I am having trouble loading an image from a url in javascript. The code below works, but I don't want to have to have the image loaded from html. I want to load the image from a url using pure javascript.
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var img = document.getElementById("imImageId");
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
Simple, just create an image object in JavaScript, set the src
, and wait for the load event before drawing.
Working Example:
var c = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx = c.getContext("2d");
var img = new Image();
img.onload = function() {
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
};
img.src = 'https://cdn.sstatic.net/stackexchange/img/logos/so/so-icon.png';
<canvas id="myCanvas"></canvas>
Easy as this...
var img=new Image();
img.onload=start;
img.src="myImage.png";
function start(){
ctx.drawImage(img,0,0);
}
