HTML5 Canvas Solarize filter Image Tutorial

To apply filter to an Konva.Image, we have to cache it first with cache() function. Then apply filter with filters() function.

To apply a solarize effect to an image with Konva, we can use the Konva.Filters.Solarize.

Instructions: Slide the control to change threshold value.

For all available filters go to Filters Documentation.

import Konva from 'konva';

const stage = new Konva.Stage({
  container: 'container',
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight,
});

const layer = new Konva.Layer();
stage.add(layer);

const imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.onload = () => {
  const image = new Konva.Image({
    x: 50,
    y: 50,
    image: imageObj,
    draggable: true,
  });

  layer.add(image);

  image.cache();
  image.filters([Konva.Filters.Solarize]);
  image.threshold(0.5);

  // create slider
  const container = document.createElement('div');
  container.style.position = 'absolute';
  container.style.top = '20px';
  container.style.left = '20px';
  
  const text = document.createElement('span');
  text.textContent = 'Threshold: ';
  container.appendChild(text);
  
  const slider = document.createElement('input');
  slider.type = 'range';
  slider.min = '0';
  slider.max = '1';
  slider.step = '0.01';
  slider.value = image.threshold();
  slider.style.width = '200px';
  
  slider.addEventListener('input', (e) => {
    const value = parseFloat(e.target.value);
    image.threshold(value);
    layer.batchDraw();
  });
  
  container.appendChild(slider);
  document.body.appendChild(container);
};
imageObj.src = '/images/lion.png';
