I have two layers generally representing a large background and some content on top of it.
I have made the background draggable but when dragged, it covers the content of the other layer.
Is it possible to keep it in the background while dragging it?
I have tried binding the drag events with .moveToBottom() for the background group (later added to backgroundLayer) like that:
groupBackground.on('dragstart',function(){
groupBackground.moveToBottom();
});
groupBackground.on('dragmove',function(){
groupBackground.moveToBottom();
});
groupBackground.on('dragend',function(){
groupBackground.moveToBottom();
});
but to no result.
You can “draw under” by using the canvas “.globalCompositeOperation”
This will allow your user to drag the background under the foreground.
And you can apply it to KineticJs like this:
layer.getContext().globalCompositeOperation = "destination-over";
Here is code and a Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/2GFSE/
var stage = new Kinetic.Stage({
container: 'container',
width: 578,
height: 200
});
var layer = new Kinetic.Layer();
stage.add(layer);
var background = new Kinetic.Rect({
x: stage.getWidth() / 2,
y: stage.getHeight() / 2,
width: 250,
height: 250,
fill: 'black',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4,
draggable: true
});
var foreground = new Kinetic.Ellipse({
x: stage.getWidth() / 3,
y: stage.getHeight() / 3,
radius: {
x: 50,
y: 30
},
fill: 'red',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4
});
// add the background and foreground to the layer
layer.add(foreground);
layer.draw();
layer.getContext().globalCompositeOperation = "destination-over";
layer.add(background);
layer.draw();
