CacheableContainer

A CacheableContainer can be seen as a regular Container, i.e. a Drawable that can have child nodes. The z-order of children is determined by the order in which Drawables are added to the container - the Drawable added last will be front-most on the screen.

The important difference is that a CacheableContainer can also render its content to a dynamic bitmap which can then be used as a texture in subsequent drawing operations, either as a simple Image or in a TextureMapper. If the bitmap format of the dynamic bitmap differs from the format of the current LCD, the LCD from drawing the bitmap must be setup using HAL::setAuxiliaryLCD().

Public Functions Documentation

CacheableContainer

CacheableContainer	(			)

enableCachedMode

void enableCachedMode	(	bool	enable	)

Toggle cached mode on and off.

The CacheableContainer behaves just like a regular Container when cached mode is turned off.

Parameters:

enable	Enable or disable cached mode.

getAlpha

uint8_t getAlpha	(			)	const

Gets the current alpha value of the widget.

The alpha value is in range 255 (solid) to 0 (invisible).

Returns:

The current alpha value.

See also:

setAlpha

getCacheBitmap

BitmapId getCacheBitmap	(			)	const

Get the dynamic bitmap used by the CacheableContainer.

Returns:

the id of the assigned bitmap or BITMAP_INVALID if no bitmap has been assigned.

See also:

setCacheBitmap

invalidateContent

virtual void invalidateContent	(			)	const

Tell the framework that the contents of the Drawable needs to be redrawn.

If the Drawable is invisible, nothing happens. Subclasses of Drawable are encouraged to implement this function and invalidate as little as possible, i.e. the smallest rectangle covering the visual element(s) drawn by the widget.

Reimplements: touchgfx::Container::invalidateContent

invalidateRect

virtual void invalidateRect	(	Rect &	invalidatedArea	)

Request that a subregion of this drawable is redrawn.

Will recursively traverse the children. When this function returns, the specified invalidated area has been redrawn for all appropriate Drawables covering the region.

Parameters:

invalidatedArea	The area of this drawable to redraw expressed in coordinates relative to its parent (e.g. to request a complete redraw, invalidatedArea will be (0, 0, width, height).

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::invalidateRect

isChildInvalidated

bool isChildInvalidated	(			)	const

Queries the CacheableContainer whether any child widget has been invalidated.

Returns:

True if a child widget has been invalidated and false otherwise.

setAlpha

void setAlpha	(	uint8_t	newAlpha	)

Sets the opacity (alpha value).

This can be used to fade it away by gradually decreasing the alpha value from 255 (solid) to 0 (invisible).

Parameters:

newAlpha	The new alpha value. 255=solid, 0=invisible.

Note

The user code must call invalidate() in order to update the display.The alpha is only applied when cached mode is enabled.

See also:

getAlpha enableCachedMode

setCacheBitmap

void setCacheBitmap	(	BitmapId	bitmapId	)

Set the dynamic bitmap into which the container content will be rendered.

The format of the bitmap must be the same as the current LCD or the same as the auxiliary LCD setup using HAL::setAuxiliaryLCD.

Parameters:

bitmapId	Id of the dynamic bitmap to serve as a render target.

See also:

updateCache, getCacheBitmap, HAL::setAuxiliaryLCD

setSolidRect

bool setSolidRect	(	const Rect &	solidRect	)

Set the solid area on the dynamic bitmap assigned to the CacheableContainer.

Parameters:

solidRect	The rectangle of th CacheableContainer that is solid.

Returns:

true if the operation succeeds, false otherwise.

updateCache

void updateCache	(			)

Render the container into the attached dynamic bitmap.

See also:

updateCache

void updateCache	(	const Rect &	rect	)

Render the container into the attached dynamic bitmap.
