Detailed Description

Abstract definition of a 2D element to be displayed in an Overlay.

Remarks
This class abstracts all the details of a 2D element which will appear in an overlay. In fact, not all OverlayElement instances can be directly added to an Overlay, only those which are OverlayContainer instances (a subclass of this class). OverlayContainer objects can contain any OverlayElement however. This is just to enforce some level of grouping on widgets.
OverlayElements should be managed using OverlayManager. This class is responsible for instantiating / deleting elements, and also for accepting new types of element from plugins etc.
Note that positions / dimensions of 2D screen elements are expressed as parametric values (0.0 - 1.0) because this makes them resolution-independent. However, most screen resolutions have an aspect ratio of 1.3333:1 (width : height) so note that in physical pixels 0.5 is wider than it is tall, so a 0.5x0.5 panel will not be square on the screen (but it will take up exactly half the screen in both dimensions).
Because this class is designed to be extensible, it subclasses from StringInterface so its parameters can be set in a generic way.

Reimplemented in Ogre::v1::TextAreaOverlayElement.

◆ setDimensions()

void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setDimensions ( Real  width,

virtual

◆ setHeight()

void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setHeight ( Real  height)

Sets the height of this element in relation to the screen (where 1.0 = screen height)

◆ setHorizontalAlignment()

virtual void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setHorizontalAlignment ( GuiHorizontalAlignment  gha)
virtual

Sets the horizontal origin for this element.

Remarks
By default, the horizontal origin for a OverlayElement is the left edge of the parent container (or the screen if this is a root element). You can alter this by calling this method, which is especially useful when you want to use pixel-based metrics (see setMetricsMode) since in this mode you can't use relative positioning.
For example, if you were using GMM_PIXELS metrics mode, and you wanted to place a 30x30 pixel crosshair in the center of the screen, you would use GHA_CENTER with a 'left' property of -15.
Note that neither GHA_CENTER or GHA_RIGHT alter the position of the element based on it's width, you have to alter the 'left' to a negative number to do that; all this does is establish the origin. This is because this way you can align multiple things in the center and right with different 'left' offsets for maximum flexibility.

◆ setLeft()

void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setLeft ( Real  left)

Sets the left of this element in relation to the screen (where 0 = far left, 1.0 = far right)

◆ setMaterialName()

virtual void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setMaterialName ( const String matName)
virtual

Sets the name of the material this element will use.

Remarks
Different elements will use different materials. One constant about them all though is that a Material used for a OverlayElement must have it's depth checking set to 'off', which means it always gets rendered on top. OGRE will set this flag for you if necessary. What it does mean though is that you should not use the same Material for rendering OverlayElements as standard scene objects. It's fine to use the same textures, just not the same Material.

Reimplemented in Ogre::v1::TextAreaOverlayElement, and Ogre::v1::PanelOverlayElement.

◆ setMetricsMode()

virtual void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setMetricsMode ( GuiMetricsMode  gmm)
virtual

Tells this element how to interpret the position and dimension values it is given.

Remarks
By default, OverlayElements are positioned and sized according to relative dimensions of the screen. This is to ensure portability between different resolutions when you want things to be positioned and sized the same way across all resolutions. However, sometimes you want things to be sized according to fixed pixels. In order to do this, you can call this method with the parameter GMM_PIXELS. Note that if you then want to place your element relative to the center, right or bottom of it's parent, you will need to use the setHorizontalAlignment and setVerticalAlignment methods.

Reimplemented in Ogre::v1::TextAreaOverlayElement, and Ogre::v1::BorderPanelOverlayElement.

◆ setPosition()

void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setPosition ( Real  left,
Real  top 
)

Sets the position of the top-left corner of the element, relative to the screen size (1.0 = screen width / height)

◆ setTop()

void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setTop ( Real  Top)

Sets the top of this element in relation to the screen (where 0 = top, 1.0 = bottom)

◆ setVerticalAlignment()

virtual void Ogre::v1::OverlayElement::setVerticalAlignment ( GuiVerticalAlignment  gva)
virtual

Sets the vertical origin for this element.

Remarks
By default, the vertical origin for a OverlayElement is the top edge of the parent container (or the screen if this is a root element). You can alter this by calling this method, which is especially useful when you want to use pixel-based metrics (see setMetricsMode) since in this mode you can't use relative positioning.
For example, if you were using GMM_PIXELS metrics mode, and you wanted to place a 30x30 pixel crosshair in the center of the screen, you would use GHA_CENTER with a 'top' property of -15.
Note that neither GVA_CENTER or GVA_BOTTOM alter the position of the element based on it's height, you have to alter the 'top' to a negative number to do that; all this does is establish the origin. This is because this way you can align multiple things in the center and bottom with different 'top' offsets for maximum flexibility.
