useRectangle

Hook used to a rectangle.

It can be created with width and height configurations.

useRectangle({ width: 250, height: 150 });

Configuration

(RectangleConfig | undefined) useRectangle accepts following configurations:

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
widthnumber100Width of the rectangle.
heightnumber50Height of the rectangle.

extends Primitive Configuration

(PrimitiveConfig) Base configurations for all primitives.

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
scalenumber | Vertex1Scaling factor of the primitive. If Vertex is provided, it will scale x and y dimension accordingly (optional).
rotatenumber0Rotation of the primitive, in degrees, in clockwise manner (optional).
positionVertex{ x: 0, y: 0 }Moving distance away from the primitive drawing centre. By default, primitive will start drawing in origin (0, 0) (optional).
info

scale, rotate and position can be considered as transformation of polygon after drawn, where position can be considered as transform: translate of css to the primitive.

The polygon will first be scaled, then rotated and lastly, translated.

note

useRectangle always follows usePolygon which drawing vertex in counter-clockwise manner.

Returns

(Primitive) All primitive return the following properties:

PropertyTypeDescription
verticesVertex[]Vertices of the primitive.
edgesEdge[]Edges of the primitive.
facesFace[]Faces of the primitive.
centroidVertexCentroid (geometric centre) of primitive.
boundingBoxBoundingBoxSpace constraint of the primitive, with properties x, y, width and height.
svgPathstringSVG path representing the shape of the primitive.
drawToCanvas(ctx: CanvasRenderingContext2D) => voidCallback that draws the primitive to a canvas context.
modifyConfig(newConfig: Partial<RectangleConfig>) => voidCallback to update the configuration of the primitive.

Example

import { useRectangle } from "react-use-polygon";

// A rectangle
const rectangle = useRectangle({ length: 100, length: 50 });
