Function: getTrueRect()

getTrueRect(rect, computedStyle): DOMRect

Defined in: packages/board/src/utils/canvas-position-dimension.ts:599

Calculates the actual content rectangle excluding padding and borders.

Parameters

rect

DOMRect

The element's bounding client rectangle

computedStyle

CSSStyleDeclaration

The computed CSS styles for the element

Returns

DOMRect

DOMRect representing the content area only

Remarks

Browser's getBoundingClientRect() includes padding and borders, but for coordinate transformations we need the actual drawable content area.

This function subtracts padding and border from all four sides to get the "true" content rectangle. This is essential for accurate coordinate conversions between window and canvas space.

Example

const canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
const rect = canvas.getBoundingClientRect();
const style = window.getComputedStyle(canvas);
const contentRect = getTrueRect(rect, style);

// contentRect.width is less than rect.width if padding/borders exist
console.log(`Full size: ${rect.width}x${rect.height}`);
console.log(`Content size: ${contentRect.width}x${contentRect.height}`);
