Draw curly braces in canvas, by [@groenroos](http://twitter.com/groenroos).

* Draws a curly brace in the given space
* Can draw it in any direction
* Customize color, stroke thickness, and point placement
* No dependencies
* 973 bytes minified and gzipped

### Usage

Include `gullwings.min.js`. Then simply do;

Gullwings.init(".gullwings");

For the `init` method, you can pass either a query string, or an element object. The element you pass should be a container for the curly braces (such as a `div`); Gullwings will create its own canvas. To control the size of the curly brace, give the container a size in CSS. Gullwings will use all available space.

Optionally, you can also pass a second argument for options (detailed below).

#### Available methods

* `init` — draw some curly braces. First argument is either a query string or an element object that you want to turn into curly braces; second argument is an optional settings object.
* `destroy` — destroys instances of Gullwings. Pass either a query string or an element object as an argument to destroy specific instances, or pass nothing to destroy everything.

#### Available options

You can pass an object as the second argument for the `.init()` call, to override the default settings.

* `direction` — the direction the curly brace should face. Either "left", "right", "up" or "down". Default: *left*
* `thickness` — thickness of the stroke. Default: *1*
* `point` — the position of the point of the curly brace. If the value is a float from 0 to 1, Gullwings treats it as a percentage (0.5 is 50%). If you pass an integer larger than 1, it's treated as a pixel value. Default: *0.5*
* `color` — the color of the curly brace in HEX. Default: *#212121*
* `sharpness` — how tight the curve radius should be. The larger the number, the smaller the curves. Default: *1.5*
