canvas保存为data:image扩展功能的实现

【已知】
canvas提供了toDataURL的接口，可以方便的将canvas画布转化成base64编码的image。目前支持的最好的是png格式，jpeg格式的现代浏览器基本也支持，但是支持的不是很好。

【想要的】
往往这么简单直接的接口通常都满足不了需求。我想要的不仅是简单的通过画布生成一个png，我不想新开一个tab，然后还要右键另存为...

我还需要更方便的自由的配置生成的图片的大小，比例等。

另外如果我还要别的图片格式，比如位图bmp，gif等怎么办...

【解决办法】
a)想直接把图片生成后download到本地，其实办法也很简单。直接改图片的mimeType，强制改成steam流类型的。比如‘image/octet-stream’，浏览器就会自动帮我们另存为.. 

b)图片大小，及比例的可控倒也好办，我们新建一个我们想要大小的canvas，把之前的canvas画布重新按照所要的比例，及大小draw到新的canvas上，然后用新的canvas来toDataURL即可。

c)想要bmp位图会麻烦些... 没有直接的接口，需要我们自己来生成。生成图片的响应头和响应体有一定的规则，略显麻烦。不过还能接受。剩下的就是性能问题，按像素级别来操作，对于一个大图来说计算量很有压力。

【Demo】

可以试着在canvas上涂涂画画，然后保存看看。如果用bmp格式的话，需要支持 btoa 的base64编码，关于base64编码规则可看上一篇博文

【不完美的地方】
1）jpeg接口本身就不完善，当canvas没有填充颜色或图片时，保存的jpeg由于是直接由png的alpha通道强制转换过来的，所以在png的透明部分在jpeg里面就是黑色的。

2）gif的限制太多。且可用性不大，有png就够了

3）bmp位图生成，计算量稍显大了。

4）由于是强制改mimeType来实现的自动下载，所以下载的时候文件类型不会自动识别。
 

 

html5 的 <a> 有 download属性

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

var a = document.createElement('a'); a.download = '我是文件名' + _suffix; a.href = _canvas.toDataURL(); a.click();   _suffix表示图片后缀 _canvas canvas对象
