The CSS “border” emphasis of the previous Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Canvas Annotation Tutorial has concepts, we see online, confusing people, and myself, regarding what the CSS “outline” feature is capable of (or not capable of). Here is W3school‘s pertinent paragraph on this …

Note: Outline differs from borders! The outline is drawn outside the element’s border, and may overlap other content. Also, the outline is NOT a part of the element’s dimensions; the element’s total width and height is not affected by the width of the outline.

The CSS “outline” concept is not the panacea to as many web design requirements as the “border” concept is. For instance, even seeing within the purview of making our “proof of concept” web application …

• no linear gradients can be worked in the “outline” realm
• no such properties as “outline-top” or “outline-left” or “outline-bottom” or “outline-right” exist within the “outline” realm
• no such property as “outline-radius”
• no outline images in the “outline” realm

If we were to summarize, the CSS “outline” concept’s talents can lie with …

• being around an HTML element (and not part of it … perhaps in web design, useful as “a place of rest” (including non-mobile on hover element title displays) for users?!)
• decorative colour around an HTML element (perhaps to get the user’s attention to hone in on that element, or perhaps a dynamic conduit towards “thickening” an existant HTML element border (especially as Javascript DOM such as [element].style.outline=’2px solid green’; // is available to programmers))
• can form a replacement nesting HTML element background colour means
• in it’s simplest CSS syntax ( eg: outline: 2px solid green; ) can be easily remembered next to the simplest syntax of border (probably very familiar to you) CSS syntax ( eg: border: 2px solid green; ) … just differently located on the webpage

We’ve been shy to use “outline” CSS and so it is as much for our learning as well that, today, we present a CSS “outline proof of concept” then “nuanced for greater user interaction” outline_css.html web application …

Up to now with the SVG -> IMG -> CANVAS parent web application to our newish PHP tool child of Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Curl Tutorial we have tried to keep …

• SVG
• IMG
• CANVAS

… contents in synch as far as looks go. That ignores the reason CANVAS (element) was invented when HTML5 came out. It was invented to not only contain image graphical data, but be able to amend that data. So we also allow it with our web application from today on, integrating with our inhouse “User of Signature” web application last talked about at Local Fonts Revisited Middle Tutorial, to amend (initially image via [canvas].toDataURL(‘image/png’) via SVG streams of data which may include emoji borders and backgrounds) graphical data.

We integrate via a same domain window.open scenario. Before you all start groaning, consider the advantages of a …


uoss=window.open('../HTMLCSS/user_of_signature_signature.htm' + chash,'_blank','top=20,left=20,width=' + eval(0.9 * eval('' + screen.width)) + ',height=' + eval(0.8 * eval('' + screen.height)) + '');


… albeit non-mobile window.open (ie. popup window) call. Not only are you …

• (on non-mobile) seeing two windows on top of each other … but …
• the “window.opener” (acting like “parent” does for an “iframe” arrangement) reference can have you, via Javascript DOM, share the data of the popup window canvas element with that of the “window.opener” (window) canvas element

… and then, we arrange for a “reset” (to ignore these annotation changes), via the “middle-element” IMG element, should the “Undo” functionality of our HTML changed user_of_signature_signature.html‘s User of Signature Signature (standalone) live run not be enough flexibility to the functionality, which has a new document.body onload event triggering of Javascript function cancontlook below …


var cancont='';
var cancontw=-1, canconth=-1;

if (('' + window.opener).replace('null','') != '') {
var cans=window.opener.document.getElementsByTagName('canvas');

}

function cancontlook() {

Previous relevant Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Curl Tutorial is shown below.

We find curl to be that interesting PHP “mode of use” hybrid of the involvement of …

• HTTP protocol URLs
• command line
• interface to PHP exec

… that might help you “look back at yourself from outside” as we use it to interface to Google PageSpeed Insights webpage screenshot functionality (which can look at a designated URL and effectively screenshot it for you) … thanks.

The URL “GET” argument restriction of “only ?” first argument_s, as with yesterday’s Emoji Borders and Backgrounds QR Code Tutorial, comes into play interfacing to Google PageSpeed Insights webpage screenshot functionality.

