Draw rectangle on mousedown event












0














I have a basic zoomable and pannable canvas build in Fabric.js. I need to draw a rectangle on every mousedown event at the clicked coordinate position. The problem happens when the canvas is transformed from it's initial state - the drawing is not accurate because the coordinates must be transformed with the new matrix.



How can I transform the coordinates from the mouse event using the new matrix?



Here is the code I am using. Thanks



canvas.on('mouse:down', function (opt) {

  const evt = opt.e;

  const p = new fabric.Rect({

    left: opt.e.offsetX,

    top: opt.e.offsetY,

    fill: 'red',

    width: 30,

    height: 30,

  });

  canvas.add(p);

});


Update 1: I found a method to transform points (fabric.util.transformPoint()), but
the transformed points were not correct according to the canvas context.



  const evt = opt.e;

  const point = new fabric.Point(opt.e.offsetX, opt.e.offsetY);

  const transformedPoint = fabric.util.transformPoint(point, this.viewportTransform);

  const p = new fabric.Rect({

    left: transformedPoint.x,

    top: transformedPoint.y,

    fill: 'red',

    width: 30,

    height: 30,

  });

  this.add(p);

I finally solved it using fabric.util.transformPoint() using an inverted matrix. Here is the code for transforming a point in the canvas to a point in the canvas context.



  const point = new fabric.Point(offsetX, offsetY);

  const invertedMatrix = fabric.util.invertTransform(canvas.viewportTransform)

  const transformedPoint = fabric.util.transformPoint(point, invertedMatrix);

            Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

            Image
            28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

            Does disintegrating a polymorphed enemy still kill it after the 2018 errata?

            Image
            up vote 13 down vote favorite 1 After the 2018 errata, the disintegrate spell description now reads: A creature targeted by this spell must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form? I know that for Druids, it’s not an instant kill anymore, but is this the case for polymorph as well? dnd-5e spells polymorph errata share | improve this question edited 18 hours ago

            A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

            Image
            3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
