How to create custom layouts/shapes using canvas element in react/javascript-CodePudding

I am working on a 2d interior designing web application, where a user will be able to add images/SVG's to below layout. I am working on canvas element but the problem is canvas element only takes height and width which is why I can create either rectangle or square. Is it possible using canvas element? If not kindly suggest any other approach. thank you

CodePudding user response：

You can use Path for creating custom shapes and call Clip function to cut image to the required path

let canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
let ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

// creating the path similar to the question
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(4,0);
ctx.lineTo(4,4);
ctx.lineTo(0,4);
ctx.lineTo(0,12);
ctx.lineTo(22,12);
ctx.lineTo(22,0);
ctx.closePath();

ctx.clip(); // cut the canvas to above path

ctx.drawImage(imageTag, 0, 0); // now this will show image to the segmented path
