creates a tinted copy of a given HTML Image
NPM users: please consider theGithub README for the latest description of this package (as updating the docs would otherwise always require a new NPM package version)
Just a small note: if you like this module and plan to use it, consider "starring" this repository (you will find the "Star" button on the top right of this page), so that I know which of my repositories to take most care of.
tinted-bitmap may be used as an ECMAScript module (ESM), a CommonJS or AMD module or from a global variable.
You may either install the package into your build environment usingNPM with the command
npm install tinted-bitmapor load the plain script file directly (Browsers automatically get the bundled version, thus, the module's dependencyjavascript-interface-library does not have to be loaded separately)
<scriptsrc="https://unpkg.com/tinted-bitmap"></script>
How to access the package depends on the type of module you prefer
- ESM (or Svelte):
import { tintedBitmap, tintedBitmapAsURL } from 'tinted-bitmap' - CommonJS:
const tintedBitmap = require('tinted-bitmap') - AMD:
require(['tinted-bitmap'], (tintedBitmap) => {...})
Alternatively, you may access the global variabletintedBitmap directly.
Note for ECMAScript module users: all module functions and values are exported individually, thus allowing your bundler to perform some "tree-shaking" in order to include actually used functions or values (together with their dependencies) only.
For Svelte it is recommended to import the package within a module context:
<scriptcontext="module">import{tintedBitmapAsURL}from'tinted-bitmap'</script><script>letoriginalImage,tintedImageURLfunctiontintOriginalImage(){tintedImageURL=tintedBitmapAsURL(originalImage,'limegreen')} $:if(originalImage!=null){if(originalImage.complete){tintOriginalImage()}else{originalImage.addEventListener('load',tintOriginalImage)}}</script><imgbind:this={originalImage}style="vertical-align:middle"alt="original"src="..."/> ➔ <imgstyle="vertical-align:middle"src={tintedImageURL}alt="tinted"/>
You will find this example in aSvelte REPL - feel free to play with it!
If you prefer ESMs, you will presumably also use a bundler (such asrollup orwebpack) to resolve any transitive dependencies and perform some "tree-shaking" to eliminate unnecessary parts (tinted-bitmap is fully tree-shakable). In this case, just import what you need and use it - your bundler will do the rest:
<script>import{tintedBitmapAsURL}from'tinted-bitmap'window.onload=function(){letoriginalImage=document.getElementById('originalImage')lettintedImage=document.getElementById('tintedImage')tintedImage.src=tintedBitmapAsURL(originalImage,'limegreen')}</script><body><imgid="originalImage"style="vertical-align:middle"src="..."/><imgid="tintedImage"style="vertical-align:middle"/></body>
Let's assume that you already "required" or "imported" (or simply loaded) the module according to your local environment. In that case, you may use it as follows:
<script>const{ tintedBitmapAsURL}=tintedBitmapwindow.onload=function(){letoriginalImage=document.getElementById('originalImage')lettintedImage=document.getElementById('tintedImage')tintedImage.src=tintedBitmapAsURL(originalImage,'limegreen')}</script><body><imgid="originalImage"style="vertical-align:middle"src="..."/><imgid="tintedImage"style="vertical-align:middle"/></body>
An example is available on the Svelte REPL - feel free to play with it!
Sometimes it is necessary to draw a given (often b/w) raster image in a different color.tinted-bitmap performs the necessary "tinting" of such a bitmap and may construct either the data URL for the result (which is often preferred as it may be directly assigned to thesrc attribute of a given HTML image element) or the result itself (as an instance ofHTMLImageElement)
This package offers the following named JavaScript exports (function signatures are given with TypeScript type annotations, JavaScript programmers may just ignore them):
tintedBitmap (Bitmap:HTMLImageElement, TintColor:string):HTMLImageElementtintedBitmaptakes a given HTML image element "Bitmap" (which must becomplete, i.e. fully loaded), uses its alpha channel to create another image in the givenTintColor(which must be a valid CSS color specification) and returns that image as anHTMLImageElementtintedBitmapAsURL (Bitmap:HTMLImageElement, TintColor:string):stringtintedBitmapAsURLtakes a given HTML image element "Bitmap" (which must becomplete, i.e. fully loaded) and uses its alpha channel to create another image in the givenTintColor(which must be a valid CSS color specification). The contents of that bitmap are returned as a data URL
