Fabric.js Polygon strokeDashArray Property

0 0 1 minute read

In this article, we are going to see how to add a stroke dash pattern to the Polygon canvas using FabricJS. The canvas means Polygon written is movable, rotatable, resizable, and can be stretched. But in this article, we will add a stroke dash pattern. Further, the Polygon itself cannot be edited like a textbox.

To make it possible, we are going to use a JavaScript library called FabricJS. After importing the library using CDN, we will create a canvas block in the body tag which will contain our Polygon. After this, we will initialize instances of Canvas and Polygon provided by FabricJS and create a stroke using stroke property and further use the strokeDashArray property to add stroke dash pattern and render the Canvas on the Polygon as given in the below example.

Syntax:

fabric.Polygon([  
    { x: pixel, y: pixel },  
    { x: pixel, y: pixel },  
    { x: pixel, y: pixel},  
    { x: pixel, y: pixel},  
    { x: pixel, y: pixel }],
    {
        strokeDashArray : Array
    }
);

Parameters: This property accepts a single value as an array mentioned above and described below:

Array: It specifies the stroke dash pattern.

Below example illustrate the Fabric.js strokeDashArray:
