I've been trying to put scrollbars into my KineticJS app following the tutorial Kinetic have on the API. I have the scrollbars themselves appearing as they should, but I'm not sure what to do with the event listeners to actually get the stage or each of the layers to move so that the scrollbars actually move the view along.
var hscrollArea = new Kinetic.Rect({
x: 10,
y: $(window).height() - 30 - 80, // 80 to account for the fixed footer
width: $(window).width() - 40,
height: 20,
fill: "gray",
opacity: 0.3
});
var hscroll = new Kinetic.Rect({
x: 10,
y: $(window).height() - 30 - 80,// 80 to account for the fixed footer
width: 130,
height: 20,
fill: "orange",
draggable: true,
dragBoundFunc: function(pos) {
// TODO: Move stage or layers at this point
console.log("dragBoundFunc: " + this);
return {
x: pos.x,
y: this.getAbsolutePostion().y
};
},
opacity: 0.9,
stroke: "black",
strokeWidth: 1
});
var vscrollArea = new Kinetic.Rect({
x: $(window).width() - 30,
y: 10,
width: 20,
height: $(window).height() - 40 - 80,
fill: "gray",
opacity: 0.3
});
var vscroll = new Kinetic.Rect({
x: $(window).width() - 30,
y: 10,
width: 20,
height: 70,
fill: "orange",
draggable: true,
dragBoundFunc: function(pos) {
// TODO: Move stage or layers at this point
console.log("dragBoundFunc: " + this);
return {
x: this.getAbsolutePosition().x,
y: pos.y
};
},
opacity: 0.9,
stroke: "black",
strokeWidth: 1
});
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks,

You can move stage or layer when your scrollbar(rectangle) is dragged. i.e,
stage.move(50,50);
stage.draw();
stage.move(-50,-50);
stage.draw();
I would recommend placing the objects you wish to scroll into their own group and position the group accordingly, rather than trying to position layers or the stage. The size of the group would be the (axis-aligned) bounding box of all the objects within the group. You can use the size of the group and compare it against the size of the stage to get a ratio for width and height. These ratios would be used to help calculate sizes for horizontal and vertical scroll bars (the bars being what get dragged to create a scroll effect). The ratio would also be used to determine when to show and hide the scroll bar areas. The difference in sizes would help in determining how to position the group within the stage.

This is probably just maths.
I am using Konva to dynamically generate shapes, which I'm storing as a label. So there's a label which contains a textElement and a rectangle. I want to make sure text in that rectangle is always a) Centered horizontally and vertically and b) facing the right way up.
So a rectangle could have any rotation, but I always want the text centered and facing the right way up.
The code for creation; width, height, rotation, x and y all have values pulled from a database.
var table = new Konva.Label({
x: pos_x,
y: pos_y,
width: tableWidth,
height: tableHeight,
draggable:true
});
table.add(new Konva.Rect({
width: tableWidth,
height: tableHeight,
rotation: rotation,
fill: fillColor,
stroke: strokeColor,
strokeWidth: 4
}));
table.add(new Konva.Text({
width: tableWidth,
height: tableHeight,
x: pos_x, //Defaults to zero
y: pos_y, //Default to zero
text: tableNumber,
verticalAlign: 'middle',
align: 'center',
fontSize: 30,
fontFamily: 'Calibri',
fill: 'black'
}))
tableLayer.add(table);
The problem is, if rotation is in place, text is off center, as in this image:
I do manually correct in some circumstances - for example if rotation = 45 degrees:
pos_x = -tableWidth/2;
pos_y = tableHeight/5;
but that is not a permanent solution. I want the x and y co-ordinates of the text to be at the centerpoint of the shape itself.
I've tried a few approaches (such as applying rotation to the Label itself and then negative rotation value to the text)
This code snippet illustrates a solution. It is copied & modified from my other self-answer when I was looking for a robust approach to rotation around an arbitrary point - note that I consider this a slightly different question than my original so I have not suggested this is a dup. The difference is the need to work with a more complex grouped shape and to keep some element within that group unrotated.
Not in the OP's question, but I set a background rectangle into the text by making the text a group. The purpose of this was to show that the text rectangle will extend outside the label rectangle in some points of rotation. This is not a critical issue but it is useful to see it happen.
The fundamental challenge for the coder is to understand how the shapes move when rotated since we usually want to spin them around their centre but the fundamental 2D canvas pattern that Konva (and all HTML5 canvas wrappers) follow is to rotate from the top-left corner, al least for rectangles as per shapes in the question. It 'is' possible to move the rotation point (known as the offset) but again that is a conceptual challenge for the dev and a nice trap for anyone trying to support the code later.
There's a lot of code in this answer that is here to set up something dynamic that you can use to visualise what is going on. However, the crux is in this:
// This is the important call ! Cross is the rotation point as illustrated by crosshairs.
rotateAroundPoint(shape, rotateBy, {x: cross.x(), y: cross.y()});
// The label is a special case because we need to keep the text unrotated.
if (shape.name() === 'label'){
let text = shape.find('.text')[0];
rotateAroundPoint(text, -1 * rotateBy, {x: text.getClientRect().width/2, y: text.getClientRect().height/2});
}
The rotateAroundPoint() function takes as parameters the Konva shape to rotate, the clockwise rotation angle (not radians, good ole degrees), and the x & y position of the rotation point on the canvas / parent.
I constructed a group of shapes as my label, composing it from a rectangle and a text shape. I named this 'label'. Actually I switched the text shape to be another group of rect + text to that I could show the rectangle the text sits within. You could leave out the extra group. I named this 'text'.
The first call to rotateAroundPoint() rotates the group named 'label'. So the group rotates on the canvas. Since the 'text' is a child of the 'label' group, that would leave the 'text' rotated, so the next line checks if we are working with the 'label' group, and if so we need to get hold of the 'text' shape which is what this line does:
let text = shape.find('.text')[0];
In Konva the result of a find() is a list so we take the first in the list. Now all that remains for me to do is rotate the text on the 'label' group back again by applying the negative rotation degrees to its center point. The line below achieves this.
rotateAroundPoint(text, -1 * rotateBy, {x: text.getClientRect().width/2, y: text.getClientRect().height/2});
One note worthy of mention - I used a group for my 'text' shape. A Konva group does not naturally have a width or height - it is more of a means to collect shapes together but without a 'physical' container. So to get its width and height for the centre point calculations I use the group.getClientRect() method which gives the size of the minimum bounding box that would contain all shapes in the group, and yields an object formed as {width: , height: }.
Second note - the first use of rotateAroundPoint() affects the 'label' group which has as its parent the canvas. The second use of that function affects the 'text' group which has the 'label' group as its parent. Its subtle but worth knowing.
Here is the snippet. I urge you to run it fullscreen and spin a few shapes around a few different points.
// Code to illustrate rotation of a shape around any given point. The important functions here is rotateAroundPoint() which does the rotation and movement math !
let

