CreateJS: EaselJS - Free Transform Tool

Build Status

Provides controls for transforming position, size, and rotation of CreateJS Display Objects.

Features

  • Transformations are relative to the registration point (ob.regX, obj.regY), which you can choose.
  • Un-obtrusive to your createjs project scene. The tool sits in it's own container layer.

Demo

See the tool in action at: https://jedateach.github.io/createjs-free-transform-tool

Source code for demo

Usage

In order to use this tool you have to:

  1. add a new layer to put the transform tool into

    var top = new createjs.Container();
    top.name = "top";
    stage.addChild(top);
  2. add the transform tool inside the top layer

    var selectTool = new createjs.util.FreeTransformTool();
    selectTool.name = "transform";
    top.addChild(selectTool);
  3. to select an when the user clicks it

    object.on("click", function(evt) {
      selectTool.select(evt.currentTarget, stage);
    });
  4. to unselect when user clicks the stage

    stage.addEventListener("click", function() {
      selectTool.unselect();
    });

Text handling

There is a known issue meaning that text rendering is inconsistent across browsers, when using any textBaseline value other than "alphabetic".

To get around this issue, we've supplied a file createjs.text-fix.js, which provides a fix by forcing the alphabetic baseline, and performs vertical offset to position text as if it were positioned "top".
