Rough.js
Rough.js is a small (sketchy, hand-drawn-like, style. The library defines primitives to draw lines, curves, arcs, polygons, circles, and ellipses. It also supports drawing SVG paths.
Rough.js works with both Canvas and SVG.
Install
Install from npm:
npm install --save roughjsAnd use it in your code:
import rough from 'roughjs';Usage
View Full Rough.js API is available on Github.
const rc = rough.canvas(document.getElementById('canvas'));
rc.rectangle(10, 10, 200, 200); or SVG
const rc = rough.svg(svg);
let node = rc.rectangle(10, 10, 200, 200);
svg.appendChild(node);Lines and Ellipses
rc.circle(80, 120, 50);
rc.ellipse(300, 100, 150, 80);
rc.line(80, 120, 300, 100); Filling
rc.circle(50, 50, 80, { fill: 'red' });
rc.rectangle(120, 15, 80, 80, { fill: 'red' });
rc.circle(50, 150, 80, {
fill: "rgb(10,150,10)",
fillWeight: 3
});
rc.rectangle(220, 15, 80, 80, {
fill: 'red',
hachureAngle: 60,
hachureGap: 8
});
rc.rectangle(120, 105, 80, 80, {
fill: 'rgba(255,0,200,0.2)',
fillStyle: 'solid'
});Fill styles can be: hachure(default), solid, zigzag, cross-hatch, dots, sunburst, dashed, or zigzag-line
Sketching style
rc.rectangle(15, 15, 80, 80, { roughness: 0.5, fill: 'red' });
rc.rectangle(120, 15, 80, 80, { roughness: 2.8, fill: 'blue' });
rc.rectangle(220, 15, 80, 80, { bowing: 6, stroke: 'green', strokeWidth: 3 });SVG Paths
rc.path('M80 80 A 45 45, 0, 0, 0, 125 125 L 125 80 Z', { fill: 'green' });
rc.path('M230 80 A 45 45, 0, 1, 0, 275 125 L 275 80 Z', { fill: 'purple' });
rc.path('M80 230 A 45 45, 0, 0, 1, 125 275 L 125 230 Z', { fill: 'red' });
rc.path('M230 230 A 45 45, 0, 1, 1, 275 275 L 275 230 Z', { fill: 'blue' });SVG Path with simplification:
