JavaScript: create an analogue clock with canvas
Do you like this story?
There's an interesting example buried in the MDM HTML5 pages, where we can create an analogue clock with JavaScript and <canvas>.
There's not much to say about it. What is interesting for us, is the way the clock is actually drawn.
The blue circle, hours and minutes marks are created using JavaScript, and the same logic is used to draw the hours, minutes and seconds arms.
All the static and moving parts of the clock are inserted into a <canvas> tag using getElementById. If the browser is not recognizing the HTML5 tag, it will only show a warning.
You can get the code from the MDM page, or copy it from here:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function init(){
clock();
setInterval(clock,1000);
}
function clock(){
var now = new Date();
var ctx = document.getElementById('canvas').getContext('2d');
ctx.save();
ctx.clearRect(0,0,150,150);
ctx.translate(75,75);
ctx.scale(0.4,0.4);
ctx.rotate(-Math.PI/2);
ctx.strokeStyle = "black";
ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.lineWidth = 8;
ctx.lineCap = "round";
// Hour marks
ctx.save();
for (var i=0;i<12;i++){
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.rotate(Math.PI/6);
ctx.moveTo(100,0);
ctx.lineTo(120,0);
ctx.stroke();
}
ctx.restore();
// Minute marks
ctx.save();
ctx.lineWidth = 5;
for (i=0;i<60;i++){
if (i%5!=0) {
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(117,0);
ctx.lineTo(120,0);
ctx.stroke();
}
ctx.rotate(Math.PI/30);
}
ctx.restore();
var sec = now.getSeconds();
var min = now.getMinutes();
var hr = now.getHours();
hr = hr>=12 ? hr-12 : hr;
ctx.fillStyle = "black";
// write Hours
ctx.save();
ctx.rotate( hr*(Math.PI/6) + (Math.PI/360)*min + (Math.PI/21600)*sec )
ctx.lineWidth = 14;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(-20,0);
ctx.lineTo(80,0);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
// write Minutes
ctx.save();
ctx.rotate( (Math.PI/30)*min + (Math.PI/1800)*sec )
ctx.lineWidth = 10;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(-28,0);
ctx.lineTo(112,0);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
// Write seconds
ctx.save();
ctx.rotate(sec * Math.PI/30);
ctx.strokeStyle = "#D40000";
ctx.fillStyle = "#D40000";
ctx.lineWidth = 6;
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(-30,0);
ctx.lineTo(83,0);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(0,0,10,0,Math.PI*2,true);
ctx.fill();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(95,0,10,0,Math.PI*2,true);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.fillStyle = "#555";
ctx.arc(0,0,3,0,Math.PI*2,true);
ctx.fill();
ctx.restore();
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.lineWidth = 14;
ctx.strokeStyle = '#325FA2';
ctx.arc(0,0,142,0,Math.PI*2,true);
ctx.stroke();
ctx.restore();
}
</script>The <body> tag should be changed to:
<body onload="init();"><canvas id="canvas">The canvas is not supported by your browser</canvas>
