A Graphics object is a way to draw primitive shapes to your game. Primitives include forms of geometry, such as Rectangles, Circles, and Polygons. They also include lines, arcs and curves. When you initially create a Graphics object it will be empty.

To draw to it you must first specify a line style or fill style (or both), draw shapes using paths, and finally fill or stroke them. For example:

graphics.lineStyle(5, 0xFF00FF, 1.0);
graphics.beginPath();
graphics.moveTo(100, 100);
graphics.lineTo(200, 200);
graphics.closePath();
graphics.strokePath();

There are also many helpful methods that draw and fill/stroke common shapes for you.

graphics.lineStyle(5, 0xFF00FF, 1.0);
graphics.fillStyle(0xFFFFFF, 1.0);
graphics.fillRect(50, 50, 400, 200);
graphics.strokeRect(50, 50, 400, 200);

When a Graphics object is rendered it will render differently based on if the game is running under Canvas or WebGL. Under Canvas it will use the HTML Canvas context drawing operations to draw the path. Under WebGL the graphics data is decomposed into polygons. Both of these are expensive processes, especially with complex shapes.

If your Graphics object doesn't change much (or at all) once you've drawn your shape to it, then you will help performance by calling Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics#generateTexture. This will 'bake' the Graphics object into a Texture, and return it. You can then use this Texture for Sprites or other display objects. If your Graphics object updates frequently then you should avoid doing this, as it will constantly generate new textures, which will consume memory.

As you can tell, Graphics objects are a bit of a trade-off. While they are extremely useful, you need to be careful in their complexity and quantity of them in your game.

  • SCREEN
  • ERASE

Canvas has more available depending on browser support.

You can also create your own custom Blend Modes in WebGL.

Blend modes have different effects under Canvas and WebGL, and from browser to browser, depending on support. Blend Modes also cause a WebGL batch flush should it encounter a new blend mode. For these reasons try to be careful about the construction of your Scene and the frequency of which blend modes are used.

Since: 3.0.0
Focus
Focus
scrollFactorX: number
Focus
Focus

Description:

The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object.

The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.

When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.

A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.

Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.

Type:
number
Default: 1
Inherited from: Phaser.GameObjects.Components.ScrollFactor#scrollFactorX
Since: 3.0.0
Focus
Focus
scrollFactorY: number
Focus
Focus

Description:

The vertical scroll factor of this Game Object.

The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.

When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.

A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.

Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions.

state: number | string
Focus
Focus

Description:

The current state of this Game Object.

Phaser itself will never modify this value, although plugins may do so.

Use this property to track the state of a Game Object during its lifetime. For example, it could change from a state of 'moving', to 'attacking', to 'dead'. The state value should be an integer (ideally mapped to a constant in your game code), or a string. These are recommended to keep it light and simple, with fast comparisons. If you need to store complex data about your Game Object, look at using the Data Component instead.

addToDisplayList([displayList])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Adds this Game Object to the given Display List.

If no Display List is specified, it will default to the Display List owned by the Scene to which this Game Object belongs.

A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may move freely between them.

If this Game Object is already on another Display List when this method is called, it will first be removed from it, before being added to the new list.

You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.

If a Game Object isn't on any display list, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarly disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.

Parameters:

name type arguments description

Focus
Focus
arc(x, y, radius, startAngle, endAngle, [anticlockwise], [overshoot])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Draw an arc.

This method can be used to create circles, or parts of circles.

Make sure you call beginPath before starting the arc unless you wish for the arc to automatically close when filled or stroked.

Use the optional overshoot argument increase the number of iterations that take place when the arc is rendered in WebGL. This is useful if you're drawing an arc with an especially thick line, as it will allow the arc to fully join-up. Try small values at first, i.e. 0.01.

Call Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics#fillPath or Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics#strokePath after calling this method to draw the arc.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
x number

The x coordinate of the center of the circle.

y number

The y coordinate of the center of the circle.

radius number

The radius of the circle.

startAngle number

The starting angle, in radians.

endAngle number

The ending angle, in radians.

anticlockwise boolean <optional> false

Whether the drawing should be anticlockwise or clockwise.

overshoot number <optional> 0

This value allows you to increase the segment iterations in WebGL rendering. Useful if the arc has a thick stroke and needs to overshoot to join-up cleanly. Use small numbers such as 0.01 to start with and increase as needed.

createBitmapMask([renderable])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Creates and returns a Bitmap Mask. This mask can be used by any Game Object, including this one.

Note: Bitmap Masks only work on WebGL. Geometry Masks work on both WebGL and Canvas.

To create the mask you need to pass in a reference to a renderable Game Object. A renderable Game Object is one that uses a texture to render with, such as an Image, Sprite, Render Texture or BitmapText.

