In this article, we are going to see how to set the selectability of a canvas polyline using FabricJS. The canvas polyline means the polyline is movable and can be stretched according to requirements. Further, the Polyline can be customized when it comes to initial stroke color, shape, fill color, or stroke width.
To make it possible we are going to use a JavaScript library called FabricJS. After importing the library, we will create a canvas block in the body tag that will contain the Polyline. After this, we will initialize instances of canvas and polyline provided by FabricJS and set the selectability of the polyline using selectable property, and render the polyline on the canvas as given in the example below.
Syntax:
var polyline = new fabric.Polyline(Points, {
selectable: boolean
});
Parameters: This property accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below.
- selectable: It specifies whether the canvas is selectable or not.
Example: The below example illustrates the selectable property in Fabric.js
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <!-- Loading the FabricJS library --> <script src= </script> </head> <body> <div style="text-align: center;width: 600px;"> <h1 style="color: green;"> neveropen </h1> <b> Fabric.js | Polyline selectable Property </b> </div> <canvas id="canvas" width="600" height="200" style="border:1px solid #000000;"> </canvas> <script> // Initiate a Canvas instance var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas"); // Initiate a polyline instance var polyline = new fabric.Polyline([ { x: 200, y: 10 }, {x: 250, y: 50 }, { x: 250, y: 180 }, { x: 150, y: 180 }, { x: 150, y: 50 }, { x: 200, y: 10 }], { stroke: 'green', strokeWidth: 3, cornerStyle: 'circle', selectable: false }); // Render the polyline in canvas canvas.add(polyline); </script> </body> </html> |
Output:
