I am trying to create code that will draw a line from point a to point b using the leaderline library. https://github.com/anseki/leader-line
It looks like the section I need to reference is under Methods
self = line.show([showEffectName[, animOptions]])
where showEffectName: 'draw' and animOptions: {duration: 500, timing: [0.58, 0, 0.42, 1]}
Here is an example shown using a button to show/hide the line
var line = new LeaderLine(startElement, endElement, {hide: true});
showButton.addEventListener('click', function() { line.show(); }, false);
hideButton.addEventListener('click', function() { line.hide(); }, false);
How do I implement the self= code into the button? I'm not even sure what self= is supposed to mean. The below code does not work
var line = new LeaderLine(startElement, endElement, {hide: true});
line.show() = line.show({showEffectName:'draw'}, {animOptions: {duration: 3000, timing: 'linear'}});
startElement.addEventListener('click', function() { line.show(); });
Here is what you are looking for
line.show('draw', {
animOptions: {
duration: 3000,
timing: [0.5, 0, 1, 0.42]
}
})And now you can call this in any function
button.addEventListener('click', function() {
line.show('draw', {
animOptions: {
duration: 3000,
timing: [0.5, 0, 1, 0.42]
}
})
});Your code does not work because you have to put only value like below.
var line = new LeaderLine(startElement, endElement, {hide: true});
startElement.addEventListener("click", function () {
line.show("draw", {duration: 3000, timing: 'linear'});
});
