Libraries.Interface.Controls.Charts.Chart Documentation

This class represents a generic chart on the system. By default, charts present visual information to the user and also present themselves as accessible controls to the operating system. This includes a selection, called ChartSelection, that can be queried for information that is relevant to particular kinds of charts. For example, a bar chart might have labels, axes, and bars. Each of these can be navigated up and down to go between parents, with the top-most level being a summary and any ChartItems underneath being representations of the underlying structure of the chart. To put this in perspective, consider that a bar chart might allow one to navigate to a level of a chart that contains the axes, bars, and labels. On the bars, if one presses the down arrow, this now allows the user to navigate between the bars for information and this changes the default selection, which informs the operating system of the change. The broad purpose of this architecture is that it allows the chart to have an overall structure that is different from the graphical structure, allowing the chart itself to set reasonable defaults for how to navigate the control with the keyboard

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Controls.Charts
    use Libraries.Game.Game

    class Main is Games
        action Main
            StartGame()
        end

        action CreateGame
            BarChart chart
            Add(chart)

Actions Documentation

Activate(Libraries.Interface.Events.BehaviorEvent event)

The MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO layout style is used to calculate one of the dimensions of the Control relative to the other dimension. For example, it can be used to ensure that the width of a Control is always 120% of the height. This style can only be used to calculate one of the two dimensions (width or height) at a time. For example, if the horizontal layout style is MAINTAIN_ASPECT_RATIO, the vertical layout style must be different, such as using the STANDARD style.

Parameters

Activate()

This action returns a default behavior for this paricular control. Some controls do nothing by default, like a TextBox that responds to different kinds of input. Others, however, have default behaviors, like a Button or a MenuItem. If there is no default behavior, this action returns undefined.

Add(integer index, Libraries.Interface.Item2D newItem)

This action adds a different Item2D into this one, storing the added Item2D at a specific index in the internal array.

This action destroys the nodes for this item for the broadphase collision, essentially removing it from the collision detection system. This action is used internally and users should not need to use this action.

Parameters

Display(boolean exit)

This action creates a default Game object for displaying charts and sets this chart as the sole display. It is useful for interacting with charts without creating a complex game setup. The exit flag tells the system, if true, to close the pre-built display right after completing layout, which can be useful for writing to disk.

Parameters

Display(integer width, integer height)

This action creates a default Game object for displaying charts and sets this chart as the sole display. It is useful for interacting with charts without creating a complex game setup.

Parameters

Display()

This action creates a default Game object for displaying charts and sets this chart as the sole display. It is useful for interacting with charts without creating a complex game setup.

Display(integer width, integer height, boolean exit)

This action creates a default Game object for displaying charts and sets this chart as the sole display. It is useful for interacting with charts without creating a complex game setup. The exit flag tells the system, if true, to close the pre-built display right after completing layout, which can be useful for writing to disk.

Parameters

Dispose()

This action is used to free up any additional memory that is being used by this Item for purposes such as graphics. Note that the Item class doesn't have any extra memory that needs to be released with this action, but some classes which inherit from Item, such as Libraries.Game.Graphics.Drawable, do.

DisposeAll()

This action is used to call Dispose on this Item and on the entire children hierarchy of this Item.

DisposeChildren()

This action is used to call Dispose on the entire children hierarchy of this Item. This will not call Dispose on this Item.

DisposeDrawables()

This action will flip the axis min/max and any labels associated. Then the un-used axis will be deactivated so it won't interfere with the accessibility navigation.

Draw(Libraries.Game.Graphics.Painter2D painter)

The Draw action is used to perform custom drawing on this Item and its children. This is only called during the Game engine's draw phase if this Item has enabled custom drawing via the SetCustomDrawing action. This is an advanced feature, and shouldn't be used by most users. If custom drawing is enabled, this action should be overriden -- if it isn't, the Item will attempt to provide default rendering for itself, its view, and its children, without regard to depth buffering. This action is responsible for instructing the provided Painter on how to draw this item, the view, and its children, and in what order to do so.

Parameters

        parentItem:Empty()

EmptyAll()

This action will call Empty on the entire children hierarchy of this item, and then empty this item as well.

EmptyChildren()

This action is used to call Empty on all children contained in this item's children hierarchy. This will not empty the children of this item.

EmptySelectionListeners()

EnablePhysics(boolean flag)

This action enables physics for this item. Passing true turns on physics for this item while passing false turns off physics for this item.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Drawable

    Drawable circle
    circle:LoadFilledCircle(30)
    circle:EnablePhysics(true)

Parameters

EndMouseOver()

A layout which is used to arrange the children of this object.

