S.JS

The web canvas is a powerful tool, the API is fairly straight forward, and provides us with the tools to draw almost anything. Circles, squares and lines are the building blocks we have used since the dawn of time...

That said, there is also one other basic shape... that we all learn in school... passed down through generations... as old as time... no one really knows its origin. That shape is:

This polyfill bridges the missing link, moving the canvas from a tool for children, to a tool for adults.

Syntax

void ctx.s(x, y, width, height);

Parameters

x The x axis of the coordinate for the S starting point.

y The y axis of the coordinate for the S starting point.

width The S's width.

height The S's height.

Usage

The s function works similar to canvas's rect functionality. Once the script is included on the page, you can run both the stroke and fill functions.

HTML

<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>

JavaScript

var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx.fillStyle = "rebeccapurple";
ctx.s(10, 10, 100, 100);
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
