I'd like to load a SVG image into canvas using Fabric.js and have access to all attributes of it.
Let's assume I have an image like this:
SVG Image
I tried to it using Fabric.js on 3 ways:
1. (Saved as String) - this method is not loading my image, I took other SVG and attributes can be accessed with svgImg.fill.color property.
fabric.loadSVGFromString(svg, function (objects, options) {
var svgImg = fabric.util.groupSVGElements(objects, options);
canvas.add(svgImg);
});
2. Directly from URL:
fabric.loadSVGFromURL(URLsvg, function (objects, options) {
var svgImg = fabric.util.groupSVGElements(objects, options);
canvas.add(svgImg);
});
3.Using fabric.Image:
<img id="Test_Img" src="~/SVG/homer-simpson.svg" style="display: none;" />
var Img = document.getElementById('Test_Img');
var imgInstance = new fabric.Image(Img, {
left: 90,
top: 80
});
How can I access inner attributes of my SVG and change for example color of Homers T-Shirt?
Loaded SVG objects become groups in fabric.js (if they are not simple geometric forms like a rectangle, circle, etc.).
You can access the members of the group with getObjects(), which returns an array.
Here is a simple example. It reads an SVG consisting of 3 arcs and changes the color of the first arc to blue:
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas', { preserveObjectStacking: true });
canvas.backgroundColor="#fff";
canvas.renderAll();
fabric.loadSVGFromURL("https://media-public.canva.com/MABtmZU4zXQ/1/screen.svg",function(objects,options) {
var loadedObjects = fabric.util.groupSVGElements(objects, options);
loadedObjects.set({
width: 300,
height: 150
});
canvas.add(loadedObjects);
// Change the first arc to blue
loadedObjects.getObjects()[0].set({fill: "blue"});
canvas.renderAll();
});
It runs with fabric.js Version 3.5.

I am trying to draw a textbox on canvas that contains an image and some drawing over it. now I am trying to draw a textbox over it.
When I am trying to initialize canvas object using fabricJS it's making canvas empty first. like..
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('mycanvas')
after this code, it makes canvas empty. but if I initialize this code in the very beginning just after canvas initialized and then I try to add a textbox to that canvas object like...
var text = new fabric.Textbox('A Computer Science Portal',
{
width: 450,
height: 10,
top: 100,
left: 100,
});
this.canvas.add(text);
Then the textbox is not visible. I think it went in the background of the image.
I have already written lots of code for drawing over the canvas not want to draw textbox on the canvas after with all existing drawing and image that is developed in javascript only.
On Fabric you have bringToFront use that to keep the text on top.
Here is the official documentation:
http://fabricjs.com/docs/fabric.Canvas.html#bringToFront
Sample code:
var image;
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('canvas');
var url = "http://swagger-net-test.azurewebsites.net/api/SvgImage?"
var text = new fabric.Textbox('TEST', { width: 90, height: 10, top: 30, left: 50 });
this.canvas.add(text);
function loadSVG(url) {
fabric.loadSVGFromURL(url, function(objects, options) {
if (image) canvas.remove(image);
image = fabric.util.groupSVGElements(objects, options);
image.name = 'sticker';
canvas.add(image);
image.scaleToHeight(100);
image.center();
image.setCoords();
canvas.renderAll();
canvas.bringToFront(text)
});
}
loadSVG(url + "color=red")
setTimeout(function() {
loadSVG(url + "color=blue")
}, 3000);
<canvas id="canvas" width="200" height="200"></canvas>

I have a this SVG, which i am trying to load in canvas but it just render the black image, so how to solve it?
version: 2.0.0-beta.7
I have tried both method loadSVGFromString as well as loadSVGFromURL but no success:
//Using loadSVGFromString
var a = 'svg string';
fabric.loadSVGFromString(a,function(objects, options) {
var obj = fabric.util.groupSVGElements(objects, options);
canvas.add(obj).renderAll();
});
//using loadSVGFromURL
fabric.loadSVGFromURL('URL Here', function(objects,options) {
var group = new fabric.Group(objects, {
left: 50,
top: 50,
});
canvas.add(group);
canvas.renderAll();
});

"All black" svgs often is a result of some invalid or unsupported svg markup.
In your case I think you should remove the fill-opacity="null" references from your svg.
I am using the HTML5 CANVAS with fabric js. Finally will be converted it into SVG.we can upload images and crop into circle,rectangle,.. .The image also being cropped and added text on it.The problem which i am facing is the images are not being cropped into svg.It shows full images like below.i have tried viewBox also in toSVG.Please suggest me what to do or if i am doing anything wrong.
$(function(){
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('Canvas',{backgroundColor: '#ffffff',preserveObjectStacking: true});
canvas.clipTo = function (ctx) {
ctx.arc(250, 300, 200, 0, Math.PI*2, true);
};
fabric.Image.fromURL('https://fabric-canvas.s3.amazonaws.com/Tulips.jpg', function(oImg) {
canvas.add(oImg);
});
canvas.add(new fabric.IText('Welcome ', {
left : fabric.util.getRandomInt(50,50),
top:fabric.util.getRandomInt(430, 430)
}));
canvas.renderAll();
$('#tosvg_').on('click',function(){
$('#svgcontent').html(canvas.toSVG());
});
});

