In this tutorial, we will learn how to set the position of a Line object relative to its origin using FabricJS. Line element is one of the basic elements provided in FabricJS. It is used to create straight lines. Since line elements are geometrically one-dimensional and contain no interiors, they are never filled. We can create a line object by creating an instance of fabric.Line, specifying the x and y coordinates of the line and adding it to the canvas. To set the position of a Line object relative to the origin, we use the setPositionByOrigin method.
setPositionByOrigin(pos: fabric.Point, originX: String, originY: String): void
pos - This property accepts a fabric.Point value that allows us to set the new position of the object. < /p>
originX - This property accepts a String value which allows us to set the horizontal origin. Possible values are "left", "center", or "right".
originY - This property accepts a String value which allows us to set the vertical origin. Possible values are "Top", "Center", or "Bottom".
Let's look at a code example to see the default position of a Line object without using the setPositionByOrigin method.

Let's look at a code example to see what a Line object looks like when using the setPositionByOrigin method. In this example, we specify the object's new position by initializing a Point object with x and y coordinates of 500 and 100 respectively. We'll set the line object's new position, thinking of its horizontal origin as the "center" and its vertical origin as the "top."
