is it possible to ALWAYS center an object on a fabricjs canvas?

Answer 1

Fabric objects have the following methods for centering:

obj.center();  // Centers object vertically and horizontally on canvas to which is was added last
obj.centerV(); // Centers object vertically on canvas to which it was added last
obj.centerH(); // Centers object horizontally on canvas to which it was added last

I don't see anything about offset in the docs.

Something like the following would probably work

var canvas = new fabric.Canvas('c');

$(window).resize(function(){

     var w = $(window).width();
     var h = $(window).height();
     var center = {x:w / 2, y:h / 2);

     canvas.setDimensions({width:w,height:h});
     canvas.forEachObject(function(obj){

        obj.set({
            left : center.x + obj.offsetLeft,
            top : center.y + + obj.offsetTop,
        });

        obj.setCoords();

    });

// need to call calcOffset whenever the canvas resizes
canvas.calcOffset();
canvas.renderAll();

});

Or you can center the object like so

    // add the image object 
    Canvas.add(oImg)
    // set the object to be centered to the Canvas
    Canvas.centerObject(oImg);

    Canvas.setActiveObject(oImg);
    Canvas.renderAll();
