AlphaMapFilter Class

Extends Filter
Defined in: AlphaMapFilter:41
Module: EaselJS

Applies a greyscale alpha map image (or canvas) to the target, such that the alpha channel of the result will be copied from the red channel of the map, and the RGB channels will be copied from the target.

Generally, it is recommended that you use AlphaMaskFilter, because it has much better performance.

Example

This example draws a red->blue box, caches it, and then uses the cache canvas as an alpha map on a 100x100 image.

  var box = new createjs.Shape();
  box.graphics.beginLinearGradientFill(["#ff0000", "#0000ff"], [0, 1], 0, 0, 0, 100)
  box.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100, 100);
  box.cache(0, 0, 100, 100);

  var bmp = new createjs.Bitmap("path/to/image.jpg");
  bmp.filters = [
      new createjs.AlphaMapFilter(box.cacheCanvas)
  ];
  bmp.cache(0, 0, 100, 100);
  stage.addChild(bmp);

See Filter for more information on applying filters.

Constructor

AlphaMapFilter

(
  • alphaMap
)

Defined in AlphaMapFilter:41

Parameters:

  • alphaMap Image | HTMLCanvasElement

    The greyscale image (or canvas) to use as the alpha value for the result. This should be exactly the same dimensions as the target.

Methods

_applyFilter

(
  • imageData
)
Boolean

Inherited from Filter: _applyFilter:148

Parameters:

  • imageData ImageData

    Target ImageData instance.

Returns:

Boolean:

_prepAlphaMap

() protected

Defined in _prepAlphaMap:133

applyFilter

(
  • ctx
  • x
  • y
  • width
  • height
  • [targetCtx]
  • [targetX]
  • [targetY]
)
Boolean

Inherited from Filter: applyFilter:99

Applies the filter to the specified context.

Parameters:

  • ctx CanvasRenderingContext2D

    The 2D context to use as the source.

  • x Number

    The x position to use for the source rect.

  • y Number

    The y position to use for the source rect.

  • width Number

    The width to use for the source rect.

  • height Number

    The height to use for the source rect.

  • [targetCtx] CanvasRenderingContext2D optional

    The 2D context to draw the result to. Defaults to the context passed to ctx.

  • [targetX] Number optional

    The x position to draw the result to. Defaults to the value passed to x.

  • [targetY] Number optional

    The y position to draw the result to. Defaults to the value passed to y.

Returns:

Boolean:

If the filter was applied successfully.

clone

() Filter

Inherited from Filter: clone:138

Returns a clone of this Filter instance.

Returns:

Filter:

A clone of the current Filter instance.

getBounds

(
  • [rect]
)
Rectangle

Inherited from Filter: getBounds:89

Provides padding values for this filter. That is, how much the filter will extend the visual bounds of an object it is applied to.

Parameters:

  • [rect] Rectangle optional

    If specified, the provided Rectangle instance will be expanded by the padding amounts and returned.

Returns:

Rectangle:

If a rect param was provided, it is returned. If not, either a new rectangle with the padding values, or null if no padding is required for this filter.

initialize

() deprecated protected

Inherited from Filter: initialize:74

REMOVED. Removed in favor of using MySuperClass_constructor. See extend and promote for details.

There is an inheritance tutorial distributed with EaselJS in /tutorials/Inheritance.

toString

() String

Inherited from Filter: toString:129

Returns a string representation of this object.

Returns:

String:

a string representation of the instance.
