FabricJS β How to set a multiplier to scale by in the URL string of a Line object?
In this tutorial, we are going to learn about how to set a multiplier to scale by in the URL string of Line object using FabricJS. A Line element is one of the basic elements provided in FabricJS. It is used for creating straight lines. Because line elements are geometrically one-dimensional and do not contain an interior, they are never filled. We can create a line object by creating an instance of fabric.Line, specifying the x and y coordinates of the line and adding it to the canvas. In order to set a multiplier to scale by in the URL string of Line object we use the multiplier property.
Syntax
toDataURL({ multiplier: Number }: Object): String
Parameters
options (optional) β This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to the URL representation of the Line object. Using this parameter height, quality, format and a lot of other properties can be changed of which multiplier is a property.
Options Keys
multiplier β This property accepts a Number value which denotes the multiplier to scale the final Line output image by. The default value is 1.
Without using the multiplier property
Example
Letβs see a code example to see the output image when the multiplier property is not used. As soon as we open the console from the dev tools, we can see the URL representation of the Line object. We can copy that URL and paste it into the address bar of a new tab to see the final output. Since we have not used the multiplier property, the default multiplier value will be used, which is 1.

Using the multiplier property
Example
Letβs see a code example to see how the final output image of the Line object looks like when the multiplier property is used. In this case, we passed it a value of 2. Therefore the final image will be scaled by twice in both x and y directions.
