If I want to create a new graphic with a set of parameters to be used every time, what's the best way to do that?

I'm trying this atm:



I just want to create a circle each time, and creating the above like this:



I get several errors in the browser



Is this the best way to do it? I have several shapes & the same event will draw the right shape depending on other and just want to be able to create a new instance where the pointer is.

You want to extend Circle so you can get all of its default behavior.



Thanks,

Hello Stuart.

Maybe you may give a look at Attributes guide (Attribute Configuration Properties section - see valueFn):

http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/attribute/

Recap for valueFn: A function, the return value of which is the value for the attribute. This property can be used instead of the value property for static configurations, if you need to set default values which require access to instance state ("this.something").

Hope that helps,
