Below is the code I am currently using. With 0
rotation, the image is correctly scaled to fill the canvas. (similar to background-size: cover
, except using JavaScript on a Canvas)
I'm trying to add a rotate feature, with the following features.
Keep image centered while rotating. I tried using
width / 2
intranslate
, and then the opposite indrawImage
, but as you can see the image did not stay centered. I'm not sure if this is a conflict with my earlierx

centering code, or if trigonometry is required here?Automatically scale the image further to cover the canvas. These are arbitrary rotations, not 90 degree increments. I don't want to crop any more of the image than necessary to fill the canvas corners. This is much more complex trigonometry than I am used to dealing with.
I think this can be done with Math.sin
and Math.cos
, but it's been a very long time since I've used them. I'm especially uncertain about how to achieve #2. Any help would be appreciated.
var canvas = document.querySelector('canvas')
var context = canvas.getContext('2d')
var image = new Image()
image.src = 'http://i.stack.imgur.com/7FsbT.jpg'
image.onload = function () {
var maxScaleX = canvas.width / image.width
var maxScaleY = canvas.height / image.height
scale = maxScaleX > maxScaleY ? maxScaleX : maxScaleY
var width = image.width * scale
var height = image.height * scale
var x = (width - canvas.width) / -2
var y = (height - canvas.height) / -2
var degrees = 30
context.setTransform(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0) // reset previous translate and/or rotate
context.translate(width / 2, height / 2)
context.rotate(degrees * Math.PI / 180)
context.drawImage(image, x - width / 2, y - height / 2, width, height)
}
<canvas width="350" height="150" style="border: solid 1px black"></canvas>
