• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer

Members

alpha :Number

The opacity of the object.

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#alpha

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 46

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/extras/Strip.js, line 51

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:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#cacheAsBitmap

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 355

canvasPadding :Number

Triangles in canvas mode are automatically antialiased, use this value to force triangles to overlap a bit with each other.

Source - pixi/extras/Strip.js, line 60

<readonly> children :Array.<DisplayObject>

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

Type:

• Array.<DisplayObject>

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#children

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js, line 17

dirty :Boolean

Whether the strip is dirty or not

Source - pixi/extras/Strip.js, line 43

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:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#filterArea

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:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#filters

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:

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#height

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:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#hitArea

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 62

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:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#mask

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 282

<readonly> parent :PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer

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