Equals(Libraries.Language.Object object)

        boolean result = o:Equals(t)

Parameters

Return

boolean: True if the hash codes are equal and false if they are not equal.

FastMoving(boolean flag)

This action gets the linear velocity of this item in units per second. Physics must be enabled on this item before using this action.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D
    use Libraries.Compute.Vector2

    Item2D item
    Vector2 velocity

    item:SetWidth(100)
    item:SetHeight(100)
    item:EnablePhysics(true)
    velocity:Set(100, 0)
    item:SetLinearVelocity(velocity)

    Vector2 currentVelocity = item:GetLinearVelocity()

Parameters

FinishCollision(Libraries.Interface.Item item)

This action is used to indicate that two items that were previously colliding no longer are. The FinishCollision action should be called on both Items involved, with the other item passed as a parameter to the action. Note that this action does nothing by default, but classes that inherit from Item may override it.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item

        Item collider1
        Item collider2
        collider1:FinishCollision(collider2)
        collider2:FinishCollision(collider1)

Parameters

FlipAxisInfo()

This action will flip the axis min/max and any labels associated. Then the un-used axis will be deactivated so it won't interfere with the accessibility navigation.

FlipOrientation()

FlipX()

This action will flip the Item2D across the X-axis. This flip is represented by the internal vertices of the Item2D. For classes that inherit from Item and can draw on the screen, this will flip the drawn image on the screen.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D
        
        Item2D myItem
        myItem:FlipX()

FlipY()

This action will flip the Item2D across the Y-axis. This flip is represented by the internal vertices of the Item2D. For classes that inherit from Item and can draw on the screen, this will flip the drawn image on the screen.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D
        
        Item2D myItem
        myItem:FlipY()

Focus()

This action sets focus on this Item. If the Item is not focusable, it will instead look through the parent hierarchy and set focus on the first focusable ancestor. If no focusable Item can be found, this action will have no effect.

GainedFocus(Libraries.Interface.Events.FocusEvent event)

This action is fired if the item received the focus.

Parameters

GainedSelection(Libraries.Interface.Controls.Charts.ChartItem item)

Unlike many kinds of user interface controls, there is no universal way of interacting with a chart and, as such, this may be defined by any chart to be custom. As such, charts must be able to take messages suggesting an item in the chart has either lost or gained the focus. Broadly speaking, this is done automatically and while charts need to implement this action, they do not need to call this action directly.

Parameters

GainedSelection()

The LayoutProperties that were last used to define the properties of this Control. Used to indicate when graphics should be reloaded due to Layout changes.

GetDefaultFont()

This action obtains the default font for this control. This allows individual controls to customize their default font properties on a per control basis. By default, the system asks for the default system font name on a per control basis, then loads that font and returns it. Font loading is shared, so loading many fonts of the same type and size is not particularly expensive and can be done without much concern for memory requirements.

IsSimulationRequired()

This action sets the x-component of this item's linear velocity in units per second. Physics must be enabled on this item before using this action.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

    Item2D item

    item:SetWidth(100)
    item:SetHeight(100)
    item:EnablePhysics(true)
    item:SetLinearVelocityX(100)

Return

boolean:

IsUnmovable()

This action creates the nodes for this item for the broadphase collision. This action is needed in order to add the item to the collision detection system. This action is used internally and users should not need to use this action.

Return

boolean:

LoadGraphics(Libraries.Interface.Layouts.LayoutProperties properties)

Parameters

LostFocus(Libraries.Interface.Events.FocusEvent event)

This action is fired if the item lost the focus.

Parameters

LostSelection()

The default LayoutProperties, used by many controls to set their base visual information and provide default values.

LostSelection(Libraries.Interface.Controls.Charts.ChartItem item)

Unlike many kinds of user interface controls, there is no universal way of interacting with a chart and, as such, this may be defined by any chart to be custom. As such, charts must be able to take messages suggesting an item in the chart has either lost or gained the focus. Broadly speaking, this is done automatically and while charts need to implement this action, they do not need to call this action directly.

Parameters

Move(Libraries.Compute.Vector2 movement)

This action will increase the x and y coordinates of this Item by the values stored in the provided Vector2.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D
        use Libraries.Compute.Vector2

        Item2D myItem
        myItem:SetX(50)
        myItem:SetY(80)
        Vector2 vector
        vector:Set(25, -20)
        myItem:Move(vector)

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

        Item2D myItem
        myItem:SetX(50)
        myItem:SetY(80)
        myItem:Move(25, -20)

Parameters

MoveX(number xAmount)

This action will increase the x-coordinate of this Item by the given amount.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

        Item2D myItem
        myItem:SetX(50)
        myItem:MoveX(25)

This action returns whether or not the Control is in need of laying out by its container (or the parent Layer2D, if no container Control exists).

