Members
-
alphanumber
-
The opacity of the object.
-
blendModenumber
-
The blend mode to be applied to the graphic shape. Apply a value of
PIXI.BLEND_MODES.NORMAL
to reset the blend mode.- Default Value:
- PIXI.BLEND_MODES.NORMAL;
- See:
-
boundsPaddingnumber
-
The bounds' padding used for bounds calculation.
-
cacheAsBitmapboolean
-
When cacheAsBitmap is set to true the graphics object will be rendered as if it was a sprite.
This is useful if your graphics element does not change often, as it will speed up the rendering
of the object in exchange for taking up texture memory. It is also useful if you need the graphics
object to be anti-aliased, because it will be rendered using canvas. This is not recommended if
you are constantly redrawing the graphics element.- Default Value:
- false
-
readonlychildrenArray.<PIXI.DisplayObject>
-
The array of children of this container.
-
fillAlphanumber
-
The alpha value used when filling the Graphics object.
- Default Value:
- 1
-
filterAreaPIXI.Rectangle
-
The area the filter is applied to. This is used as more of an optimisation
rather than figuring out the dimensions of the displayObject each frame you can set this rectangleAlso works as an interaction mask
-
filtersArray.<PIXI.Filter>
-
Sets the filters for the displayObject.
- IMPORTANT: This is a webGL only feature and will be ignored by the canvas renderer.
To remove filters simply set this property to 'null'
- IMPORTANT: This is a webGL only feature and will be ignored by the canvas renderer.
-
heightnumber
-
The height of the Container, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set
-
isMaskboolean
-
Whether this shape is being used as a mask.
-
lineColorstring
-
The color of any lines drawn.
- Default Value:
- 0
-
lineWidthnumber
-
The width (thickness) of any lines drawn.
- Default Value:
- 0
-
readonlylocalTransformPIXI.Matrix
-
Current transform of the object based on local factors: position, scale, other stuff
-
Sets a mask for the displayObject. A mask is an object that limits the visibility of an
object to the shape of the mask applied to it. In PIXI a regular mask must be a
PIXI.Graphics or a PIXI.Sprite object. This allows for much faster masking in canvas as it
utilises shape clipping. To remove a mask, set this property to null.- TODO
-
- For the moment, PIXI.CanvasRenderer doesn't support PIXI.Sprite as mask.

methods will still be called.Only affects recursive calls from parent. You can ask for bounds manually
-
rotationnumber
-

-
The scale factor of the object.
Assignment by value since pixi-v4. -
The skew factor for the object in radians.
Assignment by value since pixi-v4. -

reset the tint.- Default Value:
- 0xFFFFFF
-
transformPIXI.TransformBase
-

This will become read-only later, please do not assign anything there unless you know what are you doing -
visibleboolean
-

the updateTransform function will not be called.Only affects recursive calls from parent. You can ask for bounds or call updateTransform manually
-
widthnumber