If you do not provide a renderable object, and this Game Object has a texture, it will use itself as the object. This means you can call this method to create a Bitmap Mask from any renderable Game Object.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
renderable Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject <optional>

A renderable Game Object that uses a texture, such as a Sprite.

Returns:
Description:

createGeometryMask([graphics])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Creates and returns a Geometry Mask. This mask can be used by any Game Object, including this one.

To create the mask you need to pass in a reference to a Graphics Game Object.

If you do not provide a graphics object, and this Game Object is an instance of a Graphics object, then it will use itself to create the mask.

This means you can call this method to create a Geometry Mask from any Graphics Game Object.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
graphics Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics <optional>

A Graphics Game Object. The geometry within it will be used as the mask.

Focus
destroy([fromScene])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Destroys this Game Object removing it from the Display List and Update List and severing all ties to parent resources.

Also removes itself from the Input Manager and Physics Manager if previously enabled.

Use this to remove a Game Object from your game if you don't ever plan to use it again. As long as no reference to it exists within your own code it should become free for garbage collection by the browser.

If you just want to temporarily disable an object then look at using the Game Object Pool instead of destroying it, as destroyed objects cannot be resurrected.

Parameters:

Only webGL fillGradientStyle(topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft, bottomRight, [alphaTopLeft], [alphaTopRight], [alphaBottomLeft], [alphaBottomRight])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets a gradient fill style. This is a WebGL only feature.

The gradient color values represent the 4 corners of an untransformed rectangle. The gradient is used to color all filled shapes and paths drawn after calling this method. If you wish to turn a gradient off, call fillStyle and provide a new single fill color.

When filling a triangle only the first 3 color values provided are used for the 3 points of a triangle.

This feature is best used only on rectangles and triangles. All other shapes will give strange results.

Note that for objects such as arcs or ellipses, or anything which is made out of triangles, each triangle used will be filled with a gradient on its own. There is no ability to gradient fill a shape or path as a single entity at this time.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
topLeft number

The top left fill color.

topRight number

The top right fill color.

bottomLeft number

The bottom left fill color.

bottomRight number

The bottom right fill color. Not used when filling triangles.

Description:

Removes this Game Object from the Display List it is currently on.

A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may move freely removed and added back at a later stage.

You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.

If a Game Object isn't on any Display List, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarly disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.

Focus
Focus

Description:

Removes this Game Object from the Scene's Update List.

When a Game Object is on the Update List, it will have its preUpdate method called every game frame. Calling this method will remove it from the list, preventing this.

Removing a Game Object from the Update List will stop most internal functions working. For example, removing a Sprite from the Update List will prevent it from being able to run animations.

removeInteractive()
Focus
Focus

Description:

If this Game Object has previously been enabled for input, this will queue it for removal, causing it to no longer be interactive. The removal happens on the next game step, it is not immediate.

The Interactive Object that was assigned to this Game Object will be destroyed, removed from the Input Manager and cleared from this Game Object.

If you wish to re-enable this Game Object at a later date you will need to re-create its InteractiveObject by calling setInteractive again.

If you wish to only temporarily stop an object from receiving input then use disableInteractive instead, as that toggles the interactive state, where-as this erases it completely.

If you wish to resize a hit area, don't remove and then set it as being interactive. Instead, access the hitarea object directly and resize the shape being used. I.e.: sprite.input.hitArea.setSize(width, height) (assuming the shape is a Rectangle, which it is by default.)

setBlendMode(value)
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets the Blend Mode being used by this Game Object.

This can be a const, such as Phaser.BlendModes.SCREEN, or an integer, such as 4 (for Overlay)

Under WebGL only the following Blend Modes are available:

  • ADD
  • MULTIPLY
  • SCREEN
  • ERASE (only works when rendering to a framebuffer, like a Render Texture)

Canvas has more available depending on browser support.

You can also create your own custom Blend Modes in WebGL.

Blend modes have different effects under Canvas and WebGL, and from browser to browser, depending on support. Blend Modes also cause a WebGL batch flush should it encounter a new blend mode. For these reasons try to be careful about the construction of your Scene and the frequency in which blend modes are used.

Parameters:

name type description
value string | Phaser.BlendModes

The BlendMode value. Either a string or a CONST.

Returns:
Description:

setData(key, [data])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Allows you to store a key value pair within this Game Objects Data Manager.

If the Game Object has not been enabled for data (via setDataEnabled) then it will be enabled before setting the value.

If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is created.

sprite.setData('name', 'Red Gem Stone');

You can also pass in an object of key value pairs as the first argument:

sprite.setData({ name: 'Red Gem Stone', level: 2, owner: 'Link', gold: 50 });

To get a value back again you can call getData:

sprite.getData('gold');

Or you can access the value directly via the values property, where it works like any other variable:

sprite.data.values.gold += 50;

When the value is first set, a setdata event is emitted from this Game Object.