Return

boolean:

NeedsTreeUpdate()

This action indicates whether the system needs its graphics updated.

Return

boolean: whether or not an update is required

NotifyControlActivationListeners(Libraries.Interface.Events.ControlActivationEvent event)

The FILL layout style will attempt to fill the remaining width or height of the container with this Control. Note that this is only effective if the container's dimensions are already known independently of this element's size -- for example, a FILL layout can't be effectively used if the container's layout style is FIT_CONTENTS.

Parameters

NotifySelectionListeners(Libraries.Interface.Events.SelectionEvent event)

This action will notify all SelectionListeners which have been added to the Control of the given SelectionEvent.

Parameters

OpenItem()

This action opens the chart item if it has children If it has children and is already open it moves to first child.

OrientationChanged()

Return

boolean

OverrideXLabelsWithText(Libraries.Containers.Array<text> labels)

This action is used by the layout to position the graphical components of the Chart. Layout is handled automatically so users don't need to use this action directly.

Parameters

OverrideYLabelsWithText(Libraries.Containers.Array<text> labels)

This action is used by the layout to position the graphical components of the Chart. Layout is handled automatically so users don't need to use this action directly.

Parameters

PrepareVertices()

Checks to see if the Item2D's internal vertices are up to date, and updates them if they are not. This is used primarily internally to ensure that the item's vertices are properly aligned before use, e.g. to project an image on the screen at the coordinates of the vertices. Most users will never need to use this action directly.

ProcessMouseEvent(Libraries.Interface.Events.MouseEvent event)

This action takes a mouse event and handles it. It will first test to see if the mouse event took place within the bounds of this Item. If so, it will notify any MouseListeners of the event. If the event was not contained within this Item, or if there are no MouseListeners on this Item, the Item will ask its parent Item to process the mouse event, if there is a parent.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D
        use Libraries.Interface.Events.MouseEvent
        use Libraries.Interface.Events.MouseListener
        Item2D myItem
        MouseListener listener
        myItem:AddMouseListener(listener)
        MouseEvent event
        event:eventType = event:CLICKED_MOUSE
        myItem:ProcessMouseEvent(event)

Parameters

ProcessTouchEvent(Libraries.Interface.Events.TouchEvent event)

FIX ME: Needs comments

Parameters

QueueForDrawing(Libraries.Game.Graphics.Painter2D painter)

This action is used to draw this Item on the screen, and then draw all of the Item's children hierarchy on the screen. Note that Items themselves can not be drawn, but some classes that extend the Item class, such as the Libraries.Game.Graphics.Drawable class, can be. To see how they draw, see their documentation.

Parameters

ReleasedMouse()

This action obtains the Input Table from this control, copies it, assigns it a group name, sets the control to use the new input table, and then adds it to the global input table hash table.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Game
        use Libraries.Interface.Controls.TextBox
        use Libraries.Game.InputTable

        class Main is Game
            action Main
                StartGame()
            end

            action CreateGame
                TextBox box
                InputTable copy = box:CopyAndActivateInputTable("New Group")
            end

            action Update(number seconds)
            end
        end

Remove(integer index)

This action adds a different Item2D into this one. This makes a few things happen. 1. The added item will get this item as its parent. 2. The added item's x and y coordinates will become relative to this Item. 3. Most actions on this Item will also affect the added Item.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

        Item2D parentItem
        Item2D child
        parentItem:Add(child)

Parameters

Return

Libraries.Interface.Item2D:

Remove(Libraries.Interface.Item2D item)

This action adds a different Item2D into this one, storing the added Item2D at a specific index in the internal array.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

        Item2D parentItem
        Item2D child
        parentItem:Add(0, child)

Parameters

Return

boolean:

RemoveControlActivationListener(Libraries.Interface.Events.ControlActivationListener listener)

The FIT_CONTENTS layout style will calculate this Control's dimensions as the combined total dimensions of its children elements. Because children elements often need to have some concrete information about the parent's dimensions, it's recommended to only use this in one of the two directions (horizontally or vertically) for the Control. For example, FlowLayouts work well with elements with a predetermined STANDARD horizontal layout style and using FIT_CONTENTS for the vertical layout style.

Parameters

RemoveFocusListener(Libraries.Interface.Events.FocusListener listener)

This action removes a FocusListener from the Item. The listener will no longer receive notification if the Item gets a FocusEvent.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item

This action is used by the layout to position the graphical components of the Chart. Layout is handled automatically so users don't need to use this action directly.

Parameters

SetChartAreaWidthPercent(number value)

This action is used by the layout to position the graphical components of the Chart. Layout is handled automatically so users don't need to use this action directly.

