Since RGB needs a cube to display all colors, there are several more ways to display all colors. I would like the circle to display all the colors in the rainbow in full color - and when I click on the display of all the different brightnesses for the selected color, there was little 2D space in it.
I want to generate something similar to this image using canvas:

My attempt:
JavaScript:
function ColorPicker(element) {
this.element = element;
this.init = function() {
var diameter = this.element.offsetWidth;
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.height = diameter;
canvas.width = diameter,
this.canvas = canvas;
this.renderColorMap();
element.appendChild(canvas);
this.setupBindings();
};
this.renderColorMap = function() {
var canvas = this.canvas;
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var radius = canvas.width / 2;
var toRad = (2 * Math.PI) / 360;
var step = 1 / radius;
ctx.clearRect(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
for(var i = 0; i < 360; i += step) {
var rad = i * toRad;
ctx.strokeStyle = 'hsl(' + i + ', 100%, 50%)';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(radius, radius);
ctx.lineTo(radius + radius * Math.cos(rad), radius + radius * Math.sin(rad));
ctx.stroke();
}
ctx.fillStyle = 'rgb(255, 255, 255)';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(radius, radius, radius * 0.8, 0, Math.PI * 2, true);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
};
this.renderMouseCircle = function(x, y) {
var canvas = this.canvas;
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgb(255, 255, 255)';
ctx.lineWidth = '2';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(x, y, 10, 0, Math.PI * 2, true);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.stroke();
};
this.setupBindings = function() {
var canvas = this.canvas;
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var self = this;
canvas.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
var x = e.offsetX || e.clientX - this.offsetLeft;
var y = e.offsetY || e.clientY - this.offsetTop;
var imgData = ctx.getImageData(x, y, 1, 1).data;
var selectedColor = new Color(imgData[0], imgData[1], imgData[2]);
self.renderMouseCircle(x, y);
}, false);
};
this.init();
}
new ColorPicker(document.querySelector('.color-space'));

I find it difficult to determine how to generate this square in the middle. Basically, I want the color in the lower left corner to be the same as the one in the ring - which I selected by clicking.
How can I generate this type of gradient square?