If the key already exists, a changedata event is emitted instead, along an event named after the key. For example, if you updated an existing key called PlayerLives then it would emit the event changedata-PlayerLives. These events will be emitted regardless if you use this method to set the value, or the direct values setter.

Please note that the data keys are case-sensitive and must be valid JavaScript Object property strings. This means the keys gold and Gold are treated as two unique values within the Data Manager.

Parameters:

name type arguments description
key string | object

The key to set the value for. Or an object of key value pairs. If an object the data argument is ignored.

data * <optional>

The value to set for the given key. If an object is provided as the key this argument is ignored.

setDepth(value)
Focus
Focus

Description:

The depth of this Game Object within the Scene.

The depth is also known as the 'z-index' in some environments, and allows you to change the rendering order of Game Objects, without actually moving their position in the display list.

The default depth is zero. A Game Object with a higher depth value will always render in front of one with a lower value.

Setting the depth will queue a depth sort event within the Scene.

Parameters:

name type description
value number

The depth of this Game Object.

Returns:

Focus
setInteractive([hitArea], [callback], [dropZone])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Pass this Game Object to the Input Manager to enable it for Input.

Input works by using hit areas, these are nearly always geometric shapes, such as rectangles or circles, that act as the hit area for the Game Object. However, you can provide your own hit area shape and callback, should you wish to handle some more advanced input detection.

If no arguments are provided it will try and create a rectangle hit area based on the texture frame the Game Object is using. If this isn't a texture-bound object, such as a Graphics or BitmapText object, this will fail, and you'll need to provide a specific shape for it to use.

You can also provide an Input Configuration Object as the only argument to this method.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
hitArea any | Phaser.Types.Input.InputConfiguration <optional>

Either an input configuration object, or a geometric shape that defines the hit area for the Game Object. If not given it will try to create a Rectangle based on the texture frame.

callback Phaser.Types.Input.HitAreaCallback <optional>

The callback that determines if the pointer is within the Hit Area shape or not. If you provide a shape you must also provide a callback.

dropZone boolean <optional> false

Should this Game Object be treated as a drop zone target?

Returns:

Since: 3.0.0
Focus
Focus
setMask(mask)
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets the mask that this Game Object will use to render with.

The mask must have been previously created and can be either a GeometryMask or a BitmapMask. Note: Bitmap Masks only work on WebGL. Geometry Masks work on both WebGL and Canvas.

If a mask is already set on this Game Object it will be immediately replaced.

Masks are positioned in global space and are not relative to the Game Object to which they are applied. The reason for this is that multiple Game Objects can all share the same mask.

Masks have no impact on physics or input detection. They are purely a rendering component that allows you to limit what is visible during the render pass.

Parameters:

name type description
mask Phaser.Display.Masks.BitmapMask | Phaser.Display.Masks.GeometryMask

The mask this Game Object will use when rendering.

Only webGL setPostPipeline(pipelines, [pipelineData], [copyData])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets one, or more, Post Pipelines on this Game Object.

Post Pipelines are invoked after this Game Object has rendered to its target and are commonly used for post-fx.

The post pipelines are appended to the postPipelines array belonging to this Game Object. When the renderer processes this Game Object, it iterates through the post pipelines in the order in which they appear in the array. If you are stacking together multiple effects, be aware that the order is important.

If you call this method multiple times, the new pipelines will be appended to any existing post pipelines already set. Use the resetPostPipeline method to clear them first, if required.

You can optionally also sets the pipelineData property, if the parameter is given.

Both the pipeline and post pipelines share the pipeline data object together.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
pipelines string | Array.<string> | function | Array.<function()> | Phaser.Renderer.WebGL.Pipelines.PostFXPipeline | Array.<Phaser.Renderer.WebGL.Pipelines.PostFXPipeline>

Focus
Focus
setScrollFactor(x, [y])
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets the scroll factor of this Game Object.

The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.

When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.

A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.

Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.

Parameters:

name type arguments Default description
x number

The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object.

y number <optional> x

The vertical scroll factor of this Game Object. If not set it will use the x value.

setState(value)
Focus
Focus

Description:

Sets the current state of this Game Object.

Phaser itself will never modify the State of a Game Object, although plugins may do so.

For example, a Game Object could change from a state of 'moving', to 'attacking', to 'dead'. The state value should typically be an integer (ideally mapped to a constant in your game code), but could also be a string. It is recommended to keep it light and simple. If you need to store complex data about your Game Object, look at using the Data Component instead.

Parameters:
