Crop a circle for texture

[nonamedude]

I am trying to crop a circle out for a texture from a canvas but it only seems to do rectangles.

 

var circle = PIXI.Texture.fromCanvas(circle);

 

I tried 

 

circle.crop = new PIXI.Circle(0,0, 50);

 

circle.frame = circle.crop = new PIXI.Circle(0,0, 50);

 

I even tried adding a border radius to my canvas to make it circular but it seems to ignore any styling associated with the canvas.

 

 

There must be a way to do this that i'm overlooking.

I think you either want to make the background behind the circle transparent, or use a mask. Either way, the texture will be a rectangle, it just won't look that way.
