What is Lamp
Creating graphics using the JS Canvas can be complicated and sometimes take long. Lamp allows you to make graphics as quick as a fox. With shadows, gradients, normal 2d (and even 3d!) shapes, it makes canvas graphics as easy as pie.
Lamp can do:
- 3d
- pyramids
- 2d
- lines
- triangles
- circles
- text
- other
- shadows
- gradients
- erasing
Documentation
Importing Lamp
Create a <script> tag like this:
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/quantalabs/lamp/index.js"></script>
This imports the library to your code and enables you to use it.
2d Shapes
Lines
Use the line() function to create lines.
line(x, y, x2,y2)
Triangles
Stroke Triangles
To make a triangle with no fill, use the strokeTri() function.
strokeTri(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3)
Fill Triangles
To make a triangle with a fill, use the fillTri() function.
fillTri(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3)
Circles/Ovals
Fill Ellipses
To create a filled ellipse, use fillEllipse().
fillEllipse(x, y, r)
x and y are the center of the circle and r is the raidius.
Stroke Ellipses
To create a ellipse with no fill, use strokeEllipse().
strokeEllipse(x, y, r)
Text
To create text, use text().
text(x, y, text)
Make sure text is a string.
3d Graphics
Pyramids
To create a pyramid, use pyramid().
pyramid(x, y, height, width)
Other
Gradients
For gradients, use gradients().
graidents(color1, color2, x, y, width, height)
color1 and color2 are both string values.
Shadows
For shadows, use shadow().
shadow(color, blue, offsetX, offsetY)
color is a string value.
Erasing
To erase, use erase().
erase(x, y, width, height)
You can also use clear() to clear the whole canvas.
clear()
That's IT!
