The display object container that contains this display object.
Can this object be rendered, if false the object will not be drawn but the updateTransform methods will still be called.
Only affects recursive calls from parent. You can ask for bounds manually.
OptionalrenderRepresents the vertex and fragment shaders that processes the geometry and runs on the GPU. Can be shared between multiple Mesh objects.
How much of the geometry to draw, by default 0 renders everything.
If set to true, the container will sort its children by zIndex value
when updateTransform() is called, or manually if sortChildren() is called.
This actually changes the order of elements in the array, so should be treated as a basic solution that is not performant compared to other solutions, such as PixiJS Layers
Also be aware of that this may not work nicely with the addChildAt() function,
as the zIndex sorting may cause the child to automatically sorted to another position.
Should children be sorted by zIndex at the next updateTransform call.
Will get automatically set to true if a new child is added, or if a child's zIndex changes.
Typically the index of the IndexBuffer where to start drawing.
Represents the WebGL state the Mesh required to render, excludes shader and geometry. E.g., blend mode, culling, depth testing, direction of rendering triangles, backface, etc.
OptionaltabWorld transform and local transform of this object. This will become read-only later, please do not assign anything there unless you know what are you doing.
The visibility of the object. If false the object will not be drawn, and the updateTransform function will not be called.
Only affects recursive calls from parent. You can ask for bounds or call updateTransform manually.
ReadonlyworldThe multiplied alpha of the displayObject.
StaticBATCHABLE_The maximum number of vertices to consider batchable. Generally, the complexity of the geometry.
StaticdefaultSets the default value for the container property sortableChildren.
If set to true, the container will sort its children by zIndex value
when updateTransform() is called, or manually if sortChildren() is called.

Also be aware of that this may not work nicely with the addChildAt() function,
as the zIndex sorting may cause the child to automatically sorted to another position.
StaticprefixedThe angle of the object in degrees. 'rotation' and 'angle' have the same effect on a display object; rotation is in radians, angle is in degrees.
The height of the bottom row.
Readonly flag for destroyed display objects.
Includes vertex positions, face indices, normals, colors, UVs, and custom attributes within buffers, reducing the cost of passing all this data to the GPU. Can be shared between multiple Mesh objects.
The height of the NineSlicePlane, setting this will actually modify the vertices and UV's of this plane.
The height of the Container, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set.
The width of the left column.
Current transform of the object based on local factors: position, scale, other stuff.
Sets a mask for the displayObject. A mask is an object that limits the visibility of an
object to the shape of the mask applied to it. In PixiJS a regular mask must be a
PIXI.Graphics or a PIXI.Sprite object. This allows for much faster masking in canvas as it
utilities shape clipping. Furthermore, a mask of an object must be in the subtree of its parent.
Otherwise, getLocalBounds may calculate incorrect bounds, which makes the container's width and height wrong.
To remove a mask, set this property to null.
For sprite mask both alpha and red channel are used. Black mask is the same as transparent mask.
Alias for PIXI.Mesh#shader.
The width of the right column.
The rotation of the object in radians. 'rotation' and 'angle' have the same effect on a display object; rotation is in radians, angle is in degrees.
If true PixiJS will Math.floor() x/y values when rendering, stopping pixel interpolation. Advantages can include sharper image quality (like text) and faster rendering on canvas. The main disadvantage is movement of objects may appear less smooth. To set the global default, change PIXI.settings.ROUND_PIXELS
The texture that the Mesh uses. Null for non-MeshMaterial shaders
The texture that the Mesh uses. Null for non-MeshMaterial shaders
The height of the top row.
To change mesh uv's, change its uvBuffer data and increment its _updateID.
To change mesh vertices, change its uvBuffer data and increment its _updateID. Incrementing _updateID is optional because most of Mesh objects do it anyway.
The width of the NineSlicePlane, setting this will actually modify the vertices and UV's of this plane.
The width of the Container, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set.
Current transform of the object based on world (parent) factors.
Indicates if the object is globally visible.
The position of the displayObject on the x axis relative to the local coordinates of the parent. An alias to position.x
The position of the displayObject on the y axis relative to the local coordinates of the parent. An alias to position.y
The zIndex of the displayObject.
If a container has the sortableChildren property set to true, children will be automatically sorted by zIndex value; a higher value will mean it will be moved towards the end of the array, and thus rendered on top of other display objects within the same container.
Optionaloptions: boolean | IDestroyOptionsProtected_Updates the bounds of the mesh as a rectangle. The bounds calculation takes the worldTransform into account. there must be a aVertexPosition attribute present in the geometry for bounds to be calculated correctly.

