Enumeration Type Documentation

enum Dali::ColorMode

Enumeration for Actor color mode.

Since:

2.4, DALi version 1.0.0

Enumerator:

USE_OWN_COLOR	Actor will use its own color. Since: 2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
USE_PARENT_COLOR	Actor will use its parent color. Since: 2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
USE_OWN_MULTIPLY_PARENT_COLOR	Actor will blend its color with its parents color. Since: 2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
USE_OWN_MULTIPLY_PARENT_ALPHA	Actor will blend its alpha with its parents alpha. This means when parent fades in or out child does as well. This is the default. Since: 2.4, DALi version 1.0.0

enum Dali::PositionInheritanceMode

Enumeration for Actor position inheritance mode.

Deprecated:

Deprecated since 3.0, DALi version 1.1.24 Use SetInheritPosition instead

Since:

2.4, DALi version 1.0.0

Enumerator:

INHERIT_PARENT_POSITION	Actor will inherit its parent position. This is the default. Since: 2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
USE_PARENT_POSITION	Actor will copy its parent position. This is useful if many actors are stacked together in the same place. This option ignores parent origin and anchor point. Since: 2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
USE_PARENT_POSITION_PLUS_LOCAL_POSITION	Actor will copy its parent position and add local position. This is useful if many actors are stacked together in the same place with an offset. This option ignores parent origin and anchor point. Since: 2.4, DALi version 1.0.0
DONT_INHERIT_POSITION	Actor will not inherit position. Local position is treated as world position. This is useful if a constraint is used to override local position or if an actor is positioned globally. This option ignores parent origin, anchor point and local position. Since: 2.4, DALi version 1.0.0

Function Documentation

void Dali::UnparentAndReset

(

Actor &

actor

)

Helper for discarding an actor handle.

If the handle is empty, this method does nothing. Otherwise Actor::Unparent() will be called, followed by Actor::Reset().

Since:

2.4, DALi version 1.0.0

Parameters:

[in,out]

actor

A handle to an actor, or an empty handle
