How to flip a Triangle horizontally using FabricJS?
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how we can flip a Triangle object horizontally using FabricJS. Triangle is one of the various shapes provided by FabricJS. In order to create a triangle, we will have to create an instance of fabric.Triangle class and add it to the canvas. We can flip a triangle object horizontally using the flipX property.
Syntax
new fabric.Triangle({ flipX: Boolean }: Object)
Parameters
Options (optional) This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our triangle. Using this parameter, properties such as colour, cursor, stroke width, and a lot of other properties can be changed related to the object of which flipX is a property.
Options Keys
flipX This property accepts a Boolean value which allows us to flip an object horizontally.
Example 1
Passing flipX as key with a 'false' value
Let's see a code example that shows us the default orientation of a triangle object in FabricJS. Since we are passing the flipX property a False value, the triangle object will not be flipped horizontally.

<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script>
// Initiate a canvas instance
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
// Initiate a triangle object
var triangle = new fabric.Triangle({
left: 75,
top: 45,
width: 180,
height: 109,
stroke: "#e3f988",
strokeWidth: 5,
flipX: false,
});
// Create gradient fill
triangle.set(
"fill",
new fabric.Gradient({
type: "linear",
coords: { x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 100, y2: 0 },
colorStops: [
{ offset: 0, color: "#545a2c" },
{ offset: 1, color: "#6495ed" },
],
})
);
// Add it to the canvas
canvas.add(triangle);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Example 2
Passing the flipX property as key with a 'True' value
In this example, we have a triangle object of width 180px and height 109px with a horizontal linear gradient fill. As we apply the flipX property to the triangle object, it flips horizontally and thus we see that the gradient has flipped as well.
