Member

_zIndex: number

The zIndex of the displayObject. A higher value will mean it will be rendered on top of other displayObjects within the same container.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#_zIndex

accessible: boolean

Flag for if the object is accessible. If true AccessibilityManager will overlay a shadow div with attributes set

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

accessibleChildren: boolean

Setting to false will prevent any children inside this container to be accessible. Defaults to true.

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

Default

true
accessibleHint: string

Sets the aria-label attribute of the shadow div

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

accessiblePointerEvents: string

Specify the pointer-events the accessible div will use Defaults to auto.

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

Default

'auto'
accessibleTitle: string

Sets the title attribute of the shadow div If accessibleTitle AND accessibleHint has not been this will default to 'displayObject [tabIndex]'

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

accessibleType: string

Specify the type of div the accessible layer is. Screen readers treat the element differently depending on this type. Defaults to button.

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

Default

'button'
alpha: number

The opacity of the object.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#alpha

angle: number

The angle of the object in degrees. 'rotation' and 'angle' have the same effect on a display object; rotation is in radians, angle is in degrees.

Member

buttonMode: boolean

If enabled, the mouse cursor use the pointer behavior when hovered over the displayObject if it is interactive Setting this changes the 'cursor' property to 'pointer'.

Example

const sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
sprite.interactive = true;
sprite.buttonMode = true;

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

cacheAsBitmap: boolean

Set this to true if you want this display object to be 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 false

IMPORTANT GOTCHA - Make sure that all your textures are preloaded BEFORE setting this property to true as it will take a snapshot of what is currently there. If the textures have not loaded then they will not appear.

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

children: DisplayObject[]

The array of children of this container.

Member

PIXI.Container#children

cursor: string

This defines what cursor mode is used when the mouse cursor is hovered over the displayObject.

Example

const sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
sprite.interactive = true;
sprite.cursor = 'wait';

See

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/cursor

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

filterArea: Rectangle

The area the filter is applied to. This is used as more of an optimization rather than figuring out the dimensions of the displayObject each frame you can set this rectangle.

Also works as an interaction mask.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#filterArea

filters: 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'.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#filters

height: number

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

Member

hitArea: IHitArea

Interaction shape. Children will be hit first, then this shape will be checked. Setting this will cause this shape to be checked in hit tests rather than the displayObject's bounds.

Example

const sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
sprite.interactive = true;
sprite.hitArea = new PIXI.Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100);

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

interactive: boolean

Enable interaction events for the DisplayObject. Touch, pointer and mouse events will not be emitted unless interactive is set to true.

Example

const sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
sprite.interactive = true;
sprite.on('tap', (event) => {
//handle event
});

Member

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

interactiveChildren: boolean

Determines if the children to the displayObject can be clicked/touched Setting this to false allows PixiJS to bypass a recursive hitTest function

Member

Memberof

PIXI.Container#

isMask: boolean

Does any other displayObject use this object as a mask?

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#isMask

isSprite: boolean

used to fast check if a sprite is.. a sprite!

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#isSprite

localTransform: Matrix

Current transform of the object based on local factors: position, scale, other stuff.

Member

mask: null | Container | MaskData

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 PixiJS a regular mask must be a PIXI.Graphics or a PIXI.Sprite object. This allows for much faster masking in canvas as it utilities shape clipping. To remove a mask, set this property to null.

For sprite mask both alpha and red channel are used. Black mask is the same as transparent mask.

Example

const graphics = new PIXI.Graphics();
graphics.beginFill(0xFF3300);
graphics.drawRect(50, 250, 100, 100);
graphics.endFill();

const sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
sprite.mask = graphics;

Todo

At the moment, PIXI.CanvasRenderer doesn't support PIXI.Sprite as mask.

Member

name: string

The instance name of the object.

Memberof

PIXI.DisplayObject#

Member

name

parent: Container

The display object container that contains this display object.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#parent

pivot: ObservablePoint

The pivot point of the displayObject that it rotates around. Assignment by value since pixi-v4.

Member

position: ObservablePoint

The coordinate of the object relative to the local coordinates of the parent. Assignment by value since pixi-v4.

Member

renderable: boolean

Can this object be rendered, if false the object will not be drawn but the updateTransform methods will still be called.

Only affects recursive calls from parent. You can ask for bounds manually.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#renderable

rotation: number

The rotation of the object in radians. 'rotation' and 'angle' have the same effect on a display object; rotation is in radians, angle is in degrees.

Member

scale: ObservablePoint

The scale factor of the object. Assignment by value since pixi-v4.

Member

skew: ObservablePoint

The skew factor for the object in radians. Assignment by value since pixi-v4.

Member

sortDirty: boolean

Should children be sorted by zIndex at the next updateTransform call. Will get automatically set to true if a new child is added, or if a child's zIndex changes.

Member

PIXI.Container#sortDirty

sortableChildren: boolean

If set to true, the container will sort its children by zIndex value when updateTransform() is called, or manually if sortChildren() is called.

This actually changes the order of elements in the array, so should be treated as a basic solution that is not performant compared to other solutions, such as

Link

https://github.com/pixijs/pixi-display

Also be aware of that this may not work nicely with the addChildAt() function, as the zIndex sorting may cause the child to automatically sorted to another position.

See

PIXI.settings.SORTABLE_CHILDREN

Member

PIXI.Container#sortableChildren

transform: Transform

World transform and local transform of this object. This will become read-only later, please do not assign anything there unless you know what are you doing.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#transform

visible: boolean

The visibility of the object. If false the object will not be drawn, and the updateTransform function will not be called.

Only affects recursive calls from parent. You can ask for bounds or call updateTransform manually.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#visible

width: number

The width of the Container, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set

Member

worldAlpha: number

The multiplied alpha of the displayObject.

Member

PIXI.DisplayObject#worldAlpha

worldTransform: Matrix

Current transform of the object based on world (parent) factors.

Member

worldVisible: boolean

Indicates if the object is globally visible.

Member

x: number

The position of the displayObject on the x axis relative to the local coordinates of the parent. An alias to position.x

Member

y: number

The position of the displayObject on the y axis relative to the local coordinates of the parent. An alias to position.y

Member

zIndex: number

The zIndex of the displayObject. If a container has the sortableChildren property set to true, children will be automatically sorted by zIndex value; a higher value will mean it will be moved towards the end of the array, and thus rendered on top of other displayObjects within the same container.
