Constructors

new Polygon()

new Polygon(points, options?): Polygon

Constructor

Parameters

Array of points (where each point is an object with x and y)

options?: Partial<FabricObjectProps> = ...

Options object

Returns

Polygon

thisArg

Inherited from

Polyline.constructor

Example

var poly = new Polyline([
{ x: 10, y: 10 },
{ x: 50, y: 30 },
{ x: 40, y: 70 },
{ x: 60, y: 50 },
{ x: 100, y: 150 },
{ x: 40, y: 100 }
], {
stroke: 'red',
left: 100,
top: 100
});

Defined in

src/shapes/Polyline.ts:118

Properties

__corner?

optional __corner: string

keeps the value of the last hovered corner during mouse move. 0 is no corner, or ‘mt’, ‘ml’, ‘mtr’ etc.. It should be private, but there is no harm in using it as a read-only property. this isn’t cleaned automatically. Non selected objects may have wrong values

Inherited from

Polyline.__corner

Defined in

src/shapes/Object/InteractiveObject.ts:105

type

static type: string = 'Polygon'

The class type. This is used for serialization and deserialization purposes and internally it can be used to identify classes. When we transform a class in a plain JS object we need a way to recognize which class it was, and the type is the way we do that. It has no other purposes and you should not give one. Hard to reach on instances and please do not use to drive instance’s logic (this.constructor.type). To idenfity a class use instanceof class ( instanceof Rect ). We do not do that in fabricJS code because we want to try to have code splitting possible.

Overrides

Polyline.type

Defined in

src/shapes/Polygon.ts:7

Accessors

type

get type(): string

Legacy identifier of the class. Prefer using utils like isType or instanceOf Will be removed in fabric 7 or 8. The setter exists to avoid type errors in old code and possibly current deserialization code.
