# Graphics Class

Defined in: `Graphics:41`
Module: EaselJS

The Graphics class exposes an easy to use API for generating vector drawing instructions and drawing them to a specified context. Note that you can use Graphics without any dependency on the EaselJS framework by calling draw directly, or it can be used with the Shape object to draw vector graphics within the context of an EaselJS display list.

There are two approaches to working with Graphics object: calling methods on a Graphics instance (the "Graphics API"), or instantiating Graphics command objects and adding them to the graphics queue via append. The former abstracts the latter, simplifying beginning and ending paths, fills, and strokes.

     var g = new createjs.Graphics();
     g.setStrokeStyle(1);
     g.beginStroke("#000000");
     g.beginFill("red");
     g.drawCircle(0,0,30);

All drawing methods in Graphics return the Graphics instance, so they can be chained together. For example, the following line of code would generate the instructions to draw a rectangle with a red stroke and blue fill:

     myGraphics.beginStroke("red").beginFill("blue").drawRect(20, 20, 100, 50);

Each graphics API call generates a command object (see below). The last command to be created can be accessed via command:

     var fillCommand = myGraphics.beginFill("red").command;
     // ... later, update the fill style/color:
     fillCommand.style = "blue";
     // or change it to a bitmap fill:
     fillCommand.bitmap(myImage);

For more direct control of rendering, you can instantiate and append command objects to the graphics queue directly. In this case, you need to manage path creation manually, and ensure that fill/stroke is applied to a defined path:

     // start a new path. Graphics.beginCmd is a reusable BeginPath instance:
     myGraphics.append(createjs.Graphics.beginCmd);
     // we need to define the path before applying the fill:
     var circle = new createjs.Graphics.Circle(0,0,30);
     myGraphics.append(circle);
     // fill the path we just defined:
     var fill = new createjs.Graphics.Fill("red");
     myGraphics.append(fill);

These approaches can be used together, for example to insert a custom command:

     myGraphics.beginFill("red");
     var customCommand = new CustomSpiralCommand(etc);
     myGraphics.append(customCommand);
     myGraphics.beginFill("blue");
     myGraphics.drawCircle(0, 0, 30);

See append for more info on creating custom commands.

#### Tiny API

The Graphics class also includes a "tiny API", which is one or two-letter methods that are shortcuts for all of the Graphics methods. These methods are great for creating compact instructions, and is used by the Toolkit for CreateJS to generate readable code. All tiny methods are marked as protected, so you can view them by enabling protected descriptions in the docs.

Tiny | Method | Tiny | Method
mt | moveTo | lt | lineTo
a/at | arc / arcTo | bt | bezierCurveTo
qt | quadraticCurveTo (also curveTo) | r | rect
cp | closePath | c | clear
f | beginFill | lf | beginLinearGradientFill
rf | beginRadialGradientFill | bf | beginBitmapFill
ef | endFill | ss / sd | setStrokeStyle / setStrokeDash
s | beginStroke | ls | beginLinearGradientStroke
rs | beginRadialGradientStroke | bs | beginBitmapStroke
es | endStroke | dr | drawRect
rr | drawRoundRect | rc | drawRoundRectComplex
dc | drawCircle | de | drawEllipse
dp | drawPolyStar | p | decodePath

Here is the above example, using the tiny API instead.

     myGraphics.s("red").f("blue").r(20, 20, 100, 50);

### `append`

(

- `command`
- `clean`

)
Graphics chainable

Defined in `append:988`

Appends a graphics command object to the graphics queue. Command objects expose an "exec" method that accepts two parameters: the Context2D to operate on, and an arbitrary data object passed into draw. The latter will usually be the Shape instance that called draw.

This method is used internally by Graphics methods, such as drawCircle, but can also be used directly to insert built-in or custom graphics commands. For example:

        // attach data to our shape, so we can access it during the draw:
        myShape.color = "red";

        // append a Circle command object:
        myShape.graphics.append(new Graphics.Circle(50, 50, 30));

        // append a custom command object with an exec method that sets the fill style
        // based on the shape's data, and then fills the circle.
        myShape.graphics.append({exec:function(ctx, shape) {
            ctx.fillStyle = shape.color;
            ctx.fill();
        }});

#### Parameters:

- `command` Object

  A graphics command object exposing an "exec" method.

- `clean` Boolean

  The clean param is primarily for internal use. A value of true indicates that a command does not generate a path that should be stroked or filled.

#### Returns:

Graphics:

The Graphics instance the method is called on (useful for chaining calls.)

### `decodePath`

(

- `str`

)
Graphics chainable

Defined in `decodePath:1022`

Decodes a compact encoded path string into a series of draw instructions. This format is not intended to be human readable, and is meant for use by authoring tools. The format uses a base64 character set, with each character representing 6 bits, to define a series of draw commands.

Each command is comprised of a single "header" character followed by a variable number of alternating x and y position values. Reading the header bits from left to right (most to least significant): bits 1 to 3 specify the type of operation (0-moveTo, 1-lineTo, 2-quadraticCurveTo, 3-bezierCurveTo, 4-closePath, 5-7 unused). Bit 4 indicates whether position values use 12 bits (2 characters) or 18 bits (3 characters), with a one indicating the latter. Bits 5 and 6 are currently unused.

Following the header is a series of 0 (closePath), 2 (moveTo, lineTo), 4 (quadraticCurveTo), or 6 (bezierCurveTo) parameters. These parameters are alternating x/y positions represented by 2 or 3 characters (as indicated by the 4th bit in the command char). These characters consist of a 1 bit sign (1 is negative, 0 is positive), followed by an 11 (2 char) or 17 (3 char) bit integer value. All position values are in tenths of a pixel. Except in the case of move operations which are absolute, this value is a delta from the previous x or y position (as appropriate).