I am using KonvaJS to drag and drop rectangles into predefined slots. Some of the slots need to be rotated 90 degrees. I have a hit box around the slots that are rotated vertically, so when the user drags the rectangle into the area it will rotate 90 degrees automatically (to match the orientation). When it rotates, it moves out from under the mouse. This can be solved with offset, but then the rectangle doesn't visually line up with the boxes after snapping. This can (probably) be solved with additional code.
I have tried to rotate the rectangle, and then move it under the mouse. Since the user is still dragging it, this doesn't seem to work as I planned.
Is it possible to force the rectangle to rotate under the mouse without using offset?
Here is a fiddle showing the issue - The offset problems can be demonstrated by setting the first variable to true.

Here is a simple function to rotate the rectangle under the mouse, without using konva offset(). I used a tween to apply the movement but if you prefer to use it without the tween just apply the rect.rotate() then apply the newPos x & y as the position.
EDIT: The OP pointed out that if you clicked, held the mouse down whilst the rectangle completed its animation, then dragged, then the rectangle would jump away. What gives ? Well, when the mousedown event runs Konva takes note of the shape's initial position in its internal drag function. Then when we start to actually drag the mouse, Konva dutifully redraws the shape in the position it calculates. Now, 'we' know that we moved the shape in out code, but we didn't let Konva in on our trick.
The fix is to call
rect.stopDrag();
rect.startDrag();
immediately after the new position has been set. Because I am using a tween I do this in the onFinish() callback function of one of the tweens - you would want to ensure its the final tween if you apply more than one. I got away with it because my tweens run over the same period. If you aren't using tweens, just call the above immediately you apply your last rotate() or position() call on the shape.
function rotateUnderMouse(){
// Get the stage position of the mouse
var mousePos = stage.getPointerPosition();
// get the stage position of the mouse
var shapePos = rect.position();
// compute the vector for the difference
var rel = {x: mousePos.x - shapePos.x, y: mousePos.y - shapePos.y}
// Now apply the rotation
angle = angle + 90;
// and reposition the shape to keep the same point in the shape under the mouse
var newPos = ({x: mousePos.x + rel.y , y: mousePos.y - rel.x})
// Just for fun, a tween to apply the move: See https://konvajs.org/docs/tweens/Linear_Easing.html
var tween1 = new Konva.Tween({
node: rect,
duration: 0.25,
x: newPos.x,
y: newPos.y,
easing: Konva.Easings.Linear,
onFinish: function() { rect.stopDrag(); rect.startDrag();}
});
// and a tween to apply the rotation
tween2 = new Konva.Tween({
node: rect,
duration: 0.25,
rotation: angle,
easing: Konva.Easings.Linear
});
tween2.play();
tween1.play();

