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 Louvre.
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 vector 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 vector.

Painting

If the view is renderable, the paintEvent() method must be implemented. This method is called by the scene to request the view to render itself into the current framebuffer. It provides an LPainter, the region of the view to be rendered in global compositor coordinates, and a boolean variable indicating whether blending is enabled. The paintEvent() method is called twice per frame: once for drawing only the opaque regions of the view (blending disabled), and a second pass for the translucent regions (blending enabled).

Note: If you're using custom tools for rendering that can't handle opaque and translucent regions separately, set the view's translucent region to nullptr (see the "Opaque and Translucent Regions" section). This way, only a single paintEvent() with blending enabled will be triggered.

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.

inlinenoexcept

Sets the scalingVector() property.

If scalingEnabled() is true, the view's size will be scaled using the provided scaling vector (nativeSize() * scalingVector()).

The default value is (1.f, 1.f).

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.

◆ scalingVector()

inlinenoexcept

Gets the scaling vector.

See also: setScalingVector().

Parameters

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

Note: Enabling visibility does not guarantee that the view will be rendered, see mapped().

Enabled by default.

◆ visible()

bool visible ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Checks 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.

◆ mapped()

bool mapped ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

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

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

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

◆ setOpacity()

void setOpacity ( Float32 opacity )

inlinenoexcept

Set the view opacity.

This method sets the view's opacity.

The default value is 1.f.

Warning: Opacity values != 1.f should be used with moderation, for example, only during animations, as the opaqueRegion() is not ignored. This means that content behind the view is always repainted when the view changes.

Parameters

opacity The opacity value in the range [0.f, 1.f].

◆ opacity()

Float32 opacity ( bool forceIgnoreParent = false ) const

inlinenoexcept

Gets the view opacity.
