Introduction:
This file demonstrates how to create a shape with custom geometry in tldraw. The
shape we're creating is a simple house shape with a door. The HouseShapeUtil class
defines the behavior and appearance of our custom house shape.
[1]
The getGeometry method defines the geometric representation of our shape. This geometry
is used for hit-testing, intersection checking and other geometric calculations. We use
Polygon2d for the house body and Rectangle2d for the door. These are combined into a
Group2d to form the complete house geometry.
[2]
The component method determines how our shape is rendered. We create SVG paths for
both the house body and the door, combining them into a single path element. This
method is called when the shape needs to be drawn on the canvas. The tl-svg-container
class contains some helpful styles for rendering the svg correctly.
[3]
The indicator method renders the same path as a thin blue line when the shape is selected.
[4]
The getHouseVertices function calculates the vertices for both the house body and the door
based on the shape's dimensions. This is used by both the geometry and rendering methods
to ensure consistency in the shape's appearance.
