Base class for LScene views. More...

Detailed Description

Base class for LScene views.

The LView class provides a base interface for creating views that can be shown in an LScene.
This class should be used for creating custom views that are different from those shipped with the library.
Louvre provides a pre-made set of views for most common purposes:

LLayerView: This view is used only as a container for other views and is not renderable on its own.
LSurfaceView: This view can be used to display client surfaces.
LTextureView: This view can be used to display textures.
LSolidColorView: This view can be used to display solid color rectangles.
LSceneView: This view is a scene on its own, and its content is rendered in its own framebuffer.

Stacking

Each view can have a parent and multiple children. This hierarchy and the order given by their children views list determine the stacking order in which they are rendered.
Children views are always stacked on top of its parent, and the last view in a children list is the one stacked on top the rest.

Creating custom views

To create a custom view, you must implement several virtual methods. In summary, for an LScene or LSceneView to be able to render an LView, it must provide the following information:

Position

The position of the view in surface coordinates must be returned by the nativePos() virtual method.
This method is used by the pos() method, which returns the position equal to nativePos(), or transformed if parent offset or parent scaling is enabled.

Size

The size of the view in surface coordinates should be implemented in the nativeSize() virtual method. This size is then returned by the size() method if no transformation is applied, or may differ if scaling or parent scaling is enabled.

Mapping

To tell a scene if the view is visible, the nativeMapped() bool method must be implemented. This is then returned by the mapped() method, which may differ from nativeMapped() if the visible() property is different, or if the view has no parent, or if its parent is mapped. In summary, a view can only be mapped if nativeMapped() is true, the visible() property is true, it has a parent, and the parent is also mapped.

Renderable

If the view has content that can be rendered, for example, a texture, then the isRenderable() method must return true. On the other hand, if the view is simply a container for other views and is not renderable on its own, then it should return false.

Intersected Outputs

The outputs() virtual method must return a list with the outputs where the view is currently visible. When the view changes, repaint() is called, and all those intersected outputs are scheduled for repainting. The scene informs which outputs a view is currently on based on its rect through the enteredOutput() and leftOutput() virtual methods. So, those methods must be used to update the intersected outputs list.

Painting

If the view is renderable, the paintRect() method must be implemented.
This method provides the src rect within the view and the dst rect within the destination framebuffer to render in surface coordinates, along with the scale that must be used and LPainter.

Damage

To inform the scene about which rects within the view must be re-rendered (due to changes), the damage() virtual method must return an LRegion containing the damaged rects. If nullptr is returned, the entire view is considered damaged.
The scene automatically damages the entire view if its position, size, or stacking order changes from one frame to another, so it's not necessary to add damage in those cases. Usually, the damage should be cleared once the view has been rendered. To determine if a view was rendered on a specific output, the requestNextFrame() method is invoked by the scene. So within that method, the damage should be cleared.

Opaque and Translucent region

To prevent the scene view from rendering views occluded by opaque regions, the translucentRegion() and opaqueRegion() must be implemented. They must return an LRegion with the translucent and opaque regions, respectively, in surface coordinates.
If translucentRegion() returns nullptr, the entire view is considered translucent. On the other hand, if opaqueRegion is nullptr, the opaque region is considered the inverse of the translucentRegion(). So normally, it's only needed to specify the translucent region. The opaque region must be specified if it has been calculated before so that the scene can use that information and prevent re-calculating the inverse translucent region.

Input region

To define which parts of the view can receive pointer or touch events, the inputRegion() must be implemented. If nullptr is returned, the entire view is considered capable of receiving events.

Input events

Scenes can trigger specific input events on views through the pointerEnterEvent(), pointerMoveEvent(), keyEvent(), and other related methods. Implement these virtual methods to listen and respond to those events if needed.

Get the scaling vector for the view's size.

This method returns the scaling vector for the view's size.

Parameters

forceIgnoreParent If set to false, the vector is multiplied by the parent scaling vector.

