new DisplayObjectContainer()
A DisplayObjectContainer represents a collection of display objects. It is the base class of all display objects that act as a container for other objects.

Public Properties
-
alpha : number
-
The opacity of the object.
- Inherited From
- Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js (Line 46)
-
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
- Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js (Line 355)
-
[readonly] children : Array.<DisplayObject>
-
[read-only] The array of children of this container.
Type
- Array.<DisplayObject>
- Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js (Line 17)
-
filterArea :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
- Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js (Line 164)
-
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'.
You cannot have a filter and a multiply blend mode active at the same time. Setting a filter will reset this objects blend mode to NORMAL.
Type
- Array.<Filter>
- Inherited From
- Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js (Line 307)
-
height : number
-
The height of the displayObjectContainer, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set
- Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js (Line 61)
-
hitArea :Rectangle | Circle | Ellipse | 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
- Rectangle | Circle | Ellipse | Polygon
- Inherited From
- Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObject.js (Line 62)
-
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.
