Detailed Description

A positioned and sized rectangular node in a tree graph.

This class implements positioning, alignment, sizing including minimum and maximum size constraining. In its bare essense it's an unnamed rectangular node that may contain other unnamed rectangular nodes.

Unless you are implementing new CEGUI functionality you do NOT want to use this class directly. You most likely want to use CEGUI::Window.

See also: CEGUI::Window

Member Function Documentation

void CEGUI::Element::addChild ( Element * element )

Add the specified Element as a child of this Element.

If the Element element is already attached to a different Element, it is detached before being added to this Element.

Parameters

element Pointer to the Element object to be added.

Exceptions

InvalidRequestException	thrown if Element element is NULL.
InvalidRequestException	thrown if Element element is "this" element
InvalidRequestException	thrown if Element element is an ancestor of this Element, to prevent cyclic Element structures.

Sizef CEGUI::Element::calculatePixelSize ( bool skipAllPixelAlignment = false ) const

Calculates this element's pixel size.

Parameters

skipAllPixelAlignment Should all pixel-alignment be skipped when calculating the pixel size?

If you want to get the pixel size you most probably want to use the Element::getPixelSize method. This method skips caching and might impact performance!

const URect& CEGUI::Element::getArea ( ) const

inline

Return the element's area.

Sets the area occupied by this Element. The defined area is offset from one of the corners and edges of this Element's parent element (depending on alignments) or from the top-left corner of the display if this element has no parent (i.e. it is the root element).

Returns: URect describing the rectangle of the element area.

See also: UDim

AspectMode CEGUI::Element::getAspectMode ( ) const

inline

Retrieves currently used aspect mode.

const CachedRectf& CEGUI::Element::getChildContentArea ( const bool non_client = false ) const

inline

Return a Rect that is used to position and size child elements.

It is used as the reference area for positioning and its size is used for the scale components of position and size.

Note: By and large the area returned here will be the same as the unclipped inner rect (for client content) or the unclipped outer rect (for non client content), although certain advanced uses will require alternative Rects to be returned.; The behaviour of this function is modified by overriding the protected Element::getClientChildContentArea and/or Element::getNonClientChildContentArea functions.

Parameters

non_client

true to return the non-client child content area.
false to return the client child content area (default).

Element* CEGUI::Element::getChildElementAtIdx ( size_t idx ) const

inline

return a pointer to the child element that is attached to 'this' at the given index.

Parameters

idx	Index of the child element who's pointer should be returned. This value is not bounds checked, client code should ensure that this is less than the value returned by getChildCount().

Returns: Pointer to the child element currently attached at index position idx

virtual const CachedRectf& CEGUI::Element::getClientChildContentArea ( ) const

fireEvents	true if events should be fired as normal. false to inhibit firing of events (required, for example, if you need to call this from the onSize/onMove handlers).

Reimplemented in CEGUI::Window, and CEGUI::ScrolledContainer.

void CEGUI::Element::setAspectMode ( const AspectMode mode )

Sets current aspect mode and recalculates the area rect.

Parameters

mode	the new aspect mode to set

See also: CEGUI::AspectMode; CEGUI::setAspectRatio

void CEGUI::Element::setAspectRatio ( const float ratio )

Sets target aspect ratio.

Parameters

ratio The desired ratio as width / height. For example 4.0f / 3.0f, 16.0f / 9.0.f, ...

Note: This is ignored if AspectMode is AM_IGNORE.

See also: Element::setAspectMode

void CEGUI::Element::setHeight ( const UDim & height )

inline

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

virtual void CEGUI::Element::setHorizontalAlignment ( const HorizontalAlignment alignment )

virtual

Set the horizontal alignment.

Modifies the horizontal alignment for the element. This setting affects how the element's position is interpreted relative to its parent.

Parameters

alignment One of the HorizontalAlignment enumerated values.

void CEGUI::Element::setMaxSize ( const USize & size )

Set the element's maximum size.

Sets the maximum size that this element area may occupy (whether size changes occur by user interaction, general system operation, or by direct setting by client code).

Note: The scale component of UDim takes display size as the base. It is not dependent on parent element's size!

Parameters

size	USize describing the new maximum size of the element's area. Note that zero is used to indicate that the Element's maximum area size will be unbounded.

See also: Element::setSize

void CEGUI::Element::setMinSize ( const USize & size )

Set the element's minimum size.

Sets the minimum size that this element's area may occupy (whether size changes occur by user interaction, general system operation, or by direct setting by client code).

Note: The scale component of UDim takes display size as the base. It is not dependent on parent element's size!

Parameters

size	USize describing the new minimum size of the element's area.

See also: Element::setSize

void CEGUI::Element::setNonClient ( const bool setting )

Set whether the Element is non-client.

A non-client element is clipped, positioned and sized according to the parent element's full area as opposed to just the inner rect area used for normal client element.

Parameters

setting

true if the element should be clipped, positioned and sized according to the full area rectangle of it's parent.
false if the element should be clipped, positioned and sized according to the inner rect area of it's parent.

virtual void CEGUI::Element::setParent ( Element * parent )

protectedvirtual

Set the parent element for this element object.

Parameters

parent Pointer to a Element object that is to be assigned as the parent to this Element.

Returns: Nothing

Reimplemented in CEGUI::Window.

void CEGUI::Element::setPixelAligned ( const bool setting )

Sets whether this Element is pixel aligned (both position and size, basically the 4 "corners").

Impact on the element tree: Lets say we have Element A with child Element B, A is pixel aligned and it's position is 99.5, 99.5 px in screenspace. This gives us 100, 100 px pixel aligned position.

B's position is always relative to the pixel-aligned position of its parent. Say B isn't pixel-aligned and it's position is 0.5, 0.5 px. Its final position will be 100.5, 100.5 px in screenspace, not 100, 100 px!

If it were pixel-aligned the final position would be 101, 101 px.

Why you should pixel-align widgets: Pixel aligning is enabled by default and for most widgets it makes a lot of sense and just looks better. Especially with text. However for HUD or decorative elements pixel aligning might make transitions less fluid. Feel free to experiment with the setting.

void CEGUI::Element::setPosition ( const UVector2 & pos )

inline

Set the element's position.

Sets the position of the area occupied by this element. The position is offset from one of the corners and edges of this Element's parent element (depending on alignments) or from the top-left corner of the display if this element has no parent (i.e. it is the root element).

Parameters

pos	UVector2 describing the new position of the element area.

See also: UDim; Element::setArea(const UVector2& pos, const USize& size)

void CEGUI::Element::setRotation ( const Quaternion & rotation )

sets rotation of this widget

Parameters

rotation A Quaternion describing the rotation

Euler angles: CEGUI used Euler angles previously. While these are easy to use and seem intuitive they cause Gimbal locks when animating and are overall the worse solution than using Quaternions. You can still use Euler angles, see the CEGUI::Quaternion class for more info about that.

void CEGUI::Element::setSize ( const USize & size )

inline

Set the element's size.

Sets the size of the area occupied by this element.

Parameters

size	USize describing the new size of the element's area.

See also: UDim

virtual void CEGUI::Element::setVerticalAlignment ( const VerticalAlignment alignment )

virtual

Set the vertical alignment.

Modifies the vertical alignment for the element. This setting affects how the element's position is interpreted relative to its parent.

Parameters

alignment One of the VerticalAlignment enumerated values.

void CEGUI::Element::setWidth ( const UDim & width )

inline

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

void CEGUI::Element::setXPosition ( const UDim & pos )

inline

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

void CEGUI::Element::setYPosition ( const UDim & pos )

inline

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.