For example, the string "A3cAAMAu4AAA" represents a line starting at -150,0 and ending at 150,0.
A - bits 000000. First 3 bits (000) indicate a moveTo operation. 4th bit (0) indicates 2 chars per parameter.
n0 - 110111011100. Absolute x position of -150.0px. First bit indicates a negative value, remaining bits indicate 1500 tenths of a pixel.
AA - 000000000000. Absolute y position of 0.
I - 001100. First 3 bits (001) indicate a lineTo operation. 4th bit (1) indicates 3 chars per parameter.
Au4 - 000000101110111000. An x delta of 300.0px, which is added to the previous x value of -150.0px to provide an absolute position of +150.0px.
AAA - 000000000000000000. A y delta value of 0.

A tiny API method "p" also exists.

#### Parameters:

- `str` String

  The path string to decode.

#### Returns:

Graphics:

The Graphics instance the method is called on (useful for chaining calls.)

### `dp`

(

- `radius` Number

  The outer radius of the shape.

### `store`

() Graphics chainable

Defined in `store:1094`

Stores all graphics commands so they won't be executed in future draws. Calling store() a second time adds to the existing store. This also affects `drawAsPath()`.

This is useful in cases where you are creating vector graphics in an iterative manner (ex. generative art), so that only new graphics need to be drawn (which can provide huge performance benefits), but you wish to retain all of the vector instructions for later use (ex. scaling, modifying, or exporting).

Note that calling store() will force the active path (if any) to be ended in a manner similar to changing the fill or stroke.

For example, consider a application where the user draws lines with the mouse. As each line segment (or collection of segments) are added to a Shape, it can be rasterized using updateCache, and then stored, so that it can be redrawn at a different scale when the application is resized, or exported to SVG.

    // set up cache:
    myShape.cache(0,0,500,500,scale);

    // when the user drags, draw a new line:
    myShape.graphics.moveTo(oldX,oldY).lineTo(newX,newY);
    // then draw it into the existing cache:
    myShape.updateCache("source-over");
    // store the new line, so it isn't redrawn next time:
    myShape.store();

    // then, when the window resizes, we can re-render at a different scale:
    // first, unstore all our lines:
    myShape.unstore();
    // then cache using the new scale:
    myShape.cache(0,0,500,500,newScale);
    // finally, store the existing commands again:
    myShape.store();

#### Returns:

Graphics:

The Graphics instance the method is called on (useful for chaining calls.)

### `toString`

() String

Defined in `toString:1171`

Returns a string representation of this object.

#### Returns:

String:

a string representation of the instance.

### `unstore`

() Graphics chainable

Defined in `unstore:1137`

Unstores any graphics commands that were previously stored using store so that they will be executed in subsequent draw calls.

#### Returns:

Graphics:

The Graphics instance the method is called on (useful for chaining calls.)

## Properties

### `_activeInstructions`

Array protected

Defined in `_activeInstructions:217`

Uncommitted instructions.

### `_commitIndex`

Number protected

Defined in `_commitIndex:209`

Indicates the last instruction index that was committed.

### `_ctx`

CanvasRenderingContext2D protected static

Defined in `_ctx:377`

### `_dirty`

Boolean protected

Defined in `_dirty:225`

This indicates that there have been changes to the activeInstruction list since the last updateInstructions call.

Default: false

### `_fill`

Fill protected

Defined in `_fill:195`

### `_instructions`

Array protected

Defined in `_instructions:202`

### `_oldStrokeDash`

StrokeDash protected

Defined in `_oldStrokeDash:181`

### `_oldStrokeStyle`

StrokeStyle protected

Defined in `_oldStrokeStyle:167`

### `_storeIndex`

Number protected

Defined in `_storeIndex:234`

Index to draw from if a store operation has happened.

Default: 0

### `_stroke`

Stroke protected

Defined in `_stroke:153`

### `_strokeDash`

StrokeDash protected

Defined in `_strokeDash:174`

### `_strokeIgnoreScale`

Boolean protected

Defined in `_strokeIgnoreScale:188`

### `_strokeStyle`

StrokeStyle protected

Defined in `_strokeStyle:160`

### `BASE_64`

Object final static

Defined in `BASE_64:335`

Map of Base64 characters to values. Used by decodePath.

### `beginCmd`

Graphics.BeginPath static

Defined in `beginCmd:326`

A reusable instance of Graphics/BeginPath to avoid unnecessary instantiation.

### `command`

Object

Defined in `command:140`

Holds a reference to the last command that was created or appended. For example, you could retain a reference to a Fill command in order to dynamically update the color later by using: myFill = myGraphics.beginFill("red").command; // update color later: myFill.style = "yellow";

### `instructions`

Array

Defined in `instructions:402`

Returns the graphics instructions array. Each entry is a graphics command object (ex. Graphics.Fill, Graphics.Rect) Modifying the returned array directly is not recommended, and is likely to result in unexpected behaviour.

This property is mainly intended for introspection of the instructions (ex. for graphics export).

### `STROKE_CAPS_MAP`

Array final static

Defined in `STROKE_CAPS_MAP:345`

Maps numeric values for the caps parameter of setStrokeStyle to corresponding string values. This is primarily for use with the tiny API. The mappings are as follows: 0 to "butt", 1 to "round", and 2 to "square". For example, to set the line caps to "square":

     myGraphics.ss(16, 2);

### `STROKE_JOINTS_MAP`

Array final static

Defined in `STROKE_JOINTS_MAP:361`

Maps numeric values for the joints parameter of setStrokeStyle to corresponding string values. This is primarily for use with the tiny API. The mappings are as follows: 0 to "miter", 1 to "round", and 2 to "bevel". For example, to set the line joints to "bevel":

     myGraphics.ss(16, 0, 2);
