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 Graphics objects.
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.
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.
ProtectedvertexCopy of the object vertex data.

Static ReadonlycurvesGraphics curves resolution settings. If adaptive flag is set to true,
the resolution is calculated based on the curve's length to ensure better visual quality.
Adaptive draw works with bezierCurveTo and quadraticCurveTo.
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.
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.
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 blend mode to be applied to the graphic shape. Apply a value of
PIXI.BLEND_MODES.NORMAL to reset the blend mode. Note that, since each
primitive in the GraphicsGeometry list is rendered sequentially, modes
such as PIXI.BLEND_MODES.ADD and PIXI.BLEND_MODES.MULTIPLY will
be applied per-primitive.
Readonly flag for destroyed display objects.
The current fill style.
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 or Graphics objects.
The height of the Container, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set.
The current line style.
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.
The center of rotation, scaling, and skewing for this display object in its local space. The position
is the projection of pivot in the parent's local space.
By default, the pivot is the origin (0, 0).
The coordinate of the object relative to the local coordinates of the parent.
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.
The scale factors of this object along the local coordinate axes.
The default scale is (1, 1).
The tint applied to each graphic shape. This is a hex value. A value of 0xFFFFFF will remove any tint effect.
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.

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.

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.

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.

The Graphics class is primarily used to render primitive shapes such as lines, circles and rectangles to the display, and to color and fill them. However, you can also use a Graphics object to build a list of primitives to use as a mask, or as a complex hitArea.
Please note that due to legacy naming conventions, the behavior of some functions in this class can be confusing. Each call to
drawRect(),drawPolygon(), etc. actually stores that primitive in the Geometry class's GraphicsGeometry object for later use in rendering or hit testing - the functions do not directly draw anything to the screen. Similarly, theclear()function doesn't change the screen, it simply resets the list of primitives, which can be useful if you want to rebuild the contents of an existing Graphics object.Once a GraphicsGeometry list is built, you can re-use it in other Geometry objects as an optimization, by passing it into a new Geometry object's constructor. Because of this ability, it's important to call
destroy()on Geometry objects once you are done with them, to properly dereference each GraphicsGeometry and prevent memory leaks.Memberof
