A Texture consists of a source, usually an Image from the Cache, and a collection of Frames. The Frames represent the different areas of the Texture. For example a texture atlas may have many Frames, one for each element within the atlas. Where-as a single image would have just one frame, that encompasses the whole image.

Every Texture, no matter where it comes from, always has at least 1 frame called the __BASE frame. This frame represents the entirety of the source image.

Textures are managed by the global TextureManager. This is a singleton class that is responsible for creating and delivering Textures and their corresponding Frames to Game Objects.

Sprites and other Game Objects get the texture data they need from the TextureManager.

Constructor:

new Texture(manager, key, source, [width], [height])

Parameters:

name type arguments description
manager Phaser.Textures.TextureManager

A reference to the Texture Manager this Texture belongs to.

key string

The unique string-based key of this Texture.

source HTMLImageElement | HTMLCanvasElement | Array.<HTMLImageElement> | Array.<HTMLCanvasElement>

An array of sources that are used to create the texture. Usually Images, but can also be a Canvas.

width number <optional>

The width of the Texture. This is optional and automatically derived from the source images.

height number <optional>

The height of the Texture. This is optional and automatically derived from the source images.

Description:

The total number of Frames in this Texture, including the __BASE frame.

A Texture will always contain at least 1 frame because every Texture contains a __BASE frame by default, in addition to any extra frames that have been added to it, such as when parsing a Sprite Sheet or Texture Atlas.

Methods

add(name, sourceIndex, x, y, width, height)
Focus
Focus

Description:

Adds a new Frame to this Texture.

A Frame is a rectangular region of a TextureSource with a unique index or string-based key.

The name given must be unique within this Texture. If it already exists, this method will return null.

Parameters:

name type description
name number | string

The name of this Frame. The name is unique within the Texture.

sourceIndex number

The index of the TextureSource that this Frame is a part of.

x number

The x coordinate of the top-left of this Frame.

y number

The y coordinate of the top-left of this Frame.

width number

The width of this Frame.

height number

The height of this Frame.

Returns:
Description:

The Frame that was added to this Texture, or null if the given name already exists.

get([name])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Gets a Frame from this Texture based on either the key or the index of the Frame.

In a Texture Atlas Frames are typically referenced by a key. In a Sprite Sheet Frames are referenced by an index. Passing no value for the name returns the base texture.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
name string | number <optional>

The string-based name, or integer based index, of the Frame to get from this Texture.

Returns:
Description:

The Texture Frame.

getDataSourceImage([name])

Focus

Description:

Given a Frame name, return the data source image it uses to render with. You can use this to get the normal map for an image for example.

This will return the actual DOM Image.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
name string | number <optional>

The string-based name, or integer based index, of the Frame to get from this Texture.

Returns:
Description:

The DOM Image or Canvas Element.

getFrameNames([includeBase])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Returns an array with all of the names of the Frames in this Texture.

Useful if you want to randomly assign a Frame to a Game Object, as you can pick a random element from the returned array.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
includeBase boolean <optional> false

Include the __BASE Frame in the output array?

Returns:
Description:

An array of all Frame names in this Texture.
