The Dispose action will dispose the currently loaded texture. This frees up computer resources, but the texture will no longer be usable. Note that multiple Drawables can use the same texture, and disposing of it will get rid of the texture information not just for this Drawable, but any Drawable that is using the texture. Dispose should be used when a texture will not be used again. Here are some guide lines for when you should or should not dispose a Drawable: 1. If the Drawable was loaded using Load(text) or Load(File), then the Drawable created new texture data when it was loaded. This can be safely disposed, unless you copied the Drawable, e.g. with Load(Drawable). 2. If the Drawable was loaded as a shape, e.g. with the LoadRectangle action, the Drawable created new texture data when it loaded. It can be safely disposed, unless you copied the Drawable, e.g. with Load(Drawable). 3. If the Drawable was loaded using a Texture or a TextureRegion, such as with the Load(Texture) action, then it is NOT safe to dispose this if there are any other Drawables that are still in use which were also loaded with the same Texture. If there are no other Drawables that were loaded with the Texture, it is safe to dispose. If a texture was used to load multiple Drawables, it is good practice to use the Dispose action directly from the Texture once all of the Drawables are no longer in use. 4. If the Drawable was loaded with an ImageSheet, you should NEVER dispose the Drawable's texture. All Drawables loaded from an ImageSheet use the same Texture data, so disposing of any Drawable from an ImageSheet will delete the ImageSheet's texture data. If you ever wish to dispose an ImageSheet's texture data, it is good practice to use the ImageSheet's Dispose action.

Parameters

• Libraries.Interface.Events.TextureLoadEvent

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.

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

Parameters

Parameters

• Libraries.Interface.Events.MouseEvent

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

Parameters

• Libraries.Interface.Events.TouchEvent

The QueueForDrawing action is what makes a Drawable appear on the screen. This action will automatically be called by the Game class if the Drawable has been added to the Game with the Add(Item) action.

This action requests that this Control should be laid out by its container (or the Layer2D if there is no containing Control) during the next Update.

This action requests that this Control (as well as all of its descendents) should reload their graphics during the next Update.

This action informs the engine that this Item needs to recalculate its vertex values before they can be used (most commonly, to be drawn to the screen). Most users will never need to call this directly. If you are using a custom ShaderProgram with this Item, you can use this action to indicate that the shader mapping should reset the vertex values for this Item before its drawn again.

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

Parameters

• boolean flag

This action is used to indicate that the Control no longer needs to be laid out. This is called internally by the system as needed, and shouldn't be necessary for most users.

This action sets the mass, mass moment of inertia, and how the 2D item should move (via linear velocity) to be at the desired location.

The Resize action is used to recalculate the size and position of Controls that are being controlled by a Layout. Calling Resize on an Item2D won't have a direct effect on it, but if the Item's children hierarchy contains any Controls, those Controls will be resized.

Rotates this Item2D by the given number of degrees. This will also rotate all Items in the children hierarchy of this Item.

Parameters

• number degrees

This action will multiply the current scaling value by the given number. A parameter of 0 or less will be ignored.

Parameters

• number amount

This action will multiply the x scaling and y scaling values, respectively, by the given numbers. A parameter of 0 or less will be ignored.

Parameters

• number xAmount
• number yAmount

This action will multiply the current scaling value by the given number. A parameter of 0 or less will be ignored. This action will increase or decrease the scale of the object from the center, and update the Item's x,y coordinates to reflect the new bottom-left corner of the Item.

Parameters

• number amount

This action will multiply the current scaling values of the x and y planes by the given number. A parameter of 0 or less will be ignored. This action will increase or decrease the scale of the object from the center, and update the Item's x,y coordinates to reflect the new bottom-left corner of the Item.

Parameters

• number xAmount
• number yAmount

This action selects an item in the Control using first letter navigation, if the Control supports it. If the Control doesn't support first letter navigation, this will do nothing.

Parameters

• text firstLetter

This action sets the accent color on the control.

Parameters

• Libraries.Game.Graphics.ColorGroup: the accent control.

This action sets whether or not this Item accepts mouse input. If set to true, this will intercept incoming mouse events, triggering any related MouseListeners and InputSets and preventing the mouse event from propagating to other Items on the Layer. The default value is true.

Parameters

• boolean accepts: True to set this Item to receive mouse events, or false to ignore them.

This action changes the accessibility code for this Item. This should be done with care because setting the accessiblity code to the incorrect type can cause accessibility to stop functioning or, in some cases, cause the program to crash.

Parameters

• integer newAccessibilityCode: the new accessibility code for this Item.

This action sets a custom accessibility role description for this item. This should only be done if there is not a standard accessibility code for the type of item being implemented. If the item behaves very similarly to a standard control type, then set the accessibility code to that standard type while also setting the role description. For example, if implementing an item that extends Control, is keyboard focusable, and responds to activation via both mouse clicks and the Space key, like a button, but it shouldn't be described as a button, then set the accessibility code to BUTTON and the custom role description to whatever is appropriate. If there isn't a suitable accessibility code, or if in doubt, set the accessibility code to CUSTOM.

Parameters

• text newRoleDescription: the new custom role description for this Item.

Sets the alpha of the Drawable. The alpha represents how transparent the Drawable is. The given value should be between 0 and 1, where a value of 0 is totally transparent, and a value of 1 is totally opaque.

Parameters

• number alpha

This action gets the rotational inertia of this item. The inertia is in kilogram units squared.

Parameters

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

• boolean shouldProcess

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

• Libraries.Game.Graphics.Painter2D

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

• boolean clip: True to enable pixel clipping, false to disable.

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.
