = new FloodFill(imgData)
// Modify image data
floodFill.fill(fillColor, x, y, 0)
// Read property modifiedPixelsCount
const count = floodFill.modifiedPixelsCount

• Collect modified pixels. This option is having a significant impact on performance.

const floodFill = new FloodFill(imgData)
// Set collectModifiedPixels to true
floodFill.collectModifiedPixels = true
// Modify image data
floodFill.fill(fillColor, x, y, 0)
// Read property modifiedPixels
const pixels = floodFill.modifiedPixels
// The type of modifiedPixels is Set<string>
// Each point is stored in the format `${x}|${y}`

Useful exports

{
    isSameColor, // Compare two colors for equality with optional tolerance
    setColorAtPixel, // Set pixel color by x, y coordinates in ImageData array
    getColorAtPixel, // Get pixel color from ImageData array by x, y coordinates
    colorToRGBA, // Convert CSS rgba, rgb or HEX color to RGBA color
    hex2RGBA, // convert CSS hex to RGBA color. Alpha is 255 by default
    ColorRGBA, // Type definition {r: number, g: number, b: number, a: number}
