Inherited Variables

Defined by Object

private@:dox(show)allocated:Bool

A flag that indicates whether the object was allocated or not.

When adding children to allocated objects, onAdd is being called immediately, otherwise it's delayed until the whole tree is added to a currently active Scene.

@:value(1.)alpha:Float = 1.

The amount of transparency of the Object.

@:value(Alpha)blendMode:BlendMode = Alpha

The blending mode of the object.

If there is no Object.filter active, only applies to the current object (not inherited by children). Otherwise tells how the filter is blended with background.

filter:Filter

The post process filter for this object.

When set, Object.alpha value affects both filter and object transparency (use Drawable.color.a to set transparency only for the object).

name:String

The name of the object. Can be used to retrieve an object within a tree by using Object.getObjectByName.

read onlynumChildren:Int

How many immediate children this object has.

read onlyparent:Object

The parent object in the scene tree.

private@:dox(show)parentContainer:Object

The parent container of this object. See Object.contentChanged for more details.

private@:dox(show)posChanged:Bool

A flag that indicates that the object transform was modified and absolute position recalculation is required.

Automatically cleared on Object.sync and can be manually synced with the Object.syncPos.

@:value(0)rotation:Float = 0

The rotation angle of this object, in radians.

@:value(1)scaleX:Float = 1

The amount of horizontal scaling of this object.

@:value(1)scaleY:Float = 1

The amount of vertical scaling of this object.

@:value(true)visible:Bool = true

Is the object and its children are displayed on screen.

@:value(0)x:Float = 0

The x position (in pixels) of the object relative to its parent.

@:value(0)y:Float = 0

The y position (in pixels) of the object relative to its parent.

Inherited Methods

Defined by Object

private@:dox(show)addBounds(relativeTo:Object, out:Bounds, dx:Float, dy:Float, width:Float, height:Float):Void

Adds specified area in local coordinate space to the bounds. Expected to be used within Object.getBoundsRec.

Parameters:

relativeTo

An object relative to which the Object bounds coordinates should be. If not set, coordinates are in absolute coordinate space.

out

An output Bounds instance.

dx

The top-left X offset of the added bounds rectangle.

dy

The top-left Y offset of the added bounds rectangle.

width

The width of the added bounds rectangle.

height

The height of the added bounds rectangle.

addChild(s:Object):Void

Add a child object at the end of the children list.

addChildAt(s:Object, pos:Int):Void

Insert a child object at the specified position of the children list.

private@:dox(show)calcAbsPos():Void

Internal usage Calculates the absolute object position transform. See `Object.syncPos` for a safe position sync method. This method does not ensure that object parents also have up-to-date transform nor does it clear the `Object.posChanged` flag.

private@:dox(show)clipBounds(ctx:RenderContext, bounds:Bounds):Void

Internal usage Clip a local bounds with our global viewport. Used during filter rendering in order to clip out areas that are off-screen and should not be rendered.

private@:dox(show)constraintSize(maxWidth:Float, maxHeight:Float):Void

Advanced usage This can be called by a parent container to constraint the size of its children. Negative value mean that constraint is to be disabled.

For example, Text constraints it's maximum width, causing word-wrap to occur within constrained area.

See also:

contains(o:Object):Bool

Tells if the object is contained into this object children, recursively.

private@:dox(show)contentChanged(s:Object):Void

Advanced usage Called by the children of a container object if they have `parentContainer` defined in them. Primary use-case is when the child size got changed, requiring content to reevaluate positioning such as `Flow` layouts, but also can be used for other purposes.

private@:dox(show)draw(ctx:RenderContext):Void

Override this method in order to add custom graphics rendering to your Object. draw is invoked before rendering of the object children.

drawTo(t:Texture):Void

Draw the object and all its children into the given Texture.

drawToTextures(texs:Array<Texture>, outputs:Array<Output>):Void

Draw the object and all its children into the given Textures.

private@:dox(show)emitTile(ctx:RenderContext, tile:Tile):Void

Draws single Tile instance with this Object transform.

find<T>(f:Object ‑> Null<T>):Null<T>

Find a single object in the tree by calling f on each and returning the first not-null value returned, or null if not found.

findAll<T>(f:Object ‑> Null<T>, ?arr:Array<T>):Array<T>

Find several objects in the tree by calling f on each and returning all the not-null values returned.

Parameters:

arr

An optional array instance to fill results with. Allocates a new array if not set.

getAbsPos():Matrix

Returns the updated absolute position matrix. See Object.getMatrix for current matrix values.

getBounds(?relativeTo:Object, ?out:Bounds):Bounds

Return the bounds of the object for its whole content, recursively.

Parameters:

relativeTo

An optional object relative to coordinates of which bounds are returned. Returns bounds in the absolute coordinates if not set.

out

An optional bounds instance to fill. Allocates new Bounds instance and returns it if not set.

private@:dox(show)getBoundsRec(relativeTo:Object, out:Bounds, forSize:Bool):Void

Override this method in order to expand the reported bounds of an object. Object.addBounds can be used to add bounds with respect to relativeTo. Do not remove the super call.

Parameters:

relativeTo

An object relative to which the Object bounds coordinates should be.

out

An output Bounds instance.

forSize

Whether it's being called for Object.getSize or Object.getBounds.

inlinegetChildAt(n:Int):Object

Return the nth element among the immediate children list of this object, or null if there is no Object at this position.

getChildIndex(o:Object):Int

Return the index of the object o within the immediate children list of this object, or -1 if it is not part of the children list.

private@:dox(show)getMatrix(m:Matrix):Void

Populates Matrix with current absolute object transform values. See Object.getAbsPos for up-to-date values.

getObjectByName(name:String):Object

Search for an object recursively by name, return null if not found.

getObjectsCount():Int

Return the total number of children in the whole tree, recursively.

getScene():Scene

Returns an h2d.Scene down the hierarchy tree or null if object is not added to Scene.

getSize(?out:Bounds):Bounds

Similar to getBounds(parent), but instead of the full content, it will return the size based on the alignment of the object. For instance for a text, Object.getBounds will return the full glyphs size whereas getSize will ignore the pixels under the baseline.

Parameters:

out

An optional bounds instance to fill. Allocates new Bounds instance and returns it if not set.

globalToLocal(pt:Point):Point

Convert an absolute screen position into a local position relative to the object origin, applying all the inherited transforms.

Parameters:

pt

A position to convert and return. Modifies the Point instance as is.

inlineiterator():ArrayIterator_h2d_Object

Return an iterator over this object immediate children

localToGlobal(?pt:Point):Point

Convert a local position (or [0,0] if pt is null) relative to the object origin into an absolute screen position, applying all the inherited transforms.

Parameters:

pt

An optional position to convert and return. Allocates new Point at 0,0 position if not set. Modifies the Point instance as is.

move(dx:Float, dy:Float):Void
