When new keyword is missing, unhelpful error is thrown

[Chad Saunders]

When this line of code is called...

var ctx = C2S(304.797, 26.109);

... then it gets the error...

Cannot set property 'width' of undefined

When I set a breakpoint in canvas2svg on line 196 in Chrome, sure enough "this" is undefined.

Sometimes if I step through it slowly enough though, "this" will be "Window". And even in that circumstance, I get this error...

Object [object global] has no method '__setDefaultStyles'

on line 202...

this.__setDefaultStyles();

Unless I'm mistaken you're missing the new keyword. So try:

var ctx = new C2S(304.797, 26.109);

I should add an explicit warning that you're missing the keyword. Thanks for the report.

[Chad Saunders]

Ah yes, that seems to have fixed that. Thank you!

This is now fixed in v1.0.1 When C2S is called as a function (without new) this will correctly return a new C2S object. Please be aware that I've updated the signature to export to svg for ease of use and easier debugging (won't happen again in the future). So: ctx.toString() is now:

var ctx = new C2S({width:200, height:300});
ctx.fillRect(0,0,100,100);
//etc
ctx.getSerializedSvg(true); //serialized svg (if true is passed convert named entities to numbed entities)
ctx.getSvg();//inline svg
