Background object, used for setting a solid color, image or Edje group as a background to a window or any container object.

The bg (background) widget is used for setting (solid) background decorations to a window (unless it has transparency enabled) or to any container object. It works just like an image, but has some properties useful to a background, like setting it to tiled, centered, scaled or stretched.

This widget inherits from the Layout one, so that all the functions acting on it also work for background objects.

Default content parts of the bg widget that you can use for are:

"overlay" - overlay of the bg

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum Elm_Bg_Option

Identifiers on how a background widget is to display its image -- if it was set to use an image file.

Enumerator:

ELM_BG_OPTION_CENTER	Center the background image.
ELM_BG_OPTION_SCALE	Scale the background image, retaining aspect ratio (default).
ELM_BG_OPTION_STRETCH	Stretch the background image to fill the widget's area.
ELM_BG_OPTION_TILE	Tile background image at its original size.
ELM_BG_OPTION_LAST	Sentinel value, also used to indicate errors.

Function Documentation

Evas_Object* elm_bg_add ( Evas_Object * parent )

Add a new background to the parent

Parameters:

parent The parent object

Returns:: The new object or NULL if it cannot be created

Since :: 2.3.1

Examples:: ephysics_logo.c.

void elm_bg_color_get	(	const Evas_Object *	obj,
		int *	r,
		int *	g,
		int *	b
	)

Get the color set on a given background widget

Parameters:

obj	The background object handle
r	Where to store the red color component's value
g	Where to store the green color component's value
b	Where to store the blue color component's value

Note:: Use NULL pointers on the file components you're not interested in: they'll be ignored by the function.

See also:: elm_bg_color_get() for more details

Since :: 2.3.1

void elm_bg_color_set	(	Evas_Object *	obj,
		int	r,
		int	g,
		int	b
	)

Set the color on a given background widget

Parameters:

obj	The background object handle
r	The red color component's value
g	The green color component's value
b	The blue color component's value

This sets the color used for the background rectangle, in RGB format. Each color component's range is from 0 to 255.

Note:: You probably only want to use this function if you haven't previously called elm_bg_file_set(), so that you just want a solid color background.; You can reset the color by setting r, g, b as -1, -1, -1.

See also:: elm_bg_color_get()

Since :: 2.3.1

void elm_bg_file_get	(	const Eo *	obj,
		const char **	file,
		const char **	group
	)

Get the file (image or edje collection) set on a given background widget

Note:: Use NULL pointers on the file components you're not interested in: they'll be ignored by the function.

Parameters:

[out]	file	The file path
[out]	group	Optional key (group in Edje) within the file

Since :: 2.3.1

Eina_Bool elm_bg_file_set	(	Eo *	obj,
		const char *	file,
		const char *	group
	)

Set the file (image or edje collection) to give life for the background

Returns:: EINA_TRUE on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise

This sets the image file used in the background object. If the image comes from an Edje group, it will be stretched to completely fill the background object. If it comes from a traditional image file, it will by default be centered in this widget's area (thus retaining its aspect), what could lead to some parts being not visible. You may change the mode of exhibition for a real image file with elm_bg_option_set().

Note:: Once the image of obj is set, a previously set one will be deleted, even if file is NULL.; This will only affect the contents of one of the background's swallow spots, namely "elm.swallow.background". If you want to achieve the Layout's file setting behavior, you'll have to call that method on this object.

Parameters:

[in]	file	The file path
[in]	group	Optional key (group in Edje) within the file

Since :: 2.3.1

Examples:: ephysics_logo.c.

void elm_bg_load_size_set	(	Elm_Bg *	obj,
		Evas_Coord	w,
		Evas_Coord	h
	)

Set the size of the pixmap representation of the image set on a given background widget.

Warning:: This function just makes sense if an image file was set on obj, with Efl::File::file::set

This function sets a new size for pixmap representation of the given bg image. It allows for the image to be loaded already in the specified size, reducing the memory usage and load time (for example, when loading a big image file with its load size set to a smaller size)

Note:: This is just a hint for the underlying system. The real size of the pixmap may differ depending on the type of image being loaded, being bigger than requested.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in]	w	The new width of the image pixmap representation.
[in]	h	The new height of the image pixmap representation.

Elm_Bg_Option elm_bg_option_get ( const Elm_Bg * obj )

Get the mode of display for a given background widget's image.

See also elm_bg_option_set for more details

Since :: 2.3.1

Returns:: The desired background option(See Elm_Bg_Option)

void elm_bg_option_set	(	Elm_Bg *	obj,
		Elm_Bg_Option	option
	)

Set the mode of display for a given background widget's image.

This sets how the background widget will display its image. This will only work if the Efl::File::file::set was previously called with an image file on obj. The image can be display tiled, scaled, centered or stretched. Elm_Bg_Option::ELM_BG_OPTION_SCALE by default.
