HTML5 image crop tool
I have prepared new great HTML5 tool for you (with tutorial). I have made ‘Crop tool’ in html5 (canvas). Now we can crop images at client side too. Now we don`t need to send data (with crop coordinates) back to server as we did in our previous article: ‘Image Crop Plugin – using Jcrop’.
Here are our demo and downloadable package:

Ok, download the source files and lets start coding !
Step 1. HTML
Small code with canvas element and blank image (for future cropped image)
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" >
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>HTML5 image crop tool | Script Tutorials</title>
<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h2>HTML5 image crop tool</h2>
<a href="http://www.script-tutorials.com/html5-image-crop-tool/" class="stuts">Back to original tutorial on <span>Script Tutorials</span></a>
</header>
<div class="container">
<div class="contr">
<button onclick="getResults()">Crop</button>
</div>
<canvas id="panel" width="779" height="519"></canvas>
<div id="results">
<h2>Please make selection for cropping and click 'Crop' button.</h2>
<img id="crop_result" />
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Step 2. CSS
css/main.css
We are going to skip of publishing styles today again (no need).
Step 3. HTML5 JS
js/script.js
// variables
var canvas, ctx;
var image;
var iMouseX, iMouseY = 1;
var theSelection;
// define Selection constructor
function Selection(x, y, w, h){
this.x = x; // initial positions
this.y = y;
this.w = w; // and size
this.h = h;
this.px = x; // extra variables to dragging calculations
this.py = y;
this.csize = 6; // resize cubes size
this.csizeh = 10; // resize cubes size (on hover)
this.bHow = [false, false, false, false]; // hover statuses
this.iCSize = [this.csize, this.csize, this.csize, this.csize]; // resize cubes sizes
this.bDrag = [false, false, false, false]; // drag statuses
this.bDragAll = false; // drag whole selection
}
// define Selection draw method
Selection.prototype.draw = function(){
ctx.strokeStyle = '#000';
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.strokeRect(this.x, this.y, this.w, this.h);
// draw part of original image
if (this.w > 0 && this.h > 0) {
ctx.drawImage(image, this.x, this.y, this.w, this.h, this.x, this.y, this.w, this.h);
}

}
Most of code is already commented. So I will hope that you will understand all this code. If not – you always can ask me any questions.
