Create polygons with the Canvas API

Installation

yarn add canvas-polygon

API

This module exports a single function:

function polygon (ctx, x, y, radius, sides, startAngle, counterClockwise) { }

It takes the following arguments:

• ctx - a canvas context object
• x - a Number
• y - a Number
• radius - a Number
• sides - a Number greater than 2. :)
• startAngle - a Number in radians. Math.PI is 180 degrees. Defaults to 0
• counterClockwise - a Boolean. Defaults to false

Example

const polygon = require('.')
const yellow = require('javascript-yellow')
const canvasSize = 400

window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', draw)

function draw () {
  var canvas = document.createElement('canvas')
  var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')
  document.body.appendChild(canvas)
  canvas.width = canvasSize
  canvas.height = canvasSize
  ctx.fillStyle = yellow
  ctx.fillRect(0, 0, canvasSize, canvasSize)
  ctx.fillStyle = '#000'
  polygon(ctx, canvasSize / 2, canvasSize / 2, canvasSize / 3, 6, Math.PI / 2)
}
