How to create a Polygon with Polyline using FabricJS?
We can create a Polygon object by creating an instance of fabric.Polygon. A polygon object can be characterized by any closed shape consisting of 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. Since Polygon extends fabric.Polyline, we can create a polygon instance by using polyline as well.
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 polygon object where each point is an object with x and y.
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 Polygon object.
Example 1: Creating an Instance of fabric.Polygon() and Adding it to our Canvas
Let’s see a code example of how we can create a polygon by creating an instance of fabric.Polygon. Since the Polygon class extends fabric.Polyline, it inherits its properties and methods thereby establishing a relationship between them.

Example 2: Creating an Instance of fabric.Polyline() and Adding it to our Canvas
Let’s see a code example to see how we can create a polygon by creating an instance of fabric.Polyline. We need to specify an Array containing the x and y coordinates of the polygon that we want to create and add any optional properties that we want to include in the options object. In this case, we have created a square which is a polygon having four equal sides and four equal angles.

Conclusion
In this tutorial, we used two simple examples to demonstrated how you can create a Polygon with Polyline using FabricJS.
