Constructor

Phaser. BitmapData

new BitmapData(game, key, width, height)

A BitmapData object contains a Canvas element to which you can draw anything you like via normal Canvas context operations. A single BitmapData can be used as the texture for one or many Images/Sprites. So if you need to dynamically create a Sprite texture then they are a good choice.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
game Phaser.Game

A reference to the currently running game.
key string

Internal Phaser reference key for the BitmapData.
width number <optional>
 256

The width of the BitmapData in pixels. If undefined or zero it's set to a default value.
height number <optional>
 256

The height of the BitmapData in pixels. If undefined or zero it's set to a default value.

extract(destination, r, g, b, a, resize, r2, g2, b2) → {Phaser.BitmapData}

Scans this BitmapData for all pixels matching the given r,g,b values and then draws them into the given destination BitmapData. The original BitmapData remains unchanged. The destination BitmapData must be large enough to receive all of the pixels that are scanned unless the 'resize' parameter is true. Although the destination BitmapData is returned from this method, it's actually modified directly in place, meaning this call is perfectly valid: picture.extract(mask, r, g, b) You can specify optional r2, g2, b2 color values. If given the pixel written to the destination bitmap will be of the r2, g2, b2 color. If not given it will be written as the same color it was extracted. You can provide one or more alternative colors, allowing you to tint the color during extraction.

Parameters

r number

The red color component, in the range 0 - 255.

a number <optional>
 255

The alpha color component, in the range 0 - 255 that the new pixel will be drawn at.
resize boolean <optional>
 false

Should the destination BitmapData be resized to match this one before the pixels are copied?
r2 number <optional>

You can apply the texture to a sprite or any other supporting object by using either the key or the texture. First call generateTexture:

var texture = bitmapdata.generateTexture('ball');

Then you can either apply the texture to a sprite:

game.add.sprite(0, 0, texture);

or by using the string based key:

game.add.sprite(0, 0, 'ball');

processPixel(callback, callbackContext, x, y, width, height) → {Phaser.BitmapData}

Scans through the area specified in this BitmapData and sends the color for every pixel to the given callback along with its x and y coordinates. Whatever value the callback returns is set as the new color for that pixel, unless it returns the same color, in which case it's skipped. Note that the format of the color received will be different depending on if the system is big or little endian. It is expected that your callback will deal with endianess. If you'd rather Phaser did it then use processPixelRGB instead. The callback will also be sent the pixels x and y coordinates respectively.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
callback function

The callback that will be sent each pixel color to be processed.
callbackContext object

The context under which the callback will be called.
x number <optional>
 0

The x coordinate of the top-left of the region to process from.
y number <optional>
 0

The y coordinate of the top-left of the region to process from.
width number <optional>

The width of the region to process.
height number <optional>

The height of the region to process.
Returns
Phaser.BitmapData -

This BitmapData object for method chaining.

Source code: gameobjects/BitmapData.js (Line 643)

processPixelRGB(callback, callbackContext, x, y, width, height) → {Phaser.BitmapData}

Scans through the area specified in this BitmapData and sends a color object for every pixel to the given callback. The callback will be sent a color object with 6 properties: { r: number, g: number, b: number, a: number, color: number, rgba: string }. Where r, g, b and a are integers between 0 and 255 representing the color component values for red, green, blue and alpha. The color property is an Int32 of the full color. Note the endianess of this will change per system. The rgba property is a CSS style rgba() string which can be used with context.fillStyle calls, among others. The callback will also be sent the pixels x and y coordinates respectively. The callback must return either false, in which case no change will be made to the pixel, or a new color object. If a new color object is returned the pixel will be set to the r, g, b and a color values given within it.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
callback function

The callback that will be sent each pixel color object to be processed.
callbackContext object

The context under which the callback will be called.
x number <optional>
 0

The x coordinate of the top-left of the region to process from.
y number <optional>
 0

The y coordinate of the top-left of the region to process from.
width number <optional>

The width of the region to process.
height number <optional>

The height of the region to process.

render() → {Phaser.BitmapData}

If the game is running in WebGL this will push the texture up to the GPU if it's dirty. This is called automatically if the BitmapData is being used by a Sprite, otherwise you need to remember to call it in your render function. If you wish to suppress this functionality set BitmapData.disableTextureUpload to true.

Returns
Phaser.BitmapData -

This BitmapData object for method chaining.
