Question

In IE, I can use:

<img src="http://example.com/image.png" style="filter:FlipH">

to implement an image flip horizontally.

Is there any way to flip horizontally in HTML5? (maybe by using canvas?)

thanks all 🙂

Answer 1

canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvasContext = canvas.getContext('2d');

canvasContext.translate(width, 0);
canvasContext.scale(-1, 1);
canvasContext.drawImage(image, 0, 0);

Here’s a snippet from a sprite object being used for testing and it produces the results you seem to expect.