<div class="container">
<div id='canvascontain' width='1140' height='600' style='left:0px;background-color:rgb(240,240,240)'>

I looked through the fabric documentation and could not find any methods for carrying over the canvas's clipTo property to the generated SVG. So I think the best (only) way to crop the SVG image to a circle, is to insert some additional SVG elements into it. Rather than explaining piece by piece, I'll just paste some commented JS code I came up with for this.
$(function(){
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('Canvas',{backgroundColor: '#ffffff',preserveObjectStacking: true});
canvas.clipTo = function (ctx) {
ctx.arc(250, 300, 200, 0, Math.PI*2, true);
};
// Using a JQuery deferred object as a promise. This is used to
// synchronize execution, so that the SVG is never created before
// the image is added to the canvas.
var dImageLoaded = $.Deferred();
fabric.Image.fromURL('https://fabric-canvas.s3.amazonaws.com/Tulips.jpg', function(oImg) {
// Insert the image object below any existing objects, so that
// they appear on top of it. Then resolve the deferred.
canvas.insertAt(oImg, 0);
dImageLoaded.resolve();
});
canvas.add(new fabric.IText('Welcome ', {
left : fabric.util.getRandomInt(50,50),
top:fabric.util.getRandomInt(430, 430)
}));
canvas.renderAll();
$('#tosvg_').on('click',function(){
// Wait for the deferred to be resolved.
dImageLoaded.then(function () {
// Get the SVG string from the canvas.
var svgString = canvas.toSVG({
viewBox: {
x: 50,
y: 100,
width: 400,
height: 400,
},
width: 400,
height: 400,
});
// SVG content is not HTML, nor even standard XML, so doing
// $(svgString) might mutilate it. Therefore, even though we
// will be modifying the SVG before displaying it, we need to
// insert it straight into the DOM before we can get a JQuery
// selector to it.
// The plan is to hide the svgcontent div, append the SVG,
// modify it, and then show the svcontent div, to prevent the
// user from seeing half-baked SVG.
var $svgcontent = $('#svgcontent').hide().html(svgString);
var $svg = $svgcontent.find('svg');
// Create some SVG elements to represent the clip path, and
// append them to $svg. To create SVG elements, we need to use
// document.createElementNS, not document.createElement, which
// is also what $('<clipPath>') and $('<circle>') would call.
var $clipPath = $(document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'clipPath'))
.attr('id', 'clipCircle')
.appendTo($svg);
var $circle = $(document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/svg', 'circle'))
.attr('r', 200)
.attr('cx', 250)
.attr('cy', 300)
.appendTo($clipPath);
// This part is brittle, since it blindly writes to the
// transform attributes of the image and text SVG elements.
// SVG clip paths clip content relative to the pre-transformed
// coordinates of the element. The canvas.toSVG method places
// the image and the text each inside of group elements, and
// transforms the group elements. It does not transform the
// image and text. Because transforms work equally well on
// image and text as on groups, we move the transform attribute
// from the two groups to their contents. Then, we can use the
// same clip-path on all groups.
// If the contents of the groups already had transforms, we
// would need to create multiple clip paths - one for each group
// - based on the groups' transforms.
$svg.find('g').each(function () {
var $g = $(this);
// Move transform attribute from group to its children, and
// give the group a clip-path attribute.
$g.children().attr('transform', $g.attr('transform'));
$g.removeAttr('transform').attr('clip-path', 'url(#clipCircle)');
});
$('#svgcontent').show();
});
});
});

I noticed that part of the Welcome text gets clipped, but I'll leave it to you to move that.
Started using fabric.js and trying to add a canvas inside another canvas, so that the top canvas stays constant and I'll add objects to inner canvas.
Here is the snippet of adding a canvas to another canvas.
canvas = new fabric.Canvas('artcanvas');
innerCanvas = new fabric.Canvas("innerCanvas");
canvas.add(innerCanvas);
and my html looks like this
<canvas id="artcanvas" width="500" height="500"></canvas>
<canvas id="innerCanvas" width="200" height="200" ></canvas>
Once adding these successfully, what I am going to do is , add the coordinates to the inner canvas, so that it looks like one on another to the end user.
However, ran into the below error for the tried code
Uncaught TypeError: obj.setCoords is not a function
at klass._onObjectAdded (fabric.js:6894)
at klass.add (fabric.js:231)
at main.js:60

