How to center an Image object vertically on current viewport of canvas using FabricJS?


In this tutorial, we are going to show how you can center an Image object vertically on current viewport of canvas using FabricJS. We can create an Image object by creating an instance of fabric.Image. Since it is one of the basic elements of FabricJS, we can also easily customize it by applying properties like angle, opacity etc. In order to center an Image object vertically on current viewport of canvas, we use the viewportCenterV method.

Syntax

viewportCenterV(): fabric.Object

Default appearance of the Image object

Example

Let’s see a code example to see how our Image object looks when the viewportCenterV method is not used. In this case, the image object will not be centered vertically on the canvas.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <!-- Adding the Fabric JS Library--> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/510/fabric.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <h2>Default appearance of the Image object</h2> <p>You can see the default appearance of Image object</p> <canvas id="canvas"></canvas> <img src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/images/logo.png" id="img1" style="display: none" /> <script> // Initiate a canvas instance var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas"); canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth); canvas.setHeight(250); // Initiating the image element var imageElement = document.getElementById("img1"); // Initiate an Image object var image = new fabric.Image(imageElement, { top: 50, left: 110, }); // Add it to the canvas canvas.add(image); </script> </body> </html>

Using the viewportCenterV method

Example

Let’s see a code example to see how the image object looks like when the viewportCenterV method is used. In this case, our image object will be centered vertically with respect to the current viewport of the canvas.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <!-- Adding the Fabric JS Library--> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/510/fabric.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <h2>Using the viewportCenterV method</h2> <p> You can see that the image object is centered vertically with respect to the current viewport of canvas </p> <canvas id="canvas"></canvas> <img src="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/images/logo.png" id="img1" style="display: none" /> <script> // Initiate a canvas instance var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas"); canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth); canvas.setHeight(250); // Initiating the image element var imageElement = document.getElementById("img1"); // Initiate an Image object var image = new fabric.Image(imageElement, { top: 50, left: 110, }); // Add it to the canvas canvas.add(image); // Using the viewportCenterV method image.viewportCenterV(); </script> </body> </html>

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we used two examples to demonstrate how you can center an Image object vertically on current viewport of canvas using FabricJS.
