Functions

jCanvas allows you to use a user-defined function as the value for any fill or stroke style. The function accepts one argument: the parameters object passed into the method (or the layer object if the drawing is a layer).

Functions as fill/stroke styles can be useful for dynamic computation of those styles.

// The circle changes color as you drag it along the x-axis
$('canvas').drawArc({
layer: true,
draggable: true,
x: 50, y: 50,
radius: 30,
fillStyle: function (layer) {
const value = Math.min(
Math.round((layer.x / this.width) * 360),
360
);
return 'hsl(' + value + ', 50%, 50%)';
}
});

Notes

The return value of the given function will be used as the resulting fill/stroke style.
