I'm trying to build a freeform lasso tool to clip an image inside canvas. I'm using fabric.js to draw the shape.
var canvas = document.getElementById('c');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var img = document.createElement('IMG');
img.onload = function() {
var OwnCanv = new fabric.Canvas('c', {
isDrawingMode: true
});
OwnCanv.freeDrawingBrush.color = "purple"
OwnCanv.freeDrawingBrush.width = 4
ctx.clip();
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
}
img.src = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Jbassette4.jpg?uselang=fi";
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/1.4.0/fabric.min.js"></script>
<canvas id="c" width="500" height="500"></canvas>
This is my attempt which doesn't seem to work, what am I doing wrong here ?
Can anyone help me please? It would really be appreciated.
The image needs to be a fabric.Image
.
You could try something like this:
var canvas = document.getElementById('c');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var img = document.createElement('IMG');
img.onload = function() {
var OwnCanv = new fabric.Canvas('c', {
isDrawingMode: true
});
var imgInstance = new fabric.Image(img, {
left: 0,
top: 0,
});
OwnCanv.add(imgInstance);
OwnCanv.freeDrawingBrush.color = "purple"
OwnCanv.freeDrawingBrush.width = 4
OwnCanv.on('path:created', function(options) {
var path = options.path;
OwnCanv.isDrawingMode = false;
OwnCanv.remove(imgInstance);
OwnCanv.remove(path);
OwnCanv.clipTo = function(ctx) {
path.render(ctx);
};
OwnCanv.add(imgInstance);
});
}
img.src = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/Jbassette4.jpg?uselang=fi";
