How to get the coordinates of a Line object using FabricJS?
In this tutorial, we are going to show how you can get the coordinates of a Line 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 get the coordinates of a Line object, we use the getCoords method.
Syntax
getCoords(): Array
Using getCoords method
Example
Let’s see a code example to see the logged output when the getCoords method is used. The getCoords method returns the top-left, top-right, bottom-right and bottom-left coordinates of a Line in an array format.
<!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 getCoords method</h2> <p>You can open console from dev tools and see the logged output</p> <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 Line object var line = new fabric.Line([50, 100, 310, 100], { stroke: "blue", strokeWidth: 10, }); // Add it to the canvas canvas.add(line); // Using getCoords method console.log("The coordinates are: ", line.getCoords()); </script> </body> </html>
Using the getCoords method for a slant line
Example
In this example, we have used the getCoords method to obtain the coordinates of the Line instance with different starting and ending coordinates. We can see that the logged output is: (100, 40), (220, 40), (220,120), (100,120) which are the top-left, top-right, bottom-right and bottom-left coordinates of the line.
