PixelDataWidget

touchgfx/widgets/PixelDataWidget.hpp

A widget for displaying a buffer of pixel data. This can also be though of as a dynamic bitmap where the dimensions of the bitmap is the same as the dimensions of the widget and the actual bitmap data can be set and updated dynamically. The size of the buffer must match the number of bytes required for the widget calculated as WIDTH x HEIGHT x BYTES_PER_PIXEL. If the LCD is 16 bit per pixel the buffer must hold 2 bytes for each pixel. If the LCD is 24 bit the buffer must hold 3 bytes for each pixel.

Public Functions Documentation

draw

virtual void draw(const Rect &invalidatedArea)

Draw this drawable.

It is a requirement that the draw implementation does not draw outside the region specified by invalidatedArea.

Parameters:
invalidatedAreaThe sub-region of this drawable that needs to be redrawn, expressed in coordinates relative to its parent (e.g. for a complete redraw, invalidatedArea will be (0, 0, width, height).

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::draw

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:

getBitmapFormat

Bitmap::BitmapFormat getBitmapFormat()const

Get the format of the pixel data previously set using setBitmapFormat().

Returns:

The bitmap format.

See also:

getPixelData

uint8_t * getPixelData()const

Get the pixel data memory pointer, previously set with setPixelData().

Returns:

The pixel data.

See also:

getSolidRect

virtual Rect getSolidRect()const

Get (the largest possible) rectangle that is guaranteed to be solid (opaque).

This information is important, as any Drawable underneath the solid area does not need to be drawn.

Returns:

The solid rectangle part of the Drawable.

Note

The rectangle returned must be relative to upper left corner of the Drawable, meaning that a completely solid widget should return the full size Rect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight()). If no area can be guaranteed to be solid, an empty Rect must be returned. Failing to return the correct rectangle may result in errors on the display.

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::getSolidRect

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::Drawable::invalidateContent

PixelDataWidget

setAlpha

void setAlpha(uint8_tnewAlpha)

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:
newAlphaThe new alpha value. 255=solid, 0=invisible.
Note

The user code must call invalidate() in order to update the display.

See also:

setBitmapFormat

Set the format of the pixel data.

The supported formats depend on the display type. For example grayscale displays do not support color images.

Parameters:
bitmapFormatDescribes the format to use when reading the pixel data.
See also:

setPixelData

void setPixelData(uint8_t *constdata)

Set the pixel data to display.

The given pointer must contain WIDTH x HEIGHT x BYTES_PER_PIXEL bytes of addressable image data.

Parameters:
dataImage data.

uint8_t alpha
