In this article, we are going to see how to lock flipping by scaling a canvas Textbox using lockScalingFlip Property FabricJS. So that it can not be inverted by pulling the width to the negative side. The canvas Textbox means Textbox is movable and can be stretched according to requirement. Further, the Textbox can be customized when it comes to initial stroke color, height, width, fill color, or stroke width.
To make it possible we are going to use a JavaScript library called FabricJS. After importing the library using CDN, we will create a canvas block in the body tag which will contain our Textbox. After this, we will initialize instances of Canvas and Textbox provided by FabricJS and lock flipping by scaling of the Textbox using lockScalingFlip property and render the Textbox on the Canvas as given in the example below.
Syntax:
fabric.Textbox('text', {
lockScalingFlip: boolean
});
Parameters: This property accepts only one parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- lockScalingFlip: It is a Boolean value that specifies whether to lock flipping by scaling or not.
Example 1: This example uses FabricJS to lock flipping by scaling of a canvas Textbox.
