I've designed a web page that includes two canvas elements stacked on top of each other. The purpose of this setup is to allow me to "erase" the top canvas and reveal an image loaded into the bottom canvas. So far, this functionality has been working perfectly.
Now, my goal is to trigger an event once the top canvas has been completely "erased," meaning that all of the pixels in the top context are transparent. I've searched for solutions on Stack Overflow and found methods using getImageData to check a specific pixel's alpha value. However, I'm struggling to find a way to determine when the very last pixel's alpha value equals 0.
Included below is my code, along with an unfinished attempt to achieve this using a for-loop and if statement. I have also encountered another issue where using getImageData results in a thin grey border appearing around two edges of my canvas.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!
window.onload = function() {
//Move speaker image across page
var speaker = document.getElementById('speaker');
speaker.onload = MoveElement(speaker, "right", 1000);
//Create canvases & contexts
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctxB = canvas.getContext('2d');
var canvas2 = document.getElementById('canvas2');
var ctxT = canvas2.getContext('2d');
//Get waterfall image object
var waterfall = document.getElementById('waterfall');
//Set canvas w&h properties
canvas.width = canvas2.width = .3*waterfall.width;
canvas.height = canvas2.height = .3*waterfall.height;
//Populate Bottom canvas with waterfall image
ctxB.drawImage(waterfall, 0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
//Populate Top canvas with white rectangle
ctxT.fillStyle = "white";
ctxT.fillRect(0, 0, canvas2.width, canvas2.height);
//Make Top canvas "erasable"
canvas2.addEventListener('mousemove', event => {
var x = event.offsetX;
var y = event.offsetY;
const eraseSize = 125;
ctxT.clearRect(x-eraseSize/2, y-eraseSize/2, eraseSize, eraseSize);
})
//Attempt to trigger an event when all pixels of top canvas have alpha = 0
var imageDataTop = ctxT.getImageData(0, 0, canvas2.width, canvas2.height);
console.log(imageDataTop);
for (var i = 0; i < imageDataTop; i++) {
if (imageDataTop.data[i] = 0) {
//
}
}
}

//Adjust for backwards direction

totalDistance *= -1;