add # fabric.js:231
(anonymous) # main.js:60
(anonymous) # fabric.js:19435
fabric.util.loadImage.img.onload # fabric.js:754
Looking at the error message, just went to the line of error and here is what I found in chrome console
Can someone point the mistake in my codes ?
After going through no.of discussions and internet solutions, for time being I am using Fabric Rectangle as a clipper and setting it's boundaries so user can be able to drop/play with in that particular clipper.
Dotted red(image below) is my clipper and now I can bound the dropping and below is the code to add an image with a clipper.
function addImageToCanvas(imgSrc) {
fabric.Object.prototype.transparentCorners = false;
fabric.Image.fromURL(imgSrc, function(myImg) {
var img1 = myImg.set({
left: 20,
top: 20,
width: 460,
height: 460
});
img1.selectable = false;
canvas.add(img1);
var clipRectangle = new fabric.Rect({
originX: 'left',
originY: 'top',
left: 150,
top: 150,
width: 200,
height: 200,
fill: 'transparent',
/* use transparent for no fill */
strokeDashArray: [10, 10],
stroke: 'red',
selectable: false
});
clipRectangle.set({
clipFor: 'layer'
});
canvas.add(clipRectangle);
});
}
Now while appending any image/layer to the canvas, I bind that image/layer/text to the clipper I created.
function addLayerToCanvas(laImg) {
var height = $(laImg).height();
var width = $(laImg).width();
var clickedImage = new Image();
clickedImage.onload = function(img) {
var pug = new fabric.Image(clickedImage, {
width: width,
height: height,
left: 150,
top: 150,
clipName: 'layer',
clipTo: function(ctx) {
return _.bind(clipByName, pug)(ctx)
}
});
canvas.add(pug);
};
clickedImage.src = $(laImg).attr("src");
}
And the looks like, after restriction of bounds,
Here is the fiddle I have created with some static image url.
https://jsfiddle.net/sureshatta/yxuoav39/
So I am staying with this solution for now and I really feel like this is hacky and dirty. Looking for some other clean solutions.
As far as I know you can't add a canvas to another canvas - you're getting that error as it tries to call setCoords() on the object you've added, but in this case it's another canvas and fabric.Canvas doesn't contain that method (see docs). I think a better approach would be to have two canvases and position them relatively using CSS - see this simple fiddle
HTML
<div class="parent">
<div class="artcanvas">
<canvas id="artcanvas" width="500" height="500"></canvas>
</div>
<div class="innerCanvas">
<canvas id="innerCanvas" width="200" height="200" ></canvas>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.parent {
position: relative;
background: black;
}
.artcanvas {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
.innerCanvas {
position: absolute;
left: 150px;
top: 150px;
}
JS
$(document).ready(function() {
canvas = new fabric.Canvas('artcanvas');
innerCanvas = new fabric.Canvas("innerCanvas");
var rect = new fabric.Rect({
fill: 'grey',
width: 500,
height: 500
});
canvas.add(rect);
var rect2 = new fabric.Rect({
fill: 'green',
width: 200,
height: 200
});
innerCanvas.add(rect2);
})
To handle the object serialization, you can do something like this:
var innerObjs = innerCanvas.toObject();
console.dir(innerObjs);
var outerObjs = canvas.toObject();
innerObjs.objects.forEach(function (obj) {
obj.left += leftOffset; // offset of inner canvas
obj.top += topOffset;
outerObjs.objects.push(obj);
});
var json = JSON.stringify(outerObjs);
This will then give you the JSON for all objects on both canvases
I have no understanding why you want to do this thing, but to put a canvas inside another canvas, you have one simple way:
canvas = new fabric.Canvas('artcanvas');
innerCanvas = new fabric.Canvas("innerCanvas");
imageContainer = new fabric.Image(innerCanvas.lowerCanvasEl);
canvas.add(imageContainer);
Then depending what you want to do, you may need additional tweaks, but this should work out of the box.
Don't create a canvas
Most objects in fabric (from my limited experience) are at some point converted to a canvas. Creating an additional fabric canvas to manage a group of objects is kind of pointless as you are just adding overhead and mimicking fabrics built in groups object.
Fabric objects are basically DOM canvases wrappers.
The following example shows how fabric uses a canvas to store the content of a group. The demo creates a group and adds it to the fabric canvas, then gets the groups canvas and adds it to the DOM. Clicking on the group's canvas will add a circle. Note how it grows to accommodate the new circles.
const radius = 50;
const fill = "#0F0";
var pos = 60;
const canvas = new fabric.Canvas('fCanvas');
// create a fabric group and add two circles
const group = new fabric.Group([
new fabric.Circle({radius, top : 5, fill, left : 20 }),
new fabric.Circle({radius, top : 5, fill, left : 120 })
], { left: 0, top: 0 });
// add group to the fabric canvas;
canvas.add(group);
