jcanvas resize text by width and height

Question

I'm using jcanvas and I need to resize text by width and height. Actually the library offers an option to scale by X and Y but I need to do the same with the width and height properties.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

The only way to resize text in jCanvas is with the scaleX, scaleY, or scale property. The width and height properties (for text drawings) are read-only, so you can't change them yourself.

$("canvas").drawText({
    fillStyle: "#000",
    x: 100, y: 100,
    fontFamily: "sans-serif",
    fontSize: 36,
    text: "This text is squished",
    scaleX: 0.5
});
