Examples

<script type="text/javascript" src="raphael-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="raphael.free_transform.js"></script>

<div id="holder" style="height: 100%;"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
	var paper = Raphael(0, 0, 500, 500);

	var rect = paper
		.rect(200, 200, 100, 100)
		.attr('fill', '#f00')
		;

	// Add freeTransform
	var ft = paper.freeTransform(rect);

	// Hide freeTransform handles
	ft.hideHandles();

	// Show hidden freeTransform handles
	ft.showHandles();

	// Apply transformations programmatically
	ft.attrs.rotate = 45;

	ft.apply();

	// Remove freeTransform completely
	ft.unplug();

	// Add freeTransform with options and callback
	ft = paper.freeTransform(rect, { keepRatio: true }, function(ft, events) {
		console.log(ft.attrs);
	});

	// Change options on the fly
	ft.setOpts({ keepRatio: false });
</script>

Options

animate: true | { delay: num, easing: string } | false

Animate transformations. Works best in combination with apply() (see the functions section below).

Default: { delay: 700, easing: 'linear' }

attrs: { fill: hex, stroke: hex }

Sets the attributes of the handles.

Default: { fill: '#fff', stroke: '#000' }

boundary: { x: int, y: int, width: int, height: int } | false

Limits the drag area of the handles.

Default: dimensions of the paper

distance: num

Sets the distance of the handles from the center of the element (num times radius).

Default: 1.3

drag: true | [ 'center', 'self' ] | false

Enables/disables dragging.

Default: [ 'center', 'self' ]

draw: [ 'bbox', 'circle' ]

Additional elements to draw.

Default: false

keepRatio: true | [ 'axisX', 'axisY', 'bboxCorners', 'bboxSides' ] | false

Scale axes together or individually.

Default: false

range: { rotate: [ num, num ], scale: [ num, num ] }

Limit the range of transformation.

Default: { rotate: [ -180, 180 ], scale: [ 0, 99999 ] }

rotate: true | [ 'axisX', 'axisY', 'self' ]|false

Enables/disables rotating.

Default: [ 'axisX', 'axisY' ]

scale: true | [ 'axisX', 'axisY', 'bboxCorners', 'bboxSides' ] | false

Enables/disables scaling.

Default: [ 'axisX', 'axisY', 'bboxCorners', 'bboxSides' ]

snap: { rotate: num, scale: num, drag: num }:

Snap transformations to num degrees (rotate) or pixels (scale, drag).

Default: { rotate: 0, scale: 0, drag: 0 }

snapDist: { rotate: num, scale: num, drag: num }

Snap distance in degrees (rotate) or pixels (scale, drag).

Default: { rotate: 0, scale: 0, drag: 7 }

size: num | { axes: num, bboxCorners: num, bboxSides: num, center: num }

Sets the radius of the handles in pixels.

Default: 5

Callback

A callback function can be specified to capture changes and events.

Functions

apply()

Programmatically apply transformations (see the example above).

hideHandles( opts )

Removes handles but keeps values set by the plugin in memory. By default removes all drag events from the elements. If you'd like to keep then while the handles are hidden, pass {undrag: false} to hideHandles().

showHandles()

Shows handles hidden with hideHandles().

setOpts( object, function )

Update options and callback.

unplug()

Removes handles and deletes all values set by the plugin.

updateHandles()

Updates handles to reflect the element's transformations.
