Phaser Class: Image

new Image(game, x, y, key, frame)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`game`	Phaser.Game	A reference to the currently running game.
`x`	number	The x coordinate of the Imaget. The coordinate is relative to any parent container this Image may be in.
`y`	number	The y coordinate of the Image. The coordinate is relative to any parent container this Image may be in.
`key`	string \| Phaser.RenderTexture \| Phaser.BitmapData \| PIXI.Texture	The texture used by the Image during rendering. It can be a string which is a reference to the Cache entry, or an instance of a RenderTexture, BitmapData or PIXI.Texture.
`frame`	string \| number	If this Image is using part of a sprite sheet or texture atlas you can specify the exact frame to use by giving a string or numeric index.

Members

angle

Indicates the rotation of the Image, in degrees, from its original orientation. Values from 0 to 180 represent clockwise rotation; values from 0 to -180 represent counterclockwise rotation. Values outside this range are added to or subtracted from 360 to obtain a value within the range. For example, the statement player.angle = 450 is the same as player.angle = 90. If you wish to work in radians instead of degrees use the property Image.rotation instead. Working in radians is also a little faster as it doesn't have to convert the angle.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`angle`	number	The angle of this Image in degrees.

autoCull

Should this Image be automatically culled if out of range of the camera? A culled sprite has its renderable property set to 'false'. Be advised this is quite an expensive operation, as it has to calculate the bounds of the object every frame, so only enable it if you really need it.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`autoCull`	boolean	A flag indicating if the Image should be automatically camera culled or not.

Default Value:

false

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 91

cameraOffset

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`cameraOffset`	Phaser.Point	If this object is fixedToCamera then this stores the x/y offset that its drawn at, from the top-left of the camera view.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 101

<readonly> deltaX

Returns the delta x value. The difference between world.x now and in the previous step.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`deltaX`	number	The delta value. Positive if the motion was to the right, negative if to the left.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 477

<readonly> deltaY

Returns the delta y value. The difference between world.y now and in the previous step.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`deltaY`	number	The delta value. Positive if the motion was downwards, negative if upwards.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 494

<readonly> deltaZ

Returns the delta z value. The difference between rotation now and in the previous step.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`deltaZ`	number	The delta value.

events

Properties:

Name	Type	Description

exists

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`exists`	boolean	If exists = false then the Image isn't updated by the core game loop.

Default Value:

true

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 36

fixedToCamera

An Image that is fixed to the camera uses its x/y coordinates as offsets from the top left of the camera. These are stored in Image.cameraOffset. Note that the cameraOffset values are in addition to any parent in the display list. So if this Image was in a Group that has x: 200, then this will be added to the cameraOffset.x

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`fixedToCamera`	boolean	Set to true to fix this Image to the Camera at its current world coordinates.

<readonly> inCamera

Checks if the Image bounds are within the game camera, otherwise false if fully outside of it.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`inCamera`	boolean	True if the Image bounds is within the game camera, even if only partially. Otherwise false if fully outside of it.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 545

input

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`input`	Phaser.InputHandler \| null	The Input Handler for this object. Needs to be enabled with image.inputEnabled = true before you can use it.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 96

inputEnabled

By default an Image won't process any input events at all. By setting inputEnabled to true the Phaser.InputHandler is activated for this object and it will then start to process click/touch events and more.

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
`inputEnabled`	boolean	Set to true to allow this object to receive input events.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 635

<readonly> inWorld

Checks if the Image bounds are within the game world, otherwise false if fully outside of it.

Methods

bringToTop() → {Phaser.Image}

Brings the Image to the top of the display list it is a child of. Images that are members of a Phaser.Group are only bought to the top of that Group, not the entire display list.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 427

Returns:

This instance.

Type: Phaser.Image

crop(rect)

Crop allows you to crop the texture used to display this Image. Cropping takes place from the top-left of the Image and can be modified in real-time by providing an updated rectangle object.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`rect`	Phaser.Rectangle	The Rectangle to crop the Image to. Pass null or no parameters to clear a previously set crop rectangle.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 267

destroy()

Destroys the Image. This removes it from its parent group, destroys the input, event and animation handlers if present and nulls its reference to game, freeing it up for garbage collection.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 363

kill() → {Phaser.Image}

Kills a Image. A killed Image has its alive, exists and visible properties all set to false. It will dispatch the onKilled event, you can listen to Image.events.onKilled for the signal. Note that killing a Image is a way for you to quickly recycle it in a Image pool, it doesn't free it up from memory. If you don't need this Image any more you should call Image.destroy instead.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 338

Returns:

This instance.

Type: Phaser.Image

loadTexture(key, frame)

Changes the Texture the Image is using entirely. The old texture is removed and the new one is referenced or fetched from the Cache. This causes a WebGL texture update, so use sparingly or in low-intensity portions of your game.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`key`	string \| Phaser.RenderTexture \| Phaser.BitmapData \| PIXI.Texture	This is the image or texture used by the Image during rendering. It can be a string which is a reference to the Cache entry, or an instance of a RenderTexture, BitmapData or PIXI.Texture.
`frame`	string \| number	If this Image is using part of a sprite sheet or texture atlas you can specify the exact frame to use by giving a string or numeric index.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 190

postUpdate()

Internal function called by the World postUpdate cycle.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 168

preUpdate()

Automatically called by World.preUpdate.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 123

reset(x, y) → {Phaser.Image}

Resets the Image. This places the Image at the given x/y world coordinates and then sets alive, exists, visible and renderable all to true.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`x`	number	The x coordinate (in world space) to position the Image at.
`y`	number	The y coordinate (in world space) to position the Image at.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 404

Returns:

This instance.

Type: Phaser.Image

revive() → {Phaser.Image}

Brings a 'dead' Image back to life, optionally giving it the health value specified. A resurrected Image has its alive, exists and visible properties all set to true. It will dispatch the onRevived event, you can listen to Image.events.onRevived for the signal.

Source:

gameobjects/Image.js, line 314

Returns:

This instance.

Type: Phaser.Image

update()

Override and use this function in your own custom objects to handle any update requirements you may have.
