Class: RenderTexture

PIXI.RenderTexture

A RenderTexture is a special texture that allows any PixiJS display object to be rendered to it.

Hint: All DisplayObjects (i.e. Sprites) that render to a RenderTexture should be preloaded otherwise black rectangles will be drawn instead.

A RenderTexture takes a snapshot of any Display Object given to its render method. For example:

let renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer(1024, 1024);
let renderTexture = PIXI.RenderTexture.create(800, 600);
let sprite = PIXI.Sprite.from("spinObj_01.png");

sprite.position.x = 800/2;
sprite.position.y = 600/2;
sprite.anchor.x = 0.5;
sprite.anchor.y = 0.5;

renderer.render(sprite, renderTexture);

The Sprite in this case will be rendered using its local transform. To render this sprite at 0,0 you can clear the transform


sprite.setTransform()

let renderTexture = new PIXI.RenderTexture.create(100, 100);

renderer.render(sprite, renderTexture);  // Renders to center of RenderTexture

new PIXI.RenderTexture (baseRenderTexture, frame)

RenderTexture.js:43
Name Type Description
baseRenderTexture PIXI.BaseRenderTexture

The renderer used for this RenderTexture
frame PIXI.Rectangle optional

The rectangle frame of the texture to show

Extends

Members

_frame PIXI.Rectangle inherited

This is the area of the BaseTexture image to actually copy to the Canvas / WebGL when rendering, irrespective of the actual frame size or placement (which can be influenced by trimmed texture atlases)

_updateID number protected inherited

Update ID is observed by sprites and TextureMatrix instances. Call updateUvs() to increment it.

_uvs PIXI.TextureUvs protected inherited

The WebGL UV data cache. Can be used as quad UV

baseTexture PIXI.BaseTexture inherited

The base texture that this texture uses.

defaultAnchor PIXI.Point inherited

Anchor point that is used as default if sprite is created with this texture. Changing the defaultAnchor at a later point of time will not update Sprite's anchor point.

Default Value:
  • {0,0}

filterFrame PIXI.Rectangle protected

FilterSystem temporary storage

filterPoolKey string protected

The key for pooled texture of FilterSystem

frame PIXI.Rectangle inherited

The frame specifies the region of the base texture that this texture uses. Please call updateUvs() after you change coordinates of frame manually.

height number inherited

The height of the Texture in pixels.

noFrame boolean inherited

Does this Texture have any frame data assigned to it?

orig PIXI.Rectangle inherited

This is the area of original texture, before it was put in atlas

requiresUpdate boolean inherited

This will let a renderer know that a texture has been updated (used mainly for WebGL uv updates)

rotate number inherited

Indicates whether the texture is rotated inside the atlas set to 2 to compensate for texture packer rotation set to 6 to compensate for spine packer rotation can be used to rotate or mirror sprites See PIXI.GroupD8 for explanation

size PIXI.Rectangle Deprecated : since 5.0.0 readonly

sourceFrame PIXI.Rectangle Deprecated : since 5.0.0 readonly

textureCacheIds Array.<string> inherited

The ids under which this Texture has been added to the texture cache. This is automatically set as long as Texture.addToCache is used, but may not be set if a Texture is added directly to the TextureCache array.

trim PIXI.Rectangle inherited

This is the trimmed area of original texture, before it was put in atlas Please call updateUvs() after you change coordinates of trim manually.

uvMatrix PIXI.TextureMatrix inherited

Default TextureMatrix instance for this texture By default that object is not created because its heavy

valid boolean overrides

This will let the renderer know if the texture is valid. If it's not then it cannot be rendered.

width number inherited

The width of the Texture in pixels.