We used to restrict our curl usage thinking to “only ?” first argument use too, arguing (with ourselves) that the Linux and Unix and macOS and Mac OS X “&” character command line meaning of “process in the background” would be a constraint. Of course it isn’t, because … anyone, anyone? Yes, Henry, you should use a “curl” command line command, using double quotes, of the form …


curl "https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/PHP/canvas_svg.php?emoji=128248&iurl=two.jpg%23circle&css=opacity%3A0.9%3Bfont-size%3A20px%3B&textcss=text-shadow%3A%20-2px%202px%203px%20%23ff2d95%3B&ultext=Hello%250AThere"


… and the “&”^‘_s are understood to be URL “GET” argument delimiters, and not a “process in the background” designator.

And here’s the thing exemplified above. The alternative file_get_contents PHP function cannot do that https: protocol type of URL, yet Google PageSpeed Insights webpage screenshot functionality demands such URLs … hence the “curl” interest.

Previous relevant Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Web Browser Tutorial is shown below.

Yesterday’s Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Shape Sharing Tutorial had us sharing via email or SMS our “Emoji Borders and Backgrounds” creations via inhouse organized arrangements. But many people are used to just right-clicking (for Windows) and two finger gesturing (for macOS and Mac OS X) on …

• SVG
• IMG
• CANVAS

… graphical elements, which can be made to “look” the same, and sort of “suck it and see” as far as menu options presented, helping them out sharing graphical information. In many cases, users don’t care what form of element the image comes contained in. But, if you involve “background-image” CSS along the way to achieve a (consistent) “look”, as we had done before today, (some of) the output of those menu options could be lacking (because they look for “foreground data”), and so we do away with the need for a “background-image” …

<?php


function ctoilater() {
img.src=canvas.toDataURL('data/png');
}


if ((iurl != '' && document.URL.indexOf('noimage') == -1) && emoji != '') {
//imgs[0].style.background='URL("' + iurl + '")';
//canvases[0].style.background='URL("' + iurl + '")';
if (emoji != '') {
imgs[0].style.backgroundPosition='20px 20px';
}
imgs[0].style.backgroundRepeat='no-repeat';
canvases[0].style.backgroundRepeat='no-repeat';


var newimg=document.createElement('img');
newimg.onload = function() {
// draw the image onto the canvas
if (document.URL.indexOf('emoji=') != -1) {
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(newimg, 20, 20);
} else {
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(newimg, 0, 0);
}
setTimeout(ctoilater, 3000);
}
newimg.src = iurl;

}

?>

… look on the IMG and CANVAS element usage (as above) and use the great way a …

• CANVAS can contain merged image data … and a …
• CANVAS can convert back to an image data URI

… to mean IMG and CANVAS can end up united in a “real image data” look and content, via SVG that can be made up of …

• emoji TEXT
• user TEXT
• user IMAGE (like IMG)
• user shapes CIRCLE and/or ELLIPSE and/or RECT and/or LINE and/or POLYLINE and/or POLYGON … and inhouse NOIMAGE

… (SVG) “streams” of graphical data.

We also needed to cater for that inhouse “NOIMAGE” shape lack of IMAGE data in our changed PHP canvas_svg.php SVG -> IMG -> CANVAS live run web application.

Did you know?

An example of how having web browser (right-clicking (for Windows) and two finger gesturing (for macOS and Mac OS X)) menu options be useful, consider an image menu option such as “Copy image” be used by the user. The user can compose their own (email client (or get to email client via all uppercase web application “to” email “address” definition)) email then, and just Edit -> Paste the results, as an image, into the email body, ahead of sending off that email.

Previous relevant Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Shape Numerics Tutorial is shown below.

If you are familiar with the geometry of shapes, it is full of numbers, with the implications as to how the shape is represented and displayed, that those numbers can affect. And so, onto yesterday’s Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Shapes Tutorial‘s start with …

• SVG circle element
• SVG rect element … shapes yesterday, we add …
• SVG ellipse element functionality today … and for all these, as well as the …
• SVG text element we start allowing “shape numerics” as being a user definable thaing

These “shape numerics” can help the user control (that SVG element’s) …

• position
• size
• opacity
• font size … (for text elements) on top of that non-numeric control yesterday’s work gave us, being (that SVG element’s fill) …
• colour

This is all handled, still, within that “image” argument definition, and we allow a decimal (ie. “.”) delimiter be the way a user separates their integer values (where an opacity value becomes “0.” + [integerValue]).

Previous relevant Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Shapes Tutorial is shown below.

