Struct iced::widget::canvas::Canvas

pub struct Canvas<Message, P> where
    P: Program<Message>,  { /* fields omitted */ }

This is supported on feature="canvas" or feature="glow_canvas" only.

A widget capable of drawing 2D graphics.

Examples

The repository has a couple of examples showcasing how to use a Canvas:

• clock, an application that uses the Canvas widget to draw a clock and its hands to display the current time.
• game_of_life, an interactive version of the Game of Life, invented by John Conway.
• solar_system, an animated solar system drawn using the Canvas widget and showcasing how to compose different transforms.

Drawing a simple circle

If you want to get a quick overview, here's how we can draw a simple circle:

use iced::canvas::{self, Canvas, Cursor, Fill, Frame, Geometry, Path, Program};
use iced::{Color, Rectangle};

// First, we define the data we need for drawing
#[derive(Debug)]
struct Circle {
    radius: f32,
}

// Then, we implement the `Program` trait
impl Program<()> for Circle {
    fn draw(&self, bounds: Rectangle, _cursor: Cursor) -> Vec<Geometry>{
        // We prepare a new `Frame`
        let mut frame = Frame::new(bounds.size());

        // We create a `Path` representing a simple circle
        let circle = Path::circle(frame.center(), self.radius);

        // And fill it with some color
        frame.fill(&circle, Color::BLACK);

        // Finally, we produce the geometry
        vec![frame.into_geometry()]
    }
}

// Finally, we simply use our `Circle` to create the `Canvas`!
let canvas = Canvas::new(Circle { radius: 50.0 });
