DEPRECATED

Created in 2018 - quite old now and not maintained.

That was actually fun to build back then. And Math from here can be still used... Math is never old. But nothing advanced is really here. just simple trigonometry.

jQuery.line plugin

---

jQuery plugin to draw lines using single DIV and pure CSS3

Demo:

Demo

Using:

var linediv =                   $.line(x1, y1, x2, y2, opt, callback);
var linediv = $('parent element').line(x1, y1, x2, y2, opt, callback);

or

radians and distance

var linediv =                   $.line(x1, y1, {rad: Math.PI/4, dis: 200}, opt, callback);
var linediv = $('parent element').line(x1, y1, {rad: Math.PI/4, dis: 200}, opt, callback);

or

angle and distance

var linediv =                   $.line(x1, y1, {ang: 45, dis: 200}, opt, callback);
var linediv = $('parent element').line(x1, y1, {ang: 45, dis: 200}, opt, callback);

Default options are:

{
    create: $('<div></div>'), // default it's div, you can change to $('<span></span>')
    cls: '_line', 
    id : false,
    css: {  
        // you can change styles of div in js here through $(..).css()
        // but be careful that you can override here property used
        // to calculations ('width') 
        // which is defined right below        
        height: '0',
        zIndex: '999',
        zoom: 1
    },
    width: 1,
    style: 'solid',
    color: 'black'
}

Callback:

In context of callback you have two parameters, one is div representing line, and second used options

$.line(x1, y1, x2, y2, opt, function (div, opt) {
    ...
})