Returns: The scaling vector for the view's size.

◆ setScalingVector()

void setScalingVector ( const LSizeF & scalingVector )

Set the scaling vector for the view's size.

If scalingEnabled() returns true, the view's size will be scaled using the provided scaling vector (nativeSize() * scalingVector()). Setting a value to 1 disables scaling for that axis.

Parameters

scalingVector The (width, height) scaling vector for the view's size.

Warning: Scaling should be used with moderation, preferably during animations, as damage tracking is disabled due to precision loss caused by scaling. This means the entire view is repainted if changes occur, which can be inefficient.

◆ visible()

bool visible ( ) const

Check if the view is marked as visible.

This method indicates whether the view is marked as visible. However, it does not directly indicate if the view will be rendered. To check if the view will be rendered, use the mapped() property instead.

Returns: true if the view is marked as visible, false otherwise.

◆ setVisible()

void setVisible ( bool visible )

Toggle the view visibility.

Enabling visibility does not guarantee that the view will be rendered. On the other hand, disabling it directly indicates that it is not mapped and will not be rendered.

See also: mapped()

Parameters

visible If true, the view will be marked as visible; if false, it will be marked as not visible.

◆ mapped()

bool mapped ( ) const

Check if the view should be rendered, taking into consideration several boolean conditions.

This method indicates whether the view should be rendered, considering the nativeMapped() && visible() && parent() && parent()->mapped() boolean operation.

Returns: true if the view should be rendered, false otherwise.

◆ opacity()

Float32 opacity ( bool forceIgnoreParent = false ) const

Get the current view opacity.

This method returns the current view opacity.

Parameters

forceIgnoreParent If set to false, the opacity is multiplied by the parent's opacity.

Returns: The view's opacity value in the range [0.0, 1.0].

◆ setOpacity()

void setOpacity ( Float32 opacity )

Set the view opacity.

This method sets the view's opacity. Setting the value to 1.0 disables opacity.

Warning: Opacity should be used with moderation, for example, only on animations, as the opaqueRegion() is not considered in the scenario, so the content behind the view is always repainted when the view changes.

Parameters

opacity The opacity value in the range [0.0, 1.0].

◆ parentOpacityEnabled()

bool parentOpacityEnabled ( ) const

Check if the view's opacity is multiplied by its parent's opacity.

This method returns true if the view's opacity is multiplied by its parent's opacity, false otherwise.

		Float32	g,
		Float32	b,
		Float32	a
	)

Set the color factor.

This method allows you to set a color factor that influences the resulting color of every painting operation. By default, the color factor is (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0), which has no effect on the colors.

Parameters

r	Value of the red component (range [0.0, 1.0]).
g	Value of the green component (range [0.0, 1.0]).

Implemented in LTextureView, LSurfaceView, LSolidColorView, LSceneView, and LLayerView.

◆ translucentRegion()

virtual const LRegion* translucentRegion ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the translucent region within the view rectangle.

The region rects are specified in surface coordinates within the view, without any scaling, clipping, or offset transformations.
If nullptr is returned, the entire view rect will be considered translucent.

Implemented in LTextureView, LSurfaceView, LSolidColorView, LSceneView, and LLayerView.

◆ opaqueRegion()

virtual const LRegion* opaqueRegion ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the opaque region within the view rectangle.

The region rects are specified in surface coordinates within the view, without any scaling, clipping, or offset transformations.
If nullptr is returned, the inverse of the translucent region will be considered opaque.

Implemented in LTextureView, LSurfaceView, LSolidColorView, LSceneView, and LLayerView.

◆ inputRegion()

virtual const LRegion* inputRegion ( ) const

pure virtual

Region within the view rect that can receive input events (when the inputEnabled() property is enabled).

The region rects are specified in surface coordinates within the view, without any scaling, clipping, or offset transformations.
If nullptr is returned, the entire view rect will receive input.

