Momoflow

Momoflow, by Alexander Presber, is a canvas coverflow implementation using jQuery.

After playing around with the YUI Coverflow canvas demo, Alexander felt it was rather overengineered; difficult to tweek and had some performance issues – so what better way to improve the demo than to create your own?

Coverflow with jQuery

To help increase the speed of the demo, Momoflow caches each image and it’s reflection on to an intermediate canvas, perspectively transforming this onto another canvas for each rendering angle.

Very nice! It seems to me that for best results, all images should have the same (or almost the same) height and width.

I was looking for cover flow with a slider. Finally found it :-) I’m very happy… Thanks for sharing!

Best coverflow here on this site. I like it much.

But there is a problem with the flections:
If a pics height is less than 50% of its width, the reflection-gradient is upside down.

I think, this just needs a little modification.
Does anyone know how to solve this???

Samuel-

This probably isn’t the right way to fix this problem, but I solved it by essentially swapping lines 218 and 219, replace these lines to read like this:


grad.addColorStop(1, 'rgba(0, 0, 0, '+(1-reflectivity)+')');
grad.addColorStop(0, 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)');

and it worked for me.

I think you can also get it to work by tweeking the values in

var reflectionRatio = 0.3;
var reflectivity = 0.2;
