Phaser Class: BitmapData

new BitmapData(game, key, width, height, skipPool)

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.

Important note: Every BitmapData creates its own Canvas element. Because BitmapData's are now Game Objects themselves, and don't live on the display list, they are NOT automatically cleared when you change State. Therefore you must call BitmapData.destroy in your State's shutdown method if you wish to free-up the resources the BitmapData used, it will not happen for you.

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.
`skipPool`	boolean	<optional>	false	When this BitmapData generates its internal canvas to use for rendering, it will get the canvas from the CanvasPool if false, or create its own if true.

copy(source, x, y, width, height, tx, ty, newWidth, newHeight, rotate, anchorX, anchorY, scaleX, scaleY, alpha, blendMode, roundPx) → {Phaser.BitmapData}

Copies a rectangular area from the source object to this BitmapData. If you give null as the source it will copy from itself.

You can optionally resize, translate, rotate, scale, alpha or blend as it's drawn.

All rotation, scaling and drawing takes place around the regions center point by default, but can be changed with the anchor parameters.

Note that the source image can also be this BitmapData, which can create some interesting effects.

This method has a lot of parameters for maximum control. You can use the more friendly methods like copyRect and draw to avoid having to remember them all.

You may prefer to use copyTransform if you're simply trying to draw a Sprite to this BitmapData, and don't wish to translate, scale or rotate it from its original values.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`source`	Phaser.Sprite \| Phaser.Image \| Phaser.Text \| Phaser.BitmapData \| Phaser.RenderTexture \| Image \| HTMLCanvasElement \| string	<optional>		The source to copy from. If you give a string it will try and find the Image in the Game.Cache first. This is quite expensive so try to provide the image itself.
`x`	number	<optional>	0	The x coordinate representing the top-left of the region to copy from the source image.
`y`	number	<optional>	0	The y coordinate representing the top-left of the region to copy from the source image.
`width`	number	<optional>		The width of the region to copy from the source image. If not specified it will use the full source image width.
`height`	number	<optional>		The height of the region to copy from the source image. If not specified it will use the full source image height.
`tx`	number	<optional>		The x coordinate to translate to before drawing. If not specified it will default to the `x` parameter. If `null` and `source` is a Display Object, it will default to `source.x`.
`ty`	number	<optional>		The y coordinate to translate to before drawing. If not specified it will default to the `y` parameter. If `null` and `source` is a Display Object, it will default to `source.y`.
`newWidth`	number	<optional>		The new width of the block being copied. If not specified it will default to the `width` parameter.
`newHeight`	number	<optional>		The new height of the block being copied. If not specified it will default to the `height` parameter.

`scaleX`	number	<optional>	1	The horizontal scale factor of the block. A value of 1 means no scaling. 2 would be twice the size, and so on.
`scaleY`	number	<optional>	1	The vertical scale factor of the block. A value of 1 means no scaling. 2 would be twice the size, and so on.
`alpha`	number	<optional>	1	The alpha that will be set on the context before drawing. A value between 0 (fully transparent) and 1, opaque.
`blendMode`	string	<optional>	null	The composite blend mode that will be used when drawing. The default is no blend mode at all. This is a Canvas globalCompositeOperation value such as 'lighter' or 'xor'.

copyTransform(source, blendMode, roundPx) → {Phaser.BitmapData}

Draws the given source Game Object to this BitmapData, using its worldTransform property to set the position, scale and rotation of where it is drawn. This function is used internally by drawGroup. It takes the objects tint and scale mode into consideration before drawing.

You can optionally specify Blend Mode and Round Pixels arguments.

Source - gameobjects/BitmapData.js, line 2020

draw(source, x, y, width, height, blendMode, roundPx) → {Phaser.BitmapData}

Draws the given Phaser.Sprite, Phaser.Image or Phaser.Text to this BitmapData at the coordinates specified. You can use the optional width and height values to 'stretch' the sprite as it is drawn. This uses drawImage stretching, not scaling.

The children will be drawn at their x and y world space coordinates. If this is outside the bounds of the BitmapData they won't be visible. When drawing it will take into account the rotation, scale, scaleMode, alpha and tint values.

Note: You should ensure that at least 1 full update has taken place before calling this, otherwise the objects are likely to render incorrectly, if at all. You can trigger an update yourself by calling stage.updateTransform() before calling draw.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`source`	Phaser.Sprite \| Phaser.Image \| Phaser.Text \| Phaser.RenderTexture			The Sprite, Image or Text object to draw onto this BitmapData.

drawFull(parent, blendMode, roundPx) → {Phaser.BitmapData}

Draws the Game Object or Group to this BitmapData and then recursively iterates through all of its children.

If a child has an exists property then it (and its children) will be only be drawn if exists is true.

The children will be drawn at their x and y world space coordinates. If this is outside the bounds of the BitmapData they won't be drawn. Depending on your requirements you may need to resize the BitmapData in advance to match the bounds of the top-level Game Object.

When drawing it will take into account the child's world rotation, scale and alpha values.

It's perfectly valid to pass in game.world as the parent object, and it will iterate through the entire display list.

Note: If you are trying to grab your entire game at the start of a State then you should ensure that at least 1 full update has taken place before doing so, otherwise all of the objects will render with incorrect positions and scales. You can trigger an update yourself by calling stage.updateTransform() before calling drawFull.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`parent`	Phaser.World \| Phaser.Group \| Phaser.Sprite \| Phaser.Image \| Phaser.Text \| Phaser.BitmapText			The Game Object to draw onto this BitmapData and then recursively draw all of its children.
`blendMode`	string	<optional>	null	The composite blend mode that will be used when drawing. The default is no blend mode at all. This is a Canvas globalCompositeOperation value such as 'lighter' or 'xor'.
`roundPx`	boolean	<optional>	false	Should the x and y values be rounded to integers before drawing? This prevents anti-aliasing in some instances.

Returns:

Phaser.BitmapData -

This BitmapData object for method chaining.

Source - gameobjects/BitmapData.js, line 1648

drawGroup(group, blendMode, roundPx) → {Phaser.BitmapData}

Draws the immediate children of a Phaser.Group to this BitmapData.

Children are drawn only if they have their exists property set to true, and have image, or RenderTexture, based Textures.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`group`	Phaser.Group			The Group to draw onto this BitmapData. Can also be Phaser.World.
`blendMode`	string	<optional>	null	The composite blend mode that will be used when drawing. The default is no blend mode at all. This is a Canvas globalCompositeOperation value such as 'lighter' or 'xor'.
`roundPx`	boolean	<optional>	false	Should the x and y values be rounded to integers before drawing? This prevents anti-aliasing in some instances.

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:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
`destination`	Phaser.BitmapData			The BitmapData that the extracted pixels will be drawn to.
`r`	number			The red color component, in the range 0 - 255.
`g`	number			The green color component, in the range 0 - 255.
`b`	number			The blue 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>		An alternative red color component to be written to the destination, in the range 0 - 255.
`g2`	number	<optional>		An alternative green color component to be written to the destination, in the range 0 - 255.
`b2`	number	<optional>		An alternative blue color component to be written to the destination, in the range 0 - 255.

generateTexture(key) → {PIXI.Texture}

Creates a new Image element by converting this BitmapDatas canvas into a dataURL.

The image is then stored in the image Cache using the key given.

Finally a PIXI.Texture is created based on the image and returned.

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');

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description

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.

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.
