Pointer Events Paint Users nowadays use different input methods, cross-platform apps should cover all of them Pointer Events offer an abstract interface to catch all input methods (pointerdown, pointermove, pointerup) event.offsetX/event.offsetY contain the pointer’s position relative to the listener Produktivitäts-PWAs auf Desktopniveau Angular meets Project Fugu

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

Pointer Events Add event listeners (app.component.html and app.component.ts): onPointerMove(canvas: HTMLCanvasElement, event: PointerEvent): void { this.context.fillRect(~~event.offsetX, ~~event.offsetY, 2, 2); } Paint EX #4 Produktivitäts-PWAs auf Desktopniveau Angular meets Project Fugu

Bresenham Line Algorithm The user may move faster than the input can be processed For this case, we need to remember the previous point and interpolate the points in between The Bresenham line algorithm calculates the missing pixels between two given points Paint Produktivitäts-PWAs auf Desktopniveau Angular meets Project Fugu

Bresenham Line Algorithm Update the method onPointerMove() in app.component.ts: if (this.previousPoint) { const currentPoint = {x: Math.floor(event.offsetX), y: Math.floor(event.offsetY)}; const points = this.paintService.bresenhamLine(this.previousPoint.x, this.previousPoint.y, currentPoint.x, currentPoint.y); for (const {x, y} of points) { this.context.fillRect(x, y, 2, 2); this.previousPoint = currentPoint; } } Paint EX #5 Produktivitäts-PWAs auf Desktopniveau Angular meets Project Fugu

Color Selection For this demo, we will only implement the brush tool. However, we want to bring in some color. A simple method to implement a color selection is to use the HTML color-type input element that shows the native color picker: Paint Produktivitäts-PWAs auf Desktopniveau Angular meets Project Fugu