// get the groups canvas and add it to the DOM
document.body.appendChild(group._cacheContext.canvas);
// add event listener to add circles to the group
group._cacheContext.canvas.addEventListener("click",(e)=>{
group.addWithUpdate(
new fabric.Circle({radius, top : pos, fill : "blue", left : 60 })
);
canvas.renderAll();
pos += 60;
});
canvas {
border : 2px solid black;
}
div {
margin : 10px;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/1.7.13/fabric.min.js"></script>
<div>Fabric's canvas "canvas = new fabric.Canvas('fCanvas');"</div>
<canvas id="fCanvas" width="256" height="140"></canvas>
<div>Fabric group canvas below. Click on it to add a circle.</div>
Use a group rather than a new instance of a fabric canvas.
As you can see a canvas is generated for you. Adding another fabric canvas (Note that a fabric canvas is not the same as a DOM canvas) will only add more work for fabric to do, which already has a lot of work to do.
You are best of to use a group and have that hold the content of the other fabric object you wish to shadow. That would also contain its content in a group.
Just an image
And just a side not, a DOM canvas is an image and can be used by fabric just as any other image. It is sometimes better to do the rendering directly to the canvas rather than via fabric so you can avoid rendering overheads that fabric needs to operate.
To add a DOM canvas to fabric just add it as an image. The border and text are not fabric object, and apart from the code to render them take up no memory, and no additional CPU overhead that would be incurred if you used a fabric canvas and objects.
const canvas = new fabric.Canvas('fCanvas');
// create a standard DOM canvas
const myImage = document.createElement("canvas");
// size it add borders and text
myImage.width = myImage.height = 256;
const ctx = myImage.getContext("2d");
ctx.fillRect(0,0,256,256);
ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.fillRect(4,4,248,248);
ctx.fillStyle = "black";
ctx.font = "32px arial";
ctx.textAlign = "center";
ctx.textBaseline = "middle";
ctx.fillText("The DOM canvas!",128,128);
// use the canvas to create a fabric image and add it to fabrics canvas.
canvas.add( new fabric.Image(myImage, {
left: (400 - 256) / 2,
top: (400 - 256) / 2,
}));
canvas {
border : 2px solid black;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fabric.js/1.7.13/fabric.min.js"></script>
<canvas id="fCanvas" width="400" height="400"></canvas>
innerCanvas.setCoords(); ìs a function, but you need it only after you set the coordinates. Or more precise, set these four elements:
innerCanvas.scaleX = 1;
innerCanvas.scaleY = 1;
innerCanvas.left = 150;
innerCanvas.top = 150;
innerCanvas.setCoords();
canvas.renderAll();
I'm trying to build a transform manager for KineticJS that would build a bounding box and allow users to scale, move, and rotate an image on their canvas. I'm getting tripped up with the logic for the anchor points.
http://jsfiddle.net/mharrisn/whK2M/
I just want to allow a user to scale their image proportionally from any corner, and also rotate as the hold-drag an anchor point.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Here is a proof of concept of a rotational control I've made:
http://codepen.io/ArtemGr/pen/ociAD
While the control is dragged around, the dragBoundFunc is used to rotate the content alongside it:
controlGroup.setDragBoundFunc (function (pos) {
var groupPos = group.getPosition()
var rotation = degrees (angle (groupPos.x, groupPos.y, pos.x, pos.y))
status.setText ('x: ' + pos.x + '; y: ' + pos.y + '; rotation: ' + rotation); layer.draw()
group.setRotationDeg (rotation); layer.draw()
return pos
})
I am doing the same thing, and I've posted a question which is allmoast the same, but I found a link where you have the resize and move tool ready developed. So I have used the same. It does not contain the rotate tool however, but this can be a good start for you too, it is very simple and logical. Here is the link: http://www.html5canvastutorials.com/labs/html5-canvas-drag-and-drop-resize-and-invert-images/
I will come back with the rotation tool as well if I manage to get it working perfectly.
I hope I am not late yet for posting this code snippet that I made. I had the same problem with you guys dealing with this kind of task. Its been 3 days since I tried so many workarounds to mimic the fabricjs framework capability when dealing with images and objects. I could use Fabricjs though but it seems that Kineticjs is more faster/consistent to deal with html5.
Luckily, we already have existing plugin/tool that we could easily implement together with kineticjs and this is jQuery Transform tool. SUPER THANKS TO THE AUTHOR OF THIS! Just search this on google and download it.
I hope the code below that I created would help lots of developers out there who is pulling their hair off to solve this kind of assignment.
