HTML5 canvas Line Tutorial

To create a simple line with Konva, we can instantiate a Konva.Line() object.

For full list of properties and methods, see the Line API Reference.

import Konva from 'konva';

const stage = new Konva.Stage({
  container: 'container',
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight
});

const layer = new Konva.Layer();
stage.add(layer);

const redLine = new Konva.Line({
  points: [5, 70, 140, 23, 250, 60, 300, 20],
  stroke: 'red',
  strokeWidth: 15,
  lineCap: 'round',
  lineJoin: 'round'
});

// line segments with a length of 33px with a gap of 10px
const greenLine = new Konva.Line({
  points: [5, 70, 140, 23, 250, 60, 300, 20],
  stroke: 'green',
  strokeWidth: 2,
  lineJoin: 'round',
  dash: [33, 10]
});

// line segments with a length of 29px with a gap of 20px
// followed by a dot (0.001px) and another gap of 20px
const blueLine = new Konva.Line({
  points: [5, 70, 140, 23, 250, 60, 300, 20],
  stroke: 'blue',
  strokeWidth: 10,
  lineCap: 'round',
  lineJoin: 'round',
  dash: [29, 20, 0.001, 20]
});

redLine.move({ x: 0, y: 5 });
greenLine.move({ x: 0, y: 55 });
blueLine.move({ x: 0, y: 105 });

layer.add(redLine, greenLine, blueLine);
