How to show SVG image on canvas?
It has not always been possible for browsers to draw *.svg
images onto the canvas. However, the situation has improved and you currently have several options available if you want to render a vector image with Konva
:
Option 1: Use Konva.Path
Use Konva.Path. This method is good for simple path shapes. If you have a large SVG with many paths you, you may need to split it manually into several Konva.Path
shapes.
Option 2: Use Konva.Image
Use Konva.Image shape with svg image
Konva.Image.fromURL('/image.svg', (image) => { |
This method works well in many cases, but is not fully cross-compatible. For example, some SVG may not be visible in the Firefox browser (there is a workaround for that case).
Option 3: Use an external library to render SVG to canvas
Use an external library (for example, canvg) to draw the SVG into the <canvas>
element. And then use that canvas for Konva.Image.
This method has been tested in at least one large production app, with proven reliability and rendering accuracy.
Demo
Below is a demo that shows drawing natively and with a library.
