set-ctx

set-ctx(
callback: function,
) 

An advanced element that allows you to modify the current canvas context. Note: The transformation matrix (transform) is rounded after calling the callback function and therefore might be not exactly the matrix specified. This is due to rounding errors and should not cause any problems.

You can store shared context data under a key in the ctx.shared-data dictionary. The ctx.shared-data dictionary is not scoped by group or scope elements and can be used for canvas global state.

// Setting a custom transformation matrix
set-ctx(ctx => {
  let mat = ((1, 0, .5, 0),
             (0, 1,  0, 0),
             (0, 0,  1, 0),
             (0, 0,  0, 1))
  ctx.transform = mat
  return ctx
})
circle((z: 0), fill: red)
circle((z: 1), fill: blue)
circle((z: 2), fill: green)

callback:

function

A function that accepts the context dictionary and only returns a new one.
