Constructor

Phaser. Circle

new Circle(x, y, diameter)

Creates a new Circle object with the center coordinate specified by the x and y parameters and the diameter specified by the diameter parameter.
If you call this function without parameters, a circle with x, y, diameter and radius properties set to 0 is created.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description
x number <optional>
 0

The x coordinate of the center of the circle.
y number <optional>
 0

The y coordinate of the center of the circle.
diameter number <optional>
 0

The diameter of the circle.
Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 17)

Public Properties

[readonly] area : number

The area of this Circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 412)

bottom : number

The sum of the y and radius properties. Changing the bottom property of a Circle object has no effect on the x and y properties, but does change the diameter. Gets or sets the bottom of the circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 385)

diameter : number

The largest distance between any two points on the circle. The same as the radius * 2. Gets or sets the diameter of the circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 258)

empty : boolean

Determines whether or not this Circle object is empty. Will return a value of true if the Circle objects diameter is less than or equal to 0; otherwise false.
If set to true it will reset all of the Circle objects properties to 0. A Circle object is empty if its diameter is less than or equal to 0. Gets or sets the empty state of the circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 435)

left

The x coordinate of the leftmost point of the circle. Changing the left property of a Circle object has no effect on the x and y properties. However it does affect the diameter, whereas changing the x value does not affect the diameter property.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 304)

radius : number

The length of a line extending from the center of the circle to any point on the circle itself. The same as half the diameter. Gets or sets the radius of the circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 281)

right : number

The x coordinate of the rightmost point of the circle. Changing the right property of a Circle object has no effect on the x and y properties. However it does affect the diameter, whereas changing the x value does not affect the diameter property. Gets or sets the value of the rightmost point of the circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 331)

top : number

The sum of the y minus the radius property. Changing the top property of a Circle object has no effect on the x and y properties, but does change the diameter. Gets or sets the top of the circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 358)

[readonly] type : number

The const type of this object.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 54)

x : number

The x coordinate of the center of the circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 26)

y : number

The y coordinate of the center of the circle.

Source code: geom/Circle.js (Line 31)
