PIXI. Sprite

new Sprite(texture)

The Sprite object is the base for all textured objects that are rendered to the screen

Parameters:
Name Type Description
texture PIXI.Texture

The texture for this sprite

A sprite can be created directly from an image like this : var sprite = new PIXI.Sprite.fromImage('assets/image.png'); yourStage.addChild(sprite); then obviously don't forget to add it to the stage you have already created

Extends

Members

alpha :Number

The opacity of the object.

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 65

anchor :Point

The anchor sets the origin point of the texture. The default is 0,0 this means the texture's origin is the top left Setting than anchor to 0.5,0.5 means the textures origin is centered Setting the anchor to 1,1 would mean the textures origin points will be the bottom right corner

Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 22

blendMode :Number

The blend mode to be applied to the sprite. Set to PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL to remove any blend mode.

Default Value:
  • PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL;
Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 68

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 - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 336

<readonly> children :Array.<DisplayObject>

[read-only] The array of children of this container.

Type:
Inherited From:
Source - 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 - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 153

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'

Type:
  • Array.<Filter>
Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 298

height :Number

The height of the sprite, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set

Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 118

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 - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 81

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.

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 273

<readonly> parent :PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer

[read-only] The display object container that contains this display object.

  • null
Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 77

<readonly> stage :PIXI.Stage

[read-only] The stage the display object is connected to, or undefined if it is not connected to the stage.

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 107

texture :PIXI.Texture

The texture that the sprite is using

Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 33

tint :Number

The tint applied to the sprite. This is a hex value. A value of 0xFFFFFF will remove any tint effect.

Default Value:
  • 0xFFFFFF
Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 59

transformCallback :function

The transform callback is an optional callback that if set will be called at the end of the updateTransform method and sent two parameters: This Display Objects worldTransform matrix and its parents transform matrix. Both are PIXI.Matrix object types. The matrix are passed by reference and can be modified directly without needing to return them. This ability allows you to check any of the matrix values and perform actions such as clamping scale or limiting rotation, regardless of the parent transforms.
