Description:

The PtBkgd widget provides a background of a color gradient with an optional image on top of it. The image can be tiled across the gradient.


PtBkgd


Several different styles of background widgets.

A PtBkgd widget is filled with a color gradient that's based on the widget's Pt_ARG_FILL_COLOR and Pt_ARG_CONTRAST (defined by PtBasic). For example, the background could start from dark blue at the top and gradually fade to light blue at the bottom.

On top of this gradient, you can display an image, defined by the Pt_ARG_BKGD_IMAGE resource. If the image is smaller than the PtBkgd widget, you can tile the image in various ways by setting Pt_ARG_BKGD_SPACING_X, Pt_ARG_BKGD_SPACING_Y, and Pt_ARG_BKGD_TILE.

New resources:

Resource C type Pt type Default
Pt_ARG_BKGD_IMAGE PhImage_t * Image NULL
Pt_ARG_BKGD_SPACING_X short Scalar 0
Pt_ARG_BKGD_SPACING_Y short Scalar 0
Pt_ARG_BKGD_TILE uint8_t Scalar Pt_BKGD_GRID

Pt_ARG_BKGD_IMAGE

C type Pt type Default
PhImage_t * Image NULL

A pointer to a PhImage_t structure that defines the image to be displayed. If it's NULL, no image is displayed. For more information, see PhImage_t and PxLoadImage() in the Photon Library Reference.

Set the flags member of the PhImage_t structure to:

Ph_RELEASE_IMAGE | Ph_RELEASE_PALETTE |
Ph_RELEASE_TRANSPARENCY_MASK | Ph_RELEASE_GHOST_BITMAP
      

before providing the image to the widget. If you do this, the memory used for the image is released when the widget is unrealized or destroyed.


Note: When you set this resource, the widget copies the PhImage_t structure but not the data pointed to by the members of the structure. After setting this resource, you can free() the PhImage_t if you don't need it, but don't free() the members of it.

Pt_ARG_BKGD_SPACING_X

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar 0

The horizontal spacing between tiles, in pixels.

Pt_ARG_BKGD_SPACING_Y

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar 0

The vertical spacing between tiles, in pixels.

Pt_ARG_BKGD_TILE

C type Pt type Default
uint8_t Scalar Pt_BKGD_GRID

This resource determines the type of tiling used to display the image. Possible values:

Pt_BKGD_CENTER
Draw the image once and center it within the container.
Pt_BKGD_CENTER_GRID
Center the image within the container and then, if the image is smaller than the container, tile the image around the outside.
Pt_BKGD_GRID
Repeat the image in grid fashion.
Pt_BKGD_NONE
Don't tile the image; just display it once in the upper left corner.

Inherited resources:

If the widget modifies an inherited resource, the “Default override” column indicates the new value. This modification affects any subclasses of the widget.
