I'm trying to place a background image on the back of this canvas script I found. I know it's something to do with the context.fillstyle but not sure how to go about it. I'd like that line to read something like this:
context.fillStyle = "url('http://www.samskirrow.com/background.png')";
Here is my current code:
var waveform = (function() {
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("GET", "js/jquery-1.6.4.min.js", false);
req.send();
eval(req.responseText);
req.open("GET", "js/soundmanager2.js", false);
req.send();
eval(req.responseText);
req.open("GET", "js/soundcloudplayer.js", false);
req.send();
eval(req.responseText);
req.open("GET", "js/raf.js", false);
req.send();
eval(req.responseText);
// soundcloud player setup
soundManager.usePolicyFile = true;
soundManager.url = 'http://www.samskirrow.com/client-kyra/js/';
soundManager.flashVersion = 9;
soundManager.useFlashBlock = false;
soundManager.debugFlash = false;
soundManager.debugMode = false;
soundManager.useHighPerformance = true;
soundManager.wmode = 'transparent';
soundManager.useFastPolling = true;
soundManager.usePeakData = true;
soundManager.useWaveformData = true;
soundManager.useEqData = true;
var clientID = "345ae40b30261fe4d9e6719f6e838dac";
var playlistUrl = "https://soundcloud.com/kyraofficial/sets/kyra-ft-cashtastic-good-love";
var waveLeft = [];
var waveRight = [];
// canvas animation setup
var canvas;
var context;
function init(c) {
canvas = document.getElementById(c);
context = canvas.getContext("2d");
soundManager.onready(function() {
initSound(clientID, playlistUrl);
});
aniloop();
}
function aniloop() {
requestAnimFrame(aniloop);
drawWave();
}
function drawWave() {
var step = 10;
var scale = 60;
// clear
context.fillStyle = "#ff19a7";
context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// left wave
context.beginPath();
for ( var i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
var l = (i/(256-step)) * 1000;
var t = (scale + waveLeft[i] * -scale);
if (i == 0) {
context.moveTo(l,t);
} else {
context.lineTo(l,t); //change '128' to vary height of wave, change '256' to move wave up or down.
}
}
context.stroke();
// right wave
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(0, 256);
for ( var i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
context.lineTo(4 * i, 255 + waveRight[i] * 128.);
}
context.lineWidth = 0.5;
context.strokeStyle = "#000";
context.stroke();
}
function updateWave(sound) {
waveLeft = sound.waveformData.left;
}
return {
init : init
};
})();
Revised code - currently just showing black as the background, not an image:
// canvas animation setup
var backgroundImage = new Image();
backgroundImage.src = 'http://www.samskirrow.com/images/main-bg.jpg';
var canvas;
var context;
function init(c) {
canvas = document.getElementById(c);
context = canvas.getContext("2d");
soundManager.onready(function() {
initSound(clientID, playlistUrl);
});
aniloop();
}
function aniloop() {
requestAnimFrame(aniloop);
drawWave();
}
function drawWave() {
var step = 10;
var scale = 60;
// clear
context.drawImage(backgroundImage, 0, 0);
context.fillRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// left wave
context.beginPath();
for ( var i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
var l = (i/(256-step)) * 1000;
var t = (scale + waveLeft[i] * -scale);
if (i == 0) {
context.moveTo(l,t);
} else {
context.lineTo(l,t); //change '128' to vary height of wave, change '256' to move wave up or down.
}
}
context.stroke();
// right wave
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(0, 256);
for ( var i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
context.lineTo(4 * i, 255 + waveRight[i] * 128.);
}
context.lineWidth = 0.5;
context.strokeStyle = "#ff19a7";
context.stroke();
}
function updateWave(sound) {
waveLeft = sound.waveformData.left;
}
return {
init : init
};
})();
