In this article, we are going to see how to set the selectable of a Group of the canvas using Fabric.js. The Group in Fabric.js is movable and can be stretched according to requirements. Further, the Group can be customized when it comes to initial stroke color, height, width, fill color, or stroke width.
To make it possible, we are going to use a JavaScript library called Fabric.js. After importing the library, we will create a canvas block in the body tag that will contain the Group. After this, we will initialize instances of Canvas and Group provided by Fabric.js and set the selectability of a canvas Group using the selectable property.
Syntax:
fabric.Group([canvas1, canvas2], {
selectable: Boolean
});
Parameters: This property accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- selectable : It specifies the selectability of a canvas Group. It contains a boolean value.
Below examples illustrate the use of Fabric.js Group selectable property in JavaScript:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <!-- FabricJS CDN --> <script src= </script> </head> <body> <div style="text-align: center;width: 400px;"> <h1 style="color: green;"> neveropen </h1> <b> Fabric.js | Group selectable Property </b> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <canvas id="canvas" width="500" height="300" style="border:1px solid green;"> </canvas> </div> <script> // Initiate a Canvas instance var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas"); // Initiate a circle instance var circle = new fabric.Circle({ radius: 100, fill: 'lightgreen', scaleY: 0.6, originX: 'center', originY: 'center' }); // Initiate a text instance var text = new fabric.Text('neveropen', { fontSize: 25, originX: 'center', originY: 'center' }); // Initiate a Group instance var group = new fabric.Group([ circle, text ], { selectable: false }); // Render the Group in canvas canvas.add(group); canvas.centerObject(group); </script> </body> </html> |
Output:
