In this article, we are going to see how to set horizontal skew of a canvas Textbox using Fabric.js. The Textbox in Fabric.js 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 Fabric.js. After importing the library, we will create a canvas block in the body tag which will contain the Textbox. After this, we will initialize instances of Canvas and Textbox provided by Fabric.js, set the horizontal skew using the skewX property and render the Textbox on the Canvas as given in the example below.

Syntax:

fabric.Textbox('text', {
   skewX: number
});

Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below:

  • skewX: It specifies the horizontal skew angle in degrees.

Example: This example uses Fabric.js to set horizontal skew of the Textbox.

        var text = new fabric.Textbox(
            'A Computer Science Portal', {
            width: 500,
            skewX: 200
        });
  
        // Render the Textbox in canvas 
        canvas.add(text);
        canvas.centerObject(text);
    </script>
</body>