Implemented in LTextureView, LSurfaceView, LSolidColorView, LSceneView, and LLayerView.

◆ paintRect()

virtual void paintRect	(	LPainter *	p,
		Int32	srcX,
		Int32	srcY,
		Int32	srcW,
		Int32	srcH,
		Int32	dstX,
		Int32	dstY,
		Int32	dstW,
		Int32	dstH,
		Float32	scale,
		Float32	alpha
	)

pure virtual

Request to paint a rectangle of the view to the current framebuffer.

This method is used by LSceneView to request the view to paint a specified rectangular area on the current framebuffer. The painting is performed using the provided LPainter object with the specified source and destination surface coordinates, size, scaling, and alpha value.

Note: Alternatively, you have the option to use your own custom OpenGL shaders/program for rendering, in place of the provided LPainter.

Parameters

p	The LPainter object to perform the painting.
srcX	The source x-coordinate within the view to copy from.
srcY	The source y-coordinate within the view to copy from.
srcW	The width of the source area to copy from.
srcH	The height of the source area to copy from.
dstX	The destination x-coordinate within the output to paint on.
dstY	The destination y-coordinate within the output to paint on.
dstW	The width of the destination area to paint on.
dstH	The height of the destination area to paint on.
scale	The scaling factor to be applied during painting.
alpha	The alpha (transparency) value to be applied during painting.

Implemented in LTextureView, LSurfaceView, LSolidColorView, LSceneView, and LLayerView.

◆ pointerEnterEvent()

void pointerEnterEvent ( const LPoint & localPos )

virtual

Handle the pointer enter event within the view.

Parameters

localPos The local position of the pointer within the view.

◆ pointerMoveEvent()

void pointerMoveEvent ( const LPoint & localPos )

virtual

Handle the pointer move event within the view.

This event is only called if pointerEnterEvent() was called before, and therefore when pointerIsOver() returns true.

Parameters

localPos The local position of the pointer within the view.

◆ pointerLeaveEvent()

void pointerLeaveEvent ( )

virtual

Handle the pointer leave event within the view.

◆ pointerButtonEvent()

void pointerButtonEvent	(	LPointer::Button	button,
		LPointer::ButtonState	state
	)

virtual

Handle the pointer button event within the view.

This event is only called if pointerEnterEvent() was called before, and therefore when pointerIsOver() returns true.

Parameters

button	The button that triggered the event (e.g., left button, right button, etc.).
state	The state of the button (e.g., pressed, released, etc.).

◆ pointerAxisEvent()

void pointerAxisEvent	(	Float64	axisX,
		Float64	axisY,
		Int32	discreteX,
		Int32	discreteY,
		UInt32	source
	)

virtual

Handle the pointer axis event within the view.

This event is only called if pointerEnterEvent() was called before, and therefore when pointerIsOver() returns true.

Parameters

axisX	The x-coordinate of the axis movement.
axisY	The y-coordinate of the axis movement.
discreteX	The discrete x-coordinate of the axis movement.
discreteY	The discrete y-coordinate of the axis movement.
source	The source of the axis event (e.g., mouse wheel, touchpad, etc.).

◆ keyModifiersEvent()

void keyModifiersEvent	(	UInt32	depressed,
		UInt32	latched,
		UInt32	locked,
		UInt32	group
	)

virtual

Handle the key modifiers event within the view.

Keyboard events are allways called, even if inputEnabled() is set to false.

Parameters

depressed	The state of the depressed key modifiers.
latched	The state of the latched key modifiers.
locked	The state of the locked key modifiers.
group	The key group state.

◆ keyEvent()

void keyEvent	(	UInt32	keyCode,
		UInt32	keyState
	)

virtual

Handle the key event within the view.

Keyboard events are allways called, even if inputEnabled() is set to false.

Parameters

keyCode	The code of the key that triggered the event.
keyState	The state of the key (e.g., pressed, released, etc.).
