How to draw a hexagon with Polyline class using FabricJS?

We can create a Polyline object by creating an instance of fabric.Polyline. A polyline object can be characterised by a set of connected straight-line segments. Since it is one of the basic elements of FabricJS, we can also easily customize it by applying properties like angle, opacity etc. A hexagon is a closed two-dimensional polygon with six sides.

Syntax

new fabric.Polyline(points: Array, options: Object)

Parameters

• points ? This parameter accepts an Array which denotes the array of points that make up the polyline object.

• options (optional) ? This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our object. Using this parameter origin, stroke width and a lot of other properties can be changed related to the Polyline object.

Example 1: Creating an Instance of fabric.Polyline() and Adding it to our Canvas

Before creating a start, let?s see a code example of how we can add a polyline object to our canvas. The only required parameter is the points Array whereas the second argument is the optional options object.

Example 2: Creating a hexagon with Polyline

In this example, we will create a hexagon using the Polyline instance. We can select the coordinates in such a way that the shape forms a hexagon as given below.
