I've seen an example of this done on the web before, but I cannot find the link anymore.
Basically it is a KineticJS example of a draggable box, with lines connected to it. When you move the box around the line will stay connected and redraw to the box's position.
I would really just like to know if anyone else has seen the example, or how this could be accomplished. I have googled the example, but I cannot find the answer anywhere.
Thanks.
It's not too difficult to do...
Create your box:
var box = new Kinetic.Rect({x:10,y:10, other stuff });
create your line:
var line = new Kinetic.Line({ x: box.getX(), y: box.getY(), other stuff });
var originalPoint = {x: box.getX(), y: box.getY()}; // save original box coordinates
then add a drag event redefine the line
box.on('dragstart dragmove', function(){
line.setPoints([originalPoint.x, originalPoint.y, box.getX(), box.getY() ]);
layer.draw(); //redraw current layer
});
like so: http://jsfiddle.net/KS9Bf/3/
This is exactly what you were asking about: http://jsfiddle.net/KS9Bf/6/
Its an update to the previous one.
