• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer

Public Properties

alpha : number

The opacity of the object.

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObject#alpha

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 65

blendMode : number

The blend mode to be applied to the sprite. Set to PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL to remove any blend mode.

Default Value

• PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL;

Source code: pixi/extras/Strip.js, line 51

buttonMode : boolean

This is used to indicate if the displayObject should display a mouse hand cursor on rollover

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObject#buttonMode

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 90

cacheAsBitmap : boolean

Set if this display object is 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 'null'

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObject#cacheAsBitmap

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 436

canvasPadding : number

Triangles in canvas mode are automatically antialiased, use this value to force triangles to overlap a bit with each other.

Source code: pixi/extras/Strip.js, line 60

[readonly] children : Array.<DisplayObject>

[read-only] The array of children of this container.

Type

• Array.<DisplayObject>

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#children

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js, line 17

dirty : boolean

Whether the strip is dirty or not

Source code: pixi/extras/Strip.js, line 43

filterArea : PIXI.Rectangle

The area the filter is applied to like the hitArea this is used as more of an optimisation rather than figuring out the dimensions of the displayObject each frame you can set this rectangle

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObject#filterArea

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 180

filters : Array.<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'

Type

• Array.<Filter>

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObject#filters

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 400

height : number

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

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#height

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js, line 63

hitArea : PIXI.Rectangle | PIXI.Circle | PIXI.Ellipse | PIXI.Polygon

This is the defined area that will pick up mouse / touch events. It is null by default. Setting it is a neat way of optimising the hitTest function that the interactionManager will use (as it will not need to hit test all the children)

Type

• PIXI.Rectangle | PIXI.Circle | PIXI.Ellipse | PIXI.Polygon

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObject#hitArea

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 81

mask : PIXI.Graphics

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 object. This allows for much faster masking in canvas as it utilises shape clipping. To remove a mask, set this property to null.

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObject#mask

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 380

[readonly] parent : PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer

[read-only] The display object container that contains this display object.

texture : PIXI.Texture

The texture of the strip

Source code: pixi/extras/Strip.js, line 20

transformCallback : Function

The transform callback is an optional callback that if set will be called at the end of the updateTransform method and sent two parameters: This Display Objects worldTransform matrix and its parents transform matrix. Both are PIXI.Matrix object types. The matrix are passed by reference and can be modified directly without needing to return them. This ability allows you to check any of the matrix values and perform actions such as clamping scale or limiting rotation, regardless of the parent transforms.
