Disable Centered Rotation of Triangle Using Fabric.js
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to disable the centered rotation of Triangle using FabricJS. Triangle is one of the various shapes provided by FabricJS. In order to create a triangle, we will have to create an instance of fabric.Triangle class and add it to the canvas.
By default, all objects in FabricJS use their center as the point of rotation. However, we can change this behaviour by using the centeredRotation property.
Syntax
new fabric.Triangle({ centeredRotation: Boolean }: Object)
Parameters
Options (optional) This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our triangle. Using this parameter, properties such as colour, cursor, stroke width, and a lot of other properties can be changed related to the object of which centeredRotation is a property.
Options Keys
centeredRotation This property accepts a Boolean value and allows us to control whether an object uses center point as its origin of transformation when rotated via controls. Its default value is true.
Example 1
Default behaviour of rotation of Triangle in FabricJS
Let's see a code example that depicts the default behaviour of a triangle object. Since centeredRotation property is set to true by default, the triangle object uses its center as the point of rotation.

<h2>Default behaviour of rotation of Triangle in FabricJS</h2>
<p>Rotate the triangle to see the default behaviour of centeredRotation</p>
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script>
// Initiate a canvas instance
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
// Initiate a triangle object
var triangle = new fabric.Triangle({
left: 105,
top: 60,
width: 100,
height: 70,
fill: "#deb887",
});
// Add it to the canvas
canvas.add(triangle);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Example 2
Passing centeredRotation key with the value as "false"
Now that we've seen the default behaviour, let us see a code example to understand what happens when the centeredRotation property is assigned a False value.

<h2>Passing centeredRotation as key with the value "false"</h2>
<p>Rotate the triangle and notice that now its center of rotation has changed. The triangle rotates around one of its corners instead of its center.</p>

<script>
// Initiate a canvas instance
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
// Initiate a triangle object
var triangle = new fabric.Triangle({
left: 105,
top: 60,
width: 100,
height: 70,
fill: "#deb887",
centeredRotation: false,
});
// Add it to the canvas
canvas.add(triangle);
