graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:448
Base class for creating shapes.
Shape
is an abstract class and is not meant to be used directly. The following classes extend
Shape
.
Shape
can also be extended to create custom shape classes.
Shape
has the following implementations based on browser capability.
It is not necessary to interact with these classes directly. Shape
will point to the appropriate implemention.
Shape

graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:448
cfg
Object
(optional) Attribute configs
addClass
className
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:488
Add a class name to each node.
className
String
the class name to add to the node's class attribute
compareTo
refNode
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:519
Compares nodes to determine if they match. Node instances can be compared to each other and/or HTMLElements.
refNode
HTMLElement | Node
The reference node to compare to the node.
True if the nodes match, false if they do not.
contains
needle
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:512
Determines whether the node is an ancestor of another HTML element in the DOM hierarchy.
needle
Shape | HTMLElement
The possible node or descendent
Boolean Whether or not this shape is the needle or its ancestor.
getBounds
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:594
Returns the bounds for a shape.
Calculates the a new bounding box from the original corner coordinates (base on size and position) and the transform matrix. The calculated bounding box is used by the graphic instance to calculate its viewBox.
Object
getXY
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:500
Gets the current position of the node in page coordinates.
Array The XY position of the shape.
init
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:475
Init method, invoked during construction.
Calls initializer
method.
removeClass
className
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:494
Removes a class name from each node.
className
String
the class name to remove from the node's class attribute
rotate
deg
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:582
Rotates the shape clockwise around it transformOrigin.
deg
Number
The degree of the rotation.
scale
val
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:588
Specifies a 2d scaling operation.
val
Number
setXY
Contains
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:506
Set the position of the shape in page coordinates, regardless of how the node is positioned.
Contains
Array
x & y values for new position (coordinates are page-based)
skew
x
y
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:563
Skews the shape around the x-axis and y-axis.
skewX
x
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:570
Skews the shape around the x-axis.
x
Number
x-coordinate
skewY
y
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:576
Skews the shape around the y-axis.
y
Number
y-coordinate
test
selector
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:526
Test if the supplied node matches the supplied selector.
selector
String
The CSS selector to test against.
Boolean Wheter or not the shape matches the selector.
translateX
x
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:549
Translates the shape along the x-axis. When translating x and y coordinates,
use the translate
method.
x
Number
The value to translate.
translateY
y
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:556
Translates the shape along the y-axis. When translating x and y coordinates,
use the translate
method.
y
Number
The value to translate.
data
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:761
Represents an SVG Path string. This will be parsed and added to shape's API to represent the SVG data across all implementations. Note that when using VML or SVG implementations, part of this content will be added to the DOM using respective VML/SVG attributes. If your content comes from an untrusted source, you will need to ensure that no malicious code is included in that content.
fill
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:681
Contains information about the fill of the shape.
If a linear
or radial
is specified as the fill type. The following additional property is used:
Linear gradients also have the following property:
Radial gradients have the following additional properties:
The x-coordinate of the center of the gradient circle. Determines where the color stop begins. The default value 0.5.
Note: Currently, this property is not implemented for corresponding CanvasShape
and
VMLShape
classes which are used on Android or IE 6 - 8.
The y-coordinate of the center of the gradient circle. Determines where the color stop begins. The default value 0.5.
Note: Currently, this property is not implemented for corresponding CanvasShape
and VMLShape
classes which are used on Android or IE 6 - 8.
graphic
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:770
Reference to the parent graphic instance
stroke
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:726
Contains information about the stroke of the shape.
transform
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:615
A string containing, in order, transform operations applied to the shape instance. The transform
string can contain the following values:
Applying transforms through the transform attribute will reset the transform matrix and apply a new transform. The shape class also contains
corresponding methods for each transform that will apply the transform to the current matrix. The below code illustrates how you might use the
transform
attribute to instantiate a recangle with a rotation of 45 degrees.
The code below would apply translate
and rotate
to an existing shape.
myRect.set("transform", "translate(40, 50) rotate(45)");
transformOrigin
Defined in
graphics/js/GraphicBase.js:608
An array of x, y values which indicates the transformOrigin in which to rotate the shape. Valid values range between 0 and 1 representing a fraction of the shape's corresponding bounding box dimension. The default value is [0.5, 0.5].
