Flip a Rectangle Vertically Using Fabric.js
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how we can flip a Rectangle object vertically using FabricJS. Rectangle is one of the various shapes provided by FabricJS. In order to create a rectangle, we will have to create an instance of fabric.Rect class and add it to the canvas. We can flip a rectangle object vertically using the flipY property.
Syntax
new fabric.Rect({ flipY: Boolean }: Object)
Parameters
Options (optional) This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our rectangle. 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 flipY is a property.
Options Keys
flipY This property accepts a Boolean value which allows us to flip an object vertically.
Example 1
Passing flipY as key with a False value
Let’s see a code example that shows us the default orientation of a rectangle object in FabricJS. Since we are passing the flipY property a False value, the rectangle object will not be flipped vertically.
<!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>Passing flipY as key with a False value</h2> <p>You can see that the object has not flipped vertically.</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 rectangle object var rect = new fabric.Rect({ left: 125, top: 90, width: 170, height: 70, borderColor: "purple", borderScaleFactor: 3, flipY: false, }); // Create gradient fill rect.set( "fill", new fabric.Gradient({ type: "linear", coords: { x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 50 }, colorStops: [ { offset: 0, color: "pink" }, { offset: 1, color: "blue" }, ], }) ); // Add it to the canvas canvas.add(rect); </script> </body> </html>
Example 2
Passing the flipY property as key with a ‘true’ value
In this example, we have a rectangle object of width 170 px and height 70 px with a vertical linear gradient fill. As we apply the flipY property to the rectangle object, it flips vertically and thus we see that the gradient has flipped as well.
