Class: BaseRenderTexture

PIXI.BaseRenderTexture

A BaseRenderTexture 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 BaseRenderTexture should be preloaded otherwise black rectangles will be drawn instead.

A BaseRenderTexture takes a snapshot of any Display Object given to its render method. The position and rotation of the given Display Objects is ignored. For example:

let renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer();
let baseRenderTexture = new PIXI.BaseRenderTexture({ width: 800, height: 600 });
let renderTexture = new PIXI.RenderTexture(baseRenderTexture);
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 baseRenderTexture = new PIXI.BaseRenderTexture({ width: 100, height: 100 });
let renderTexture = new PIXI.RenderTexture(baseRenderTexture);

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

new PIXI.BaseRenderTexture (options)

Name Type Attributes Default Description
options object <optional>
options.width number <optional>
100

options.height number <optional>
100

The height of the base render texture.

Extends

Members

filterStack Array

The data structure for the filters.

maskStack Array<PIXI.MaskData>

The data structure for the stencil masks.

_canvasRenderTarget PIXI.utils.CanvasRenderTarget protected

A reference to the canvas render target (we only need one as this can be shared across renderers)

Methods

Destroys this texture.

Frees the texture and framebuffer from WebGL memory without destroying this texture object. This means you can still use the texture later which will upload it to GPU memory again.

Fires:
  • PIXI.BaseTexture#dispose

resize (width, height) void

Resizes the BaseRenderTexture.

Name Type Description
width number

The width to resize to.

height number

The height to resize to.
