-
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:
- Array.<DisplayObject>
- 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.