Parameters

SetChildrenProcessingMouseEvents(boolean shouldProcess)

The SetChildrenProcessingMouseEvents action is used to set whether or not children items should receive mouse events if this Item is using custom drawing. This affects only custom drawing Items -- if the Item isn't drawing, children objects will always receive the mouse events first. This value is false by default. This is an advanced feature only necessary for complex custom components, and most users will not need to use this.

Parameters

SetClipCoordinates(Libraries.Game.Graphics.Painter2D painter)

This action sets the clipping coordinates of the given painter to respect the coordinates of this Item (if it's clipping) as well as any clipping being performed by parent Items. This action is called automatically by the Game engine as necessary, and most users will never need to use this action directly.

Parameters

SetClipping(boolean clip)

The SetClipping action is used to enable or disable clipping. If it is enabled, when the Item and its children are drawn as part of the QueueForDrawing action, any pixels that would be drawn outside of the unrotated dimensions of the Item are not rendered. In other words, the Item will only draw inside the exact rectangle formed by its x, y position and its width and height.

Parameters

SetCollidable(boolean flag)

This action sets this item to be collidable. Passing true turns on collision for this item while passing false turns off collision for this item.

Example Code

use Libraries.Game.Graphics.Drawable
    
    Drawable circle
    circle:LoadFilledCircle(30)
    circle:SetCollidable(true)

Parameters

SetCollideWithChildren(boolean flag)

This action gets the position of the item in physics space from the previous frame. This action is used internally and users should not need to use this action

Parameters

SetCollisionGroupFlag(boolean flag)

This action sets the total torque on this item. The units are kilogram units squared per second per second. This action should be used to set the total torque on this item. If we want to apply a torque to this item, we should use the ApplyTorque actions instead. Physics must be enabled on this action before using this action.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

    Item2D item

    item:SetWidth(100)
    item:SetHeight(100)
    item:EnablePhysics(true)
    item:SetTorque(200)

Parameters

SetCollisionGroupIndex(integer index)

This action sets the total force on this item. The units are kilogram units per second per second. This action should be used to set the total force on this item. If we want to apply a force to this item, we should use the ApplyForce actions instead. Physics must be enabled on this item before using this action.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D
    use Libraries.Compute.Vector2

    Item2D item
    Vector2 force

    item:SetWidth(100)
    item:SetHeight(100)
    item:EnablePhysics(true)
    force:Set(300, 350)
    item:SetForce(force)

Parameters

SetCollisionList(Libraries.Game.Collision.CollisionEdge2D edge)

This is an action used internally by the physics system to keep track of the collisions with this item in a linked list structure. This action sets the head of the linked list of collisions to the passed CollisionEdge2D object. This action is used internally and users should not need to use this action.

SetCustomDrawing(boolean isCustom)

The SetCustomDrawing action is used to indicate that this Item wants to directly manage how itself and its children are drawn. When this is set to true, the Item must be responsible for determining this rendering via the Draw(Painter2D) action -- if this action isn't overridden, the Item and its children won't be drawn. This is an advanced feature only necessary for complex custom components, and most users will not need to use this functionality.

Parameters

SetDensity(number density)

This action applies an angular impulse to this item. The units are in kilogram units squared per second. This modifies the angular velocity of this item. Physics must be enabled on this item before using this action.

Example Code

use Libraries.Interface.Item2D

        Item item
        item:SetDescription("Used for demo purposes.")

Parameters

SetFlipX(boolean flip)

This action will set the Item2D to be flipped across the X-axis according to the boolean. If the boolean value is false, the Item2D will be set to its unflipped state. If it is true, the Item will be set to its flipped state.

Example Code

        Item2D myItem
        myItem:SetFlipY(true)

Parameters

SetFocusable(boolean focus)

The SetFocusable action sets whether or not this Item should be focusable. If the Item is currently focused and made unfocusable, then it will lose focus, and there will be no focused element.

Parameters

SetFont(Libraries.Game.Graphics.Font font)

This action sets the Font to be used by this Control. How this Font is used varies between Controls, and in some cases the Control will ignore it entirely (for example, ScrollPanes), but typically this sets the font that's used for the default label on many Controls, such as Buttons. If the Font is undefined, many Controls will omit their default label.

Parameters

SetFontColor(Libraries.Game.Graphics.Color color)

Parameters

SetFontSize(integer size)

legend:DisplayOnTop() or legend:DisplayOnBottom

Parameters

SetForce(Libraries.Compute.Vector2 force)

This action sets the total force on this item. The units are kilogram units per second per second. This action should be used to set the total force on this item.
