Extends

Members

alpha :Number

The opacity of the object.

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 46

blendMode :Number

The blend mode to be applied to the graphic shape. Apply a value of PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL to reset the blend mode.

Default Value:
  • PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL;
Source - pixi/primitives/Graphics.js, line 61

boundsPadding :Number

The bounds' padding used for bounds calculation.

Source - pixi/primitives/Graphics.js, line 96

<readonly> children :Array.<DisplayObject>

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

Type:
Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js, line 17

fillAlpha :Number

The alpha value used when filling the Graphics object.

Source - pixi/primitives/Graphics.js, line 18

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 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 - 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

Inherited From:
Source - 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 - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 62

isMask :Boolean

Whether this shape is being used as a mask.

Source - pixi/primitives/Graphics.js, line 88

lineColor :String

The color of any lines drawn.

Default Value:
  • 0
Source - pixi/primitives/Graphics.js, line 34

lineWidth :Number

The width (thickness) of any lines drawn.

Source - pixi/primitives/Graphics.js, line 26

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 282
