@types/d3-path

What is @types/d3-path?

The @types/d3-path package provides TypeScript type definitions for the d3-path module, which is a part of the D3.js library for creating and manipulating paths in SVG. It allows TypeScript developers to use d3-path with type checking and autocompletion features in their development environment.

What are @types/d3-path's main functionalities?

Path Creation

This feature allows the creation of a new path using the d3-path module. The moveTo and lineTo methods are used to move the cursor to a point and draw a line to another point, respectively.

{"import { path } from 'd3-path';\nconst p = path();\np.moveTo(100, 100);\np.lineTo(200, 200);\nconsole.log(p.toString()); // M100,100L200,200"}

Arc Drawing

This feature enables drawing arcs as part of the path. The arc method takes parameters such as the center coordinates, radius, and start and end angles to define the arc.

{"import { path } from 'd3-path';\nconst p = path();\np.arc(100, 100, 50, 0, Math.PI / 2);\nconsole.log(p.toString()); // M150,100A50,50,0,0,1,100,150"}

Rectangular Paths

This feature is used to create rectangular paths easily. The rect method takes the top-left corner coordinates and the width and height of the rectangle.

{"import { path } from 'd3-path';\nconst p = path();\np.rect(50, 50, 100, 100);\nconsole.log(p.toString()); // M50,50h100v100h-100Z"}

Bezier and Quadratic Curves

This feature allows the drawing of Bezier and quadratic curves. The quadraticCurveTo and bezierCurveTo methods are used to define these curves with control points.

{"import { path } from 'd3-path';\nconst p = path();\np.moveTo(10, 90);\np.quadraticCurveTo(50, 10, 90, 90);\np.bezierCurveTo(130, 10, 170, 10, 210, 90);\nconsole.log(p.toString()); // M10,90Q50,10,90,90C130,10,170,10,210,90"}

Other packages similar to @types/d3-path

fabric.js

Fabric.js is a canvas library that allows you to work with SVG-like objects on a canvas element. It provides more general canvas manipulation features compared to the specific path manipulation in d3-path.

raphael

Raphael is a small JavaScript library that simplifies working with vector graphics on the web. It covers a wider range of vector graphics features, whereas d3-path focuses on path creation and manipulation.

two.js

Two.js is a renderer-agnostic two-dimensional drawing API that supports SVG, Canvas, and WebGL. It offers a broader scope of drawing capabilities compared to the path-specific features of d3-path.
