There is no need to rotate the whole element. Try to add a transform
attribute to joint.dia.basic.Rect
model.
rect: { transform: 'rotate(45)' }
The other option would be to use joint.dia.basic.Path
model.
var diamond = new joint.shapes.basic.Path({
size: { width: 100, height: 100 },
attrs: {
path: { d: 'M 30 0 L 60 30 30 60 0 30 z' },
text: {
text: 'Diamond',
'ref-y': .5 // basic.Path text is originally positioned under the element
}
}
});
In order to achieve a hexagon shape, use the joint.dia.basic.Path
model again, but this time use the following path data.
path: { d: 'M 50 0 L 0 20 0 80 50 100 100 80 100 20 z'}
Last but least you can create a custom shape with SVG Polygon in its markup.
