    Line factory

    A factory for generating straight linbe shape-based entitys

    Path-defined entitys represent a diverse range of shapes rendered onto a DOM <canvas> element using the Canvas API’s Path2D interface. They use the shapeBasic and shapePathCalculation (some also use shapeCurve) mixins to define much of their functionality.

    All path-defined entitys can be positioned, cloned, filtered etc:

    • Positioning functionality for the entity is supplied by the position mixin, while rendering functionality comes from the entity mixin.
    • Dimensions, however, have little meaning for path-defined entitys - their width and height are determined by their SVG path data Strings; use scale instead.
    • Path-defined entitys can use CSS color Strings for their fillStyle and strokeStyle values, alongside Gradient, RadialGradient, Color and Pattern objects.
    • They will also accept Filter objects.
    • They can use Anchor objects for user navigation.
    • They can be rendered to the canvas by including them in a Cell object’s Group.
    • They can be animated directly, or using delta animation, or act as the target for Tween animations.
    • Path-defined entitys can be cloned, and killed.
  • ¶

    Using path-defined entitys as Scrawl-canvas paths

    A path is a track - straight, or curved, or as complex as required - placed across a container which artefacts can use as a source of their positioning data. We can animate an artifact to move along the path:

    • To enable a path-defined entity to be used as a path by other artefacts, set its useAsPath flag to true.
    • The artefact can then set its path attribute to the path-defined entity’s name-String (or the entity itself), and set its lockTo Array values to "path".
    • We position the artefact by setting its pathPosition attribute to a float Number value between 0.0 - 1.0, with 0 being the start of the path, and 1 being its end.
    • Path-defined entitys can use other path-defined entitys as a path.
    • Phrase entitys can use a path to position their text block; they can also use a path to position each letter individually along the path.
    • Artefacts (and letters) can be rotated so that they match the rotation at that point along the path - tangential rotation by setting their addPathRotation flag to true.
    • Animate an artefact along the path by either using the artefact’s delta object, or triggering a Tween to perform the movement.

    Demos:

    • Canvas-011 - Shape entity (make, clone, method); drag and drop shape entitys
    • Canvas-012 - Shape entity position; shape entity as a path for other artefacts to follow
    • Canvas-013 - Path-defined entitys: oval, rectangle, line, quadratic, bezier, tetragon, polygon, star, spiral
    • Canvas-014 - Line, quadratic and bezier entitys - control lock alternatives
    • Canvas-018 - Phrase entity - text along a path
    • Canvas-024 - Loom entity functionality
    • Canvas-030 - Polyline entity functionality
    • Canvas-038 - Responsive Shape-based entitys
    • DOM-015 - Use stacked DOM artefact corners as pivot points
    • Component-004 - Scrawl-canvas packets - save and load a range of different entitys
