Pixel

Supported platforms:
Available since: Gideros 2016.06
Inherits from: Sprite

Description

A rectangular Sprite which can be filled with solid colors, gradients or textures. Pixel aims at being a simpler and faster alternative to Shape when needing to display a coloured box or box with a gradient. It is also useful as Bitmap replacement since every texture will be fitted into Pixel dimensions automatically.

Examples

local mypixel = Pixel.new(0x0000FF, 0.75, 128, 128)
mypixel:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
mypixel:setPosition(application:getContentWidth() / 2, 64)

stage:addChild(mypixel)

application:setBackgroundColor(0x323232)
local p = Pixel.new(0xffffff, 1, 32, 32)
 
p:set("redMultiplier", 1) -- OK
p:set("greenMultiplier", 0) -- OK
p:set("blueMultiplier", 0) -- OK
p:set("alphaMultiplier", 1) -- OK
--p:set("anchorX", .5) -- NOT OK
--p:set("anchorY", .5) -- NOT OK
p:set("anchorX", 16) -- OK
p:set("anchorY", 16) -- OK
p:set("alpha", .5) -- OK
p:set("scaleX", 1.5) -- OK
p:set("rotation", 10) -- OK
p:set("x", 32) -- OK
p:set("y", 32) -- OK

stage:addChild(p)
