Dynamic canvas to pass into hydra-synth #285

witfyl-ravped · 2023-09-24T21:39:24Z

Hey there. I want to make a simple HTML viewer page but am having trouble getting the canvas to dynamically resize to the width/height of the browser.

I ran into the issue of low image quality when using CSS to dynamically size the canvas. In React it's easy enough to use {window.innerHeight} etc. so I figured I would embed a JS script to listen and edit the canvas tag (see full code below).

However I encounter the following error whenever I use JS to either create or modify the canvas tag:

hydra-synth:3103 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'clear') at HydraRenderer._initRegl (hydra-synth:3103:15) at new HydraRenderer (hydra-synth:2934:10) at index.html:41:19

I checked the lines given in the error but I can't figure out why they get thrown when the canvas element is modified by JS.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on this issue, full code modified from Hydra inside a webpage below. Thanks!

Update: Got the results I was looking for by passing in custom width and height and having hydra-synth.js create my canvas for me like so:

      var hydra = new Hydra({
        width: 1280,
        height: 1280,
        detectAudio: false
      })
