Disable Centered Rotation of Ellipse in Fabric.js
In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to disable the centered rotation of Ellipse using FabricJS. Ellipse is one of the various shapes provided by FabricJS. In order to create a ellipse, we will have to create an instance of fabric.Ellipse 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.Ellipse({ centeredRotation: Boolean }: Object)
Parameters
options (optional) − This parameter is an Object which provides additional customizations to our ellipse. Using this parameter color, 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 that allows us to control whether an object uses its center point as origin of transformation when rotated via controls. Its default value is True.
Example 1
Default behaviour of rotation of Ellipse in FabricJS
Let's see an example that depicts the default behaviour of an ellipse object. Since centeredRotation property is set to "true" by default, the ellipse object uses its center as the point of rotation.

<p>Select the object and rotate it. The ellipse will by default rotate around its center. This is the default behavior.</p>
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script>
// Initiate a canvas instance
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
// Initiate an ellipse instance
var ellipse = new fabric.Ellipse({
left: 215,
top: 100,
fill: "white",
rx: 90,
ry: 50,
stroke: "#c154c1",
strokeWidth: 5,
borderColor: "#daa520",
});
// Adding it to the canvas
canvas.add(ellipse);
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
</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 to understand what happens when the centeredRotation property is assigned a "false" value. Here the ellipse no longer uses the center of the ellipse as the origin of rotation but uses one of the edges instead.

<p>Select the object and try to rotate it. The ellipse will not rotate around its center because we have set <b>centeredRotation</b> to False. </p>
<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>
<script>
// Initiate a canvas instance
var canvas = new fabric.Canvas("canvas");
// Initiate an ellipse instance
var ellipse = new fabric.Ellipse({
left: 215,
top: 100,
fill: "white",
rx: 90,
ry: 50,
stroke: "#c154c1",
strokeWidth: 5,
borderColor: "#daa520",
centeredRotation: false,
});
// Adding it to the canvas
canvas.add(ellipse);
canvas.setWidth(document.body.scrollWidth);
canvas.setHeight(250);
