Pointer event is not working in mobile device, so this is the code with some modification with complete working in Ionic application Or any cross platform application.
setTimeout(example,0); // ensures that the run us after parsing
function example(){
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var w = canvas.width;
var h = canvas.height;
var cw = w / 2; // center
var ch = h / 2;
var selectLayer = CImageCtx(w,h); // creates a canvas
var selectedContent = CImageCtx(w,h); // the selected content
document.getElementById("exampleEle").appendChild(selectedContent);
var image = new Image; // the image
//image.src = "img/temp.png";
image.src ="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e9/Official_portrait_of_Barack_Obama.jpg/220px-Official_portrait_of_Barack_Obama.jpg";

And For View You have to add this 3 lines of html.
<div id="exampleEle">
<canvas id="canvas" width=256 height=256></canvas>
</div>
