Extract with smooth edges

[lokhmakov]

Hello,

Is there way to extract webgl canvas to image with smooth edges?

https://codesandbox.io/s/r54q7365yq

import "./styles.css";

import * as PIXI from "pixi.js";
import * as Viewport from "pixi-viewport";

const app = new PIXI.Application(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight, {
  antialias: true,
  resolution: 1,
  backgroundColor: "gray",
  view: document.getElementById("app-canvas")
});

const texture = PIXI.Texture.from("/public/bg.jpg");
const sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
app.stage.addChild(sprite);

const sampleTexture = new PIXI.Texture.from("public/wall.png");
const sample = new PIXI.Sprite(sampleTexture);
sample.x = 100;
sample.y = 100;
sample.width = 300;
sample.height = 300;

const mask = new PIXI.Graphics();
mask.beginFill(0xffffff);
mask.drawCircle(window.innerWidth / 2, window.innerWidth / 2, 100);
mask.endFill();

sample.mask = mask;

app.stage.addChild(sample);

// download canvas
const downloadBtn = document.getElementById("download-btn");
downloadBtn.addEventListener("click", e => {
  const imageUrl = app.renderer.plugins.extract.base64(app.stage);
  let link = document.createElement("a");
  link.href = imageUrl;
  link.download = "picture.png";
  link.style.display = "none";
  document.body.appendChild(link);
  link.click();
  link.parentNode.removeChild(link);
});

yeah, dont pass anything to base64() and it'll take image from the screen framebuffer that has AA enabled.

The problem is that you can take it only immidiately after app.render() because of special cases regarding browsers.

I'm afraid that full answer on that will take 30 minutes from me and i dont have that time. Please read the extract plugin code in pixijs github if what i said is not enough.

Thanks.

Next solution works fine:

downloadBtn.addEventListener("click", e => {
  app.render();
  const imageUrl = app.renderer.plugins.extract.base64();
  let link = document.createElement("a");
  link.href = imageUrl;
  link.download = "picture.png";
  link.style.display = "none";
  document.body.appendChild(link);
  link.click();
  link.parentNode.removeChild(link);
});