Appends an event listener for events whose type attribute value is type. The callback argument sets the callback that will be invoked when the event is dispatched.
The options argument sets listener-specific options. For compatibility this can be a boolean, in which case the method behaves exactly as if the value was specified as options's capture.
When set to true, options's capture prevents callback from being invoked when the event's eventPhase attribute value is BUBBLING_PHASE. When false (or not present), callback will not be invoked when event's eventPhase attribute value is CAPTURING_PHASE. Either way, callback will be invoked if event's eventPhase attribute value is AT_TARGET.
When set to true, options's passive indicates that the callback will not cancel the event by invoking preventDefault(). This is used to enable performance optimizations described in § 2.8 Observing event listeners.
When set to true, options's once indicates that the callback will only be invoked once after which the event listener will be removed.
If an AbortSignal is passed for options's signal, then the event listener will be removed when signal is aborted.
The event listener is appended to target's event listener list and is not appended if it has the same type, callback, and capture.

Return an array listing the events for which the emitter has registered listeners.
Calculates and returns the (world) bounds of the display object as a [Rectangle]PIXI.Rectangle.
This method is expensive on containers with a large subtree (like the stage). This is because the bounds
of a container depend on its children's bounds, which recursively causes all bounds in the subtree to
be recalculated. The upside, however, is that calling getBounds once on a container will indeed update
the bounds of all children (the whole subtree, in fact). This side effect should be exploited by using
displayObject._bounds.getRectangle() when traversing through all the bounds in a scene graph. Otherwise,
calling getBounds on each object in a subtree will cause the total cost to increase quadratically as
its height increases.
The transforms of all objects in a container's subtree and of all ancestors are updated. The world bounds of all display objects in a container's subtree will also be recalculated.
The _bounds object stores the last calculation of the bounds. You can use to entirely skip bounds
calculation if needed.
const lastCalculatedBounds = displayObject._bounds.getRectangle(optionalRect);
Do know that usage of getLocalBounds can corrupt the _bounds of children (the whole subtree, actually). This
is a known issue that has not been solved. See [getLocalBounds]PIXI.DisplayObject#getLocalBounds for more
details.
getBounds should be called with skipUpdate equal to true in a render() call. This is because the transforms
are guaranteed to be update-to-date. In fact, recalculating inside a render() call may cause corruption in certain
cases.
OptionalskipUpdate: booleanSetting to true will stop the transforms of the scene graph from
being updated. This means the calculation returned MAY be out of date BUT will give you a
nice performance boost.

Renders the object using the WebGL renderer.
The [_render]PIXI.Container#_render method is be overriden for rendering the contents of the
container itself. This render method will invoke it, and also invoke the render methods of all
children afterward.
If renderable or visible is false or if worldAlpha is not positive or if cullable is true and
the bounds of this object are out of frame, this implementation will entirely skip rendering.
See PIXI.DisplayObject for choosing between renderable or visible. Generally,
setting alpha to zero is not recommended for purely skipping rendering.
When your scene becomes large (especially when it is larger than can be viewed in a single screen), it is advised to employ culling to automatically skip rendering objects outside of the current screen. See [cullable]PIXI.DisplayObject#cullable and [cullArea]PIXI.DisplayObject#cullArea. Other culling methods might be better suited for a large number static objects; see [@pixi-essentials/cull]https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pixi-essentials/cull and [pixi-cull]https://www.npmjs.com/package/pixi-cull.
The [renderAdvanced]PIXI.Container#renderAdvanced method is internally used when when masking or filtering is applied on a container. This does, however, break batching and can affect performance when masking and filtering is applied extensively throughout the scene graph.
