new PIXI.extras.TilingSprite(texture, width, height)

extras/TilingSprite.js, line 16
Name Type Default Description
texture PIXI.Texture

the texture of the tiling sprite
width number 100 optional

the width of the tiling sprite
height number 100 optional

the height of the tiling sprite

Extends

Members

alphanumber

The opacity of the object.

anchorPIXI.ObservablePoint

The anchor sets the origin point of the texture.
The default is 0,0 this means the texture's origin is the top left
Setting the anchor to 0.5,0.5 means the texture's origin is centered
Setting the anchor to 1,1 would mean the texture's origin point will be the bottom right corner

blendModenumber

The blend mode to be applied to the sprite. Apply a value of PIXI.BLEND_MODES.NORMAL to reset the blend mode.

Default Value:
  • PIXI.BLEND_MODES.NORMAL
See:

cacheAsBitmapboolean

Set this to true if you want this display object to be cached as a bitmap.
This basically takes a snap shot of the display object as it is at that moment. It can
provide a performance benefit for complex static displayObjects.
To remove simply set this property to 'false'

readonlychildrenArray.<PIXI.DisplayObject>

The array of children of this container.

clampMarginnumber

Changes frame clamping in corresponding textureTransform, shortcut
Change to -0.5 to add a pixel to the edge, recommended for transparent trimmed textures in atlas

Default Value:
  • 0.5

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 rectangle

Also 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'

heightnumber

The height of the TilingSprite, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set

readonlylocalTransformPIXI.Matrix

Current transform of the object based on local factors: position, scale, other stuff

maskPIXI.Graphics PIXI.Sprite

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.

readonlyparentPIXI.Container

The display object container that contains this display object.

pivotPIXI.Point PIXI.ObservablePoint

The pivot point of the displayObject that it rotates around
Assignment by value since pixi-v4.

pluginNamestring

Plugin that is responsible for rendering this element.
Allows to customize the rendering process without overriding '_renderWebGL' method.

Default Value:
  • 'tilingSprite'

positionPIXI.Point PIXI.ObservablePoint

The coordinate of the object relative to the local coordinates of the parent.
Assignment by value since pixi-v4.

renderableboolean

Can this object be rendered, if false the object will not be drawn but the updateTransform
methods will still be called.

Only affects recursive calls from parent. You can ask for bounds manually

rotationnumber

The rotation of the object in radians.

scalePIXI.Point PIXI.ObservablePoint

The scale factor of the object.
Assignment by value since pixi-v4.

shaderPIXI.Filter PIXI.Shader

The shader that will be used to render the sprite. Set to null to remove a current shader.

skewPIXI.ObservablePoint

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

texturePIXI.Texture

The texture that the sprite is using

tilePositionPIXI.ObservablePoint

The offset of the image that is being tiled

tileScalePIXI.ObservablePoint

The scaling of the image that is being tiled

tileTransformPIXI.TransformStatic

Tile transform

tintnumber

The tint applied to the sprite. This is a hex value. A value of
0xFFFFFF will remove any tint effect.

Default Value:
  • 0xFFFFFF

transformPIXI.TransformBase

World transform and local transform of this object.
This will become read-only later, please do not assign anything there unless you know what are you doing

uvRespectAnchorboolean

Whether or not anchor affects uvs

Default Value:
  • false

uvTransformPIXI.extras.TextureTransform

transform that is applied to UV to get the texture coords

visibleboolean

The visibility of the object. If false the object will not be drawn, and
the updateTransform function will not be called.

Only affects recursive calls from parent. You can ask for bounds or call updateTransform manually

widthnumber

The width of the sprite, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set

readonlyworldAlphanumber

The multiplied alpha of the displayObject

readonlyworldTransformPIXI.Matrix

Current transform of the object based on world (parent) factors

readonlyworldVisibleboolean

Indicates if the object is globally visible.

xnumber

The position of the displayObject on the x axis relative to the local coordinates of the parent.
An alias to position.x

ynumber

The position of the displayObject on the y axis relative to the local coordinates of the parent.
An alias to position.y
