Question

I am using Raphael-js to position text on a canvas. Is it possible to have a background color for the text? I would like different text elements to have different backgrounds colors.

Thanks,

Answer 1

The background of text is known as “fill” and can be applied using the attr function as follows:

paper.text(50, 50, "Example").attr("fill", "#000000");

For a full listing of the properties, see the Raphael Documentation