How to get The center point of the canvas object/rectangle. I use the Konvajs library for my small project. in the konva documentation said that you need to center the point to get good rotation.
http://konvajs.github.io/docs/animations/Rotation.html
Ex
var yellowRect = new Konva.Rect({
x: 220,
y: 75,
width: 100,
height: 50,
fill: 'yellow',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4,
offset: {
x: 50 // how to solve this using formula so it will dynamic,
y: 25 // how to solve this using formula so it will dynamic
}
});
Rotating rectangular objects around their centers
By default, KonvaJS sets the rotation point of a rectangle at its top-left corner. Therefore to rotate from the center of the rectangle you must push the rotation point to the center of the rectangle.
You can do this by setting the offsetX=rectangleWidth/2 and offsetY=rectangleHeight/2
var yellowRectWidth=100;
var yellowRectHeight=50;
var yellowRect = new Konva.Rect({
x: 220,
y: 75,
width: yellowRectWidth,
height: yellowRectHeight,
fill: 'yellow',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4,
offset: {
x: yellowRectWidth/2,
y: yellowRectHeight/2
}
});
Rotating circular objects around their centers
By default, KonvaJS sets the rotation point of circular shapes at their centerpoints. Therefore to rotate from the center of circular shapes you won't have to set any offsets.
I have two layers generally representing a large background and some content on top of it.
I have made the background draggable but when dragged, it covers the content of the other layer.
Is it possible to keep it in the background while dragging it?
I have tried binding the drag events with .moveToBottom() for the background group (later added to backgroundLayer) like that:
groupBackground.on('dragstart',function(){
groupBackground.moveToBottom();
});
groupBackground.on('dragmove',function(){
groupBackground.moveToBottom();
});
groupBackground.on('dragend',function(){
groupBackground.moveToBottom();
});
but to no result.
You can “draw under” by using the canvas “.globalCompositeOperation”
This will allow your user to drag the background under the foreground.
And you can apply it to KineticJs like this:
layer.getContext().globalCompositeOperation = "destination-over";
Here is code and a Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/2GFSE/
var stage = new Kinetic.Stage({
container: 'container',
width: 578,
height: 200
});
var layer = new Kinetic.Layer();
stage.add(layer);
var background = new Kinetic.Rect({
x: stage.getWidth() / 2,
y: stage.getHeight() / 2,
width: 250,
height: 250,
fill: 'black',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4,
draggable: true
});
var foreground = new Kinetic.Ellipse({
x: stage.getWidth() / 3,
y: stage.getHeight() / 3,
radius: {
x: 50,
y: 30
},
fill: 'red',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4
});
// add the background and foreground to the layer
layer.add(foreground);
layer.draw();
layer.getContext().globalCompositeOperation = "destination-over";
layer.add(background);
layer.draw();
What I want do is dynamically create a shape on mousedown, and then immediately have it (the shape) follow the mouse cursor until mouseup sets it in place.
Here is what I have so far and it's not working for me.
addNegativeButton.on('mousedown', function(){
var userPos = stage.getUserPosition();
shapesLayer.add(new Kinetic.Image({
image: imageObj,
x: userPos.x,
y: userPos.y,
height: 25,
width: 25,
rotation: 1,
draggable: true,
offset: 12
}));
var last = shapesLayer.getChildren()[shapesLayer.getChildren().length -1];
stage.on("mouseup", function(){
last.setAbsolutePosition(stage.getUserPosition());
stage.off("mouseup");
});
To reiterate:
What I have is an 'addNegativeButton' which when clicked creates a shape.
But I want it to follow the mouse cursor until the click is released.

Any suggestions?
Turns out its rather simple ;)
After you add the element/shape, all you have to do is use the simulate function to simulate mouse down and it drags....
var stage = new Kinetic.Stage({
container: 'container',
width: 578,
height: 200
});
var layer = new Kinetic.Layer();
var rect = new Kinetic.Rect({
x: 20,
y: 20,
width: 100,
height: 50,
fill: 'green',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4
});
//What I really want here is to start dragging the circle until the
//user releases the mouse, which would then place the circle.
rect.on('mousedown', function(evt) {
var userPos = stage.getUserPosition();
var latestElement = new Kinetic.Circle({
x: userPos.x,
y: userPos.y,
radius: 20,
fill: 'red',
stroke: 'black',
strokeWidth: 4,
draggable: true
})
layer.add(latestElement);
// Here's the bit you want. After adding the circle (with draggable:true) simulate the mousedown event on it which will initiate the drag
latestElement.simulate('mousedown');
layer.draw();
});
layer.add(rect);
stage.add(layer);
