In this article, we are going to see hoverCursor property in a canvas line in FabricJS. The canvas line means the line is movable and can be stretched according to requirements. Further, the line can be customized when it comes to initial stroke color, height, width, fill color, or stroke width.
To make this possible we are going to use a JavaScript library called FabricJS. After importing the library, we will create a canvas block in the body tag which will contain the line. After this, we will initialize instances of canvas and line provided by FabricJS and the style of the cursor in the canvas line using hoverCursor property, and render the line on the canvas as given below.
Syntax:
fabric.line({
hoverCursor : "string"
});Parameters: This property accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below.
- hoverCursor: It specifies the style of the cursor. It contains a string value.
Example 1:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>
<head>
<script src=
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>fabric.js | line hoverCursor property</h1>
<canvas id="canvas" width="600" height="200"
style="border:1px solid #000000;">
</canvas>
<script>
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
var line = new fabric.Line([150, 10, 220, 150], {
stroke: 'green',
});
canvas.add(line);
</script>
</body>
</html>

Output:
Example 2: The following example demonstrates the hoverCursor property with the “pointer” option.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html>
<head>
<script src=
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>fabric.js | line hoverCursor property</h1>
<canvas id="canvas" width="600" height="200"
style="border:1px solid #000000;">
</canvas>
<script>
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
var line = new fabric.Line([150, 10, 220, 150], {
stroke: 'green',
hoverCursor: 'pointer'
});
canvas.add(line);
</script>
</body>
</html>
