AlphaMaskFilter Class

Extends Filter
Defined in: AlphaMaskFilter:41
Module: EaselJS

Applies the alpha from the mask image (or canvas) to the target, such that the alpha channel of the result will be derived from the mask, and the RGB channels will be copied from the target. This can be used, for example, to apply an alpha mask to a display object. This can also be used to combine a JPG compressed RGB image with a PNG32 alpha mask, which can result in a much smaller file size than a single PNG32 containing ARGB.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This filter currently does not support the targetCtx, or targetX/Y parameters correctly.

Example

This example draws a gradient box, then caches it and uses the "cacheCanvas" as the alpha mask on a 100x100 image.

 var box = new createjs.Shape();
 box.graphics.beginLinearGradientFill(["#000000", "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"], [0, 1], 0, 0, 100, 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.AlphaMaskFilter(box.cacheCanvas)
 ];
 bmp.cache(0, 0, 100, 100);

AlphaMaskFilter

(
  • mask
)

Defined in AlphaMaskFilter:41

Parameters:

  • mask HTMLImageElement | HTMLCanvasElement

Methods

(
  • imageData
)
Boolean

Inherited from Filter: _applyFilter:179

Parameters:

  • imageData ImageData

    Target ImageData instance.

Returns:

applyFilter

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

Inherited from Filter but overwritten in applyFilter:115

Applies the filter to the specified context.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This filter currently does not support the targetCtx, or targetX/Y parameters correctly.

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

    NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS FILTER. The 2D context to draw the result to. Defaults to the context passed to ctx.

  • [targetX] Number optional

    NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS FILTER. The x position to draw the result to. Defaults to the value passed to x.

  • [targetY] Number optional

    NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS FILTER. 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:169

Returns a clone of this Filter instance.

Returns:

Filter:

A clone of the current Filter instance.

getBounds

(
  • [rect]
)
Rectangle

Inherited from Filter: getBounds:111

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.

shaderParamSetup

(
  • gl
  • stage
  • shaderProgram
)

Inherited from Filter: shaderParamSetup:121

Assign any unique uniforms or other setup functionality here.

Parameters:

  • gl WebGLContext

    The context associated with the stage performing the render.

  • stage StageGL

    The stage instance that will be rendering.

  • shaderProgram ShaderProgram

    The compiled shader that is going to be used to perform the render.

toString

() String

Inherited from Filter: toString:160

Returns a string representation of this object.

Returns:

String:

a string representation of the instance.

Properties

_multiPass

Filter private

Inherited from Filter: _multiPass:79

Another filter that is required to act as part of this filter and created and managed under the hood.

Default: null

FRAG_SHADER

String readonly

Inherited from Filter: FRAG_SHADER:98

Pre-processed template shader code. It will be parsed before being fed in into the shader compiler. This should be based upon StageGL.SHADER_FRAGMENT_BODY_REGULAR

mask

HTMLImageElement | HTMLCanvasElement

Defined in mask:73

The image (or canvas) to use as the mask.

usesContext

Boolean

Inherited from Filter: usesContext:71

A flag stating that this filter uses a context draw mode and cannot be batched into imageData processing.

Default: false

VTX_SHADER

String readonly

Inherited from Filter: VTX_SHADER:88

Pre-processed template shader code. It will be parsed before being fed in into the shader compiler. This should be based upon StageGL.SHADER_VERTEX_BODY_REGULAR