Onto yesterday’s Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Text Justification Tutorial we add some consideration of SVG shape creations into the mix of the Emoji Borders and Backgrounds work, starting just with the PHP tool, at this stage, and just considering …

• SVG circle element
• SVG rect element

… to start off with, and feeding off yesterday’s …

• width=[designatedPxWidth] and height=[designatedPxHeight] … and/or …
• image=[someImageUrl] (width and height)

… breakdown as to how a user can define a box of interest, as a great “line in the sand” for us to work around with this new “Shapes functionality”. It’s an interfacing job, for tomorrow, getting parents to work with this “image” argument based way a user can define these shapes, including a “noimage” option that uses an image’s width and height (to help out with the shape definition) but does not display that image.

Along the way we also mildly rearrange PHP code for inline_svg.php‘s live run so as to allow for more than one user text to be added via justification prefixing methodologies.

Previous relevant Emoji Borders and Backgrounds CSS Styling Tutorial is shown below.

It was some time ago now that we said …

… via a new “text” argument arranged for the PHP and in readiness for some more aesthetic improvements in the display side of things with our emoji borders and backgrounds

Well, what gives? Eh, wot’s up ‘guv? Yes, indeed … all we can say is …

We got sidetracted.

… and applying spell checker to get around an expression that amuses us …

We got sidetracked.

So, “being ‘guv” … eh, wot … today we’re having a posting catch up with all the parents and PHP tool child allowing for some CSS styling to be a possibility with the web applications around the theme of “Emoji Borders and Backgrounds”, onto yesterday’s Emoji Borders and Backgrounds in Canvas Tutorial.

And so wotwhat’s the go with styling in SVG “land”? Is SVG classy? It’s not that much different to HTML and CSS, in that “style” elements are allowed, and SVG allows you to define a “class” attribute for SVG elements, so that’s kind of classy … eh, wot, ‘guv?! Thanks to this great link for the heads up on this.

We decided to allow for our changed inline_svg.php PHP tool’s PHP tool live run to understand all arguments coming in whose name ends in CSS …

<?php

$svgmiddle='';

foreach ($_GET as $name=>$val) {
if (strpos(strtolower('' . $name . '~'), 'css~') !== false) {
if ($svgmiddle == '') {
$svgmiddle="
<style type=\"text/css\" >
<![CDATA[
." . strtolower($name) . " { " . str_replace(';;',';',trim(str_replace('+',' ', urldecode($_GET[$name]))) . ';') . " }
]]>
</style>

";
} else {
$svgmiddle=str_replace("<![CDATA[", "<![CDATA[
." . strtolower($name) . " { " . str_replace(';;',';',trim(str_replace('+',' ', urldecode($_GET[$name]))) . ';') . " } ", $svgmiddle);
}
}
}

foreach ($_POST as $name=>$val) {
if (strpos(strtolower('' . $name . '~'), 'css~') !== false) {
if ($svgmiddle == '') {
$svgmiddle="
<style type=\"text/css\" >
<![CDATA[
." . strtolower($name) . " { " . str_replace(';;',';',trim(str_replace('+',' ', urldecode($_POST[$name]))) . ';') . " }

Previous relevant Emoji Borders and Backgrounds in Canvas Tutorial is shown below.

Extending yesterday’s Emoji Borders and Backgrounds in Image Map Grid Tutorial‘s “Emoji Border and Background” horizons, today, we take an interest in three associated HTML “graphic” elements …

• SVG
• IMG
• CANVAS

Can we start with SVG+XML data and get to populate CANVAS data via IMG data via data URIs? Well, not everything works, but enough works to have a lot of what you’d want to do “in this neck of the woods” be possible.

<?php

var svg = document.querySelector('svg');

var canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');

Well, it’s our “second cab off the rank” regarding a parent idea to oversee our current PHP tool idea for Emoji Borders and Backgrounds.

Anything new? Well, yes, quite a big concept too. With our PHP tool, today, we are allowing it, for a PHP parent (today’s changed imagegridmap.php‘s live run), to fill in a …

It meant a division of two “threads” of modus operandi (possible by “overriding” the PHP echo function into an inhouse “ourecho” (wrapper style of) function), now, for our changed inline_svg.php PHP tool’s PHP tool live run …

<?php

$asbkg=false;
$whati='image';

if (isset($_GET['asbackground']) || isset($_POST['asbackground'])) {
$asbkg=true;
$whati='youllneverfindthis';
} else {
header('Content-type: image/svg+xml');
}

// In here are echo"ourecho" codeline calls to construct the SVG+XML

function ourecho($inh) {
global $asbkg;
if ($asbkg) {
echo "data:image/svg+xml;base64," . base64_encode('<svg' . explode('<svg', explode('</svg>', $inh)[0])[1] . '</svg>');
} else {
echo $inh;
}
}

?>

And don’t you just love “the two steptwo thread jive”!

… the functionalities that would be “cool” at the HTML/Javascript/CSS parent side, and then work out how to implement similar functionality, as possible, in SVG, and if possible, we should be able to pass arguments over to the “PHP tool” to eventually code it to be standalone to help other “parenting arrangements”.

… today’s “theme” concerns the first of those other “parenting arrangements” mentioned above, our PHP for Inhouse Slideshow presentation display options …

SlideshowExif SlideshowPDF SlideshowEmoji Border Slideshow

… the new “Emoji Border Slideshow” display option above calling into play our inline_svg.php PHP tool’s live run (“Are we there yet, as a tool, I mean … Mum … Dad … anyone?”) web application.

And in so doing, to use an Emoji Menu methodology of selecting your emoji border decoration is “right up your street, Inhouse Slideshow supervisor”.

You will find, examining the changed PHP code representative “first cab off the rank” and “guinea pig” live run that we introduce a non-existant external Javascript call …


<script type='text/javascript' src='/inhouse_slideshow.js' defer></script>


… into the mix. Why? Well, perhaps, first off, you should read some history of this “Inhouse Slideshow” project over time at Inhouse Slideshow Temporary Unzip Tutorial and then see that this “external Javascript lark” could be better for a way to “future proof” the venture, with some improvements being changeable through one (into your chosen Document Root folder, wherever that may be (that is what the leading “/” infers)) external Javascript codefile rather than a myriad number of identical PHP codefiles.

Previous relevant Emoji Borders and Backgrounds via Emoji Menu Tutorial is shown below.

On this macOS MacBook Air we’re used to …


control-command-space


… bringing up an Emoji Menu from which an emoji can be selected and placed wherever the cursor had been placed before that menu display. That could be …

• on an address bar where the cursor is placed
• in a Javascript prompt window that is focussed

… both scenarios (amongst many others, no doubt) of which we will be interested with our current Emoji Borders and Background web application project. Today’s work develops our PHP tool ahead of its supervisory web application, and so we are interested in the first scenario above, as far as testing it goes with our changed underlying inline_svg.php PHP tool live run web application.

The argument “text” is already catered for from yesterday but the nature of the data this $_GET[‘text’] might contain had not catered for …

• unicode data (via Emoji Menus) … but rather had catered for …
• Javascript call of String.fromCodePoint([comma separated list of HTML Decimal Entity(s)]);

… only, as of yesterday’s Emoji Borders and Backgrounds Image Text PHP SVG Tutorial. As you would probably concur, yesterday’s setup was quite user unfriendly, as so many of us now are used to those Emoji Menus being used to fill in your emoji data requirements.

The main gist of the PHP code changes goes …

<?php

$innards='';
$preinnards='';

function ingp($m) { // thanks to https://pretagteam.com/question/how-do-i-convert-unicode-special-characters-to-html-entities
global $innards, $preinnards;
if ($innards != '') {
$entity = preg_replace_callback('/[\x{80}-\x{10FFFF}]/u', function ($m) {
$char = current($m);
$utf = iconv('UTF-8', 'UCS-4', $char);
return sprintf("&#x%s;", ltrim(strtoupper(bin2hex($utf)), "0"));
}, $innards);
$preinnards=htmlentities($entity);
$innards='';
}
}

// And then later we change ...
if (isset($_GET['insvg'])) {
$innards=str_replace('+','',urldecode($_GET['insvg']));
if (trim(str_replace(',','',str_replace('0','',str_replace('1','',str_replace('2','',str_replace('3','',str_replace('4','',str_replace('5','',str_replace('6','',str_replace('7','',str_replace('8','',str_replace('9','',$innards)))))))))))) != '') {
ingp($innards);
}
if ($preinnards == '') {
$preinnards='&#' . str_replace(',',';&#',$innards) . ';';
}
// rest of if block code uses $preinnards as SVG text innerHTML ... but UTF-16 Surrogate pair scenarios can fail
}
