new PIXI.Container()
Extends
Members
-
alphanumber
-
The opacity of the object.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
readonlyparentPIXI.Container
-
The display object container that contains this display object.
-
The pivot point of the displayObject that it rotates around
Assignment by value since pixi-v4. -
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.
-
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. -
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 -
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 Container, 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
Methods
-
_calculateBounds()
-
Recalculates the bounds of the object. Override this to
calculate the bounds of the specific object (not including children). -
inherited _recursivePostUpdateTransform()

recursively updates transform of all objects from the root to this one
internal function for toLocal() -
addChild(child){PIXI.DisplayObject}

Recalculates the bounds of the container.
-
destroy(options)
-
Removes all internal references and listeners as well as removes children from the display list.
Do not use a Container after callingdestroy
.Name Type Description options
object | boolean optional Options parameter. A boolean will act as if all options
have been set to that valueName Type Default Description children
boolean false optional if set to true, all the children will have their destroy
method called as well. 'options' will be passed on to those calls.texture
boolean false optional Only used for child Sprites if options.children is set to true
Should it destroy the texture of the child spritebaseTexture
boolean false optional Only used for child Sprites if options.children is set to true
Should it destroy the base texture of the child sprite -
inherited getBounds(skipUpdate, rect){PIXI.Rectangle}
-

boolean setting to true will stop the transforms of the scene graph from
being updated. This means the calculation returned MAY be out of date BUT will give you a
nice performance boostrect
