🚀 Features

  • Give embedded canvas the same look as canvas view.
  • Navigate using panning and zooming to move across the canvas.
  • Adjust the height of the embedded canvas in the note.
  • Work on both page preview and canvas.
  • Support Advanced Canvas plugin.

📦 Installation

  • Manual
    • Create a folder named better-embedded-canvas under YOUR_VAULT_NAME/.obsidian/plugins.
    • Place manifest.json, main.js, and style.css from the latest release into the folder.
    • Enable it through the "Community plugin" setting tab.
  • In-app (coming soon...)
  • Using BRAT.

✍️ Usage

Use internal link prefixed with an exclamation mark (!) to embed a canvas. For example:

![[My canvas.canvas]]

You can also adjust the height of the canvas by adding a bar (|) and number to the link destination. For example:

![[My canvas.canvas|500]]

[!Note]

The minimum height of an embedded canvas is 300. The height adjusted below 300 will be rounded up to 300.

⚠️ Limitation

Embedded canvas cannot be edited directly. To do that, open the canvas directly.
