<li>width <em>number</em></li>
<li>height <em>number</em></li>
</ol>
<p>or</p>
<ol>
<li>x <em>number</em></li>
<li>y <em>number</em></li>
<li>width <em>number</em></li>
<li>height <em>number</em></li>
</ol>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<pre class="javascript code"><code>// Each of the following examples create a canvas that is 320px wide by 200px high
// Canvas is created at the viewport's 10,50 coordinate
var paper = Raphael(10, 50, 320, 200);
// Canvas is created at the top left corner of the #notepad element (or its top right corner in dir="rtl" elements)
var paper = Raphael(document.getElementById("notepad"), 320, 200);
// Same as above
var paper = Raphael("notepad", 320, 200);</code></pre>
<h2 id="Element">
Element’s generic methods
</h2>
<p>
Each object created on the canvas shares these same generic methods:
</p>
<h3 id="node">

Gives you a reference to the DOM object, so you can assign event handlers or just mess around.
</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<pre class="javascript code"><code>var c = paper.circle(10, 10, 10); // draw a circle at coordinate 10,10 with radius of 10
c.node.onclick = function () { c.attr("fill", "red"); };</code></pre>
<h3 id="paper">
paper
</h3>
<p>
Internal reference to “paper” where object drawn. Mainly for use in plugins and element extensions.

}</code></pre>
<h3 id="remove">
remove
</h3>
<p>
Removes element from the DOM. You can’t use it after this method call.

</ol>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<pre class="javascript code"><code>var c = paper.circle(10, 10, 10);
c.scale(1.5, 1.5); // makes the circle 1.5 times larger
c.scale(.5, .75); // makes the circle half as wide, and 75% as high</code></pre>
<h3 id="attr">
attr

<h3 id="plugins-canvas">
Adding your own methods to canvas
</h3>
<p>
You can add your own method to the canvas. For example if you want to draw pie chart, you can create your own pie chart function and ship it as a Raphaël plugin. To do this you need to extend Raphael.fn object. Please note that you can create your own namespaces inside fn object. Methods will be run in context of canvas anyway. You should alter fn object before Raphaël instance was created, otherwise it will take no effect.
</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<pre class="javascript code"><code>Raphael.fn.arrow = function (x1, y1, x2, y2, size) {
return this.path(// some code here);
};
// or create namespace
Raphael.fn.mystuff = {
arrow: function () {…},
star: function () {…},
// etc…
};
var paper = Raphael(10, 10, 630, 480);
// then use it
paper.arrow(10, 10, 30, 30, 5).attr({fill: "#f00"});
paper.mystuff.arrow();
paper.mystuff.star();
</code></pre>
<h3 id="plugins-elements">
Adding your own methods to elements
</h3>
<p>
You can add your own method to elements. This is usefull when you want to hack default functionality or want to wrap some common transformation or attributes in one method. In difference to canvas mathods, you can redefine element method at any time.
</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<pre class="javascript code"><code>Raphael.el.red = function () {
this.attr({fill: "#f00"});
};
// then use it
paper.circle(100, 100, 20).red();
</code></pre>
<h3 id="colour">
Supported colour formats
</h3>
<p>
You could specify colour in this formats:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Colour name (“red”, “green”, “cornflowerblue”, etc)</li>
<li>#••• — shortened HTML colour: (“#000”, “#fc0”, etc)</li>
<li>#•••••• — full length HTML colour: (“#000000”, “#bd2300”)</li>
<li>rgb(•••, •••, •••) — red, green and blue channels’ values: (“rgb(200, 100, 0)”)</li>
<li>rgb(•••%, •••%, •••%) — same as above, but in %: (“rgb(100%, 175%, 0%)”)</li>
<li>hsb(•••, •••, •••) — hue, saturation and brightness values: (“hsb(0.5, 0.25, 1)”)</li>
<li>hsb(•••%, •••%, •••%) — same as above, but in %</li>
<li>hsl(•••, •••, •••) — same as hsb</li>
<li>hsl(•••%, •••%, •••%) — same as hsb</li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<pre class="javascript code"><code>paper.circle(100, 100, 20).attr({fill: "hsb(1, 255, 200)", stroke: "red"});</code></pre>
<h3 id="safari">
safari
</h3>
<p>
There is an inconvenient rendering bug is Safari (WebKit): sometimes the rendering should be forced. This method should help with dealing with this bug.
</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<pre class="javascript code"><code>paper.safari();</code></pre>
<h3 id="ninja-mode">
“Ninja Mode”
</h3>
<p>
If you want to leave no trace of Raphaël (Well, Raphaël creates only one global variable <code>Raphael</code>, but anyway.) You can use <code>ninja</code> method.
</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<pre class="javascript code"><code>(function (local_raphael) {
var paper = local_raphael(10, 10, 320, 200);
…
})(Raphael.ninja());
</code></pre>
