Detailed Description

This namespace is for all the classes belonging to the Graphical User Interface Subsystem.

Our GUI subsystem is based on a heavily modified/forked version of Gorilla, and as such uses a similiar structure of classes and layout for it's config files(e.g. .mta files).

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum Mezzanine::UI::AspectRatioLock

Used by sizing behavior classes to determine how resizes that preserve aspect ratio should behave.

Enumerator
ARL_Ratio_Unlocked	The aspect ratio is not locked and both dimensions can resize freely.
ARL_Ratio_Locked_Expanding	The aspect ratio is locked. When multiple axes are resized the axis with more growth is used to determine the size of the other axis.
ARL_Ratio_Locked_Shrinking	The aspect ratio is locked. When multiple axes are resized the axis with less growth is used to determine the size of the other axis.

Definition at line 52 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::Border

Used by various basic renderables for border effects.

Internally border information is stored in small arrays, and this facilitates the proper index being called every time.

Definition at line 62 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::CharacterStatus

An enum describing the status and boolean traits a Character can have.

Enumerator
CS_Clickable	Todo: When additional fonts are no longer needed for bold, italics, etc. style font and such, add those basic properties here.

Definition at line 55 of file charactertraits.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::Gradient

Used by various basic renderables for applying a gradient effect to a colour or texture on a quad.

Details regarding the colour or texture depends on the individual settings of the renderable the gradient is being applied to. Gradients simply allow one colour on one portion of a quad to fade into another.

Definition at line 74 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::LinearAlignment

Used by various UI classes to determine the alignment of their child objects, such as text in text lines, or quads in a layout container.

This enum is only ever used to describe one axis at a time. Thus the values do not represent corners, but rather the appropriate side on the axis in question.

Definition at line 86 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::PositioningFlags

Enumerator
PF_Unified_Pos	Does not anchor to any side, using only the provided unified dimensions.
PF_Top	Anchors to the top side of the quad.
PF_Bottom	Anchors to the bottom side of the quad.
PF_Left	Anchors to the left side of the quad.
PF_Right	Anchors to the right side of the quad.
PF_TopLeft	Anchors to the top and left sides of the quad.
PF_TopRight	Anchors to the top and right sides of the quad.
PF_BottomLeft	Anchors to the bottom and left sides of the quad.
PF_BottomRight	Anchors to the bottom and right sides of the quad.
PF_VerticalCenter	Centers along the Y axis of the quad.
PF_HorizontalCenter	Centers along the X axis of the quad.
PF_Center	Centers within the quad.

Definition at line 105 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::QuadCorner

Used by Sprites and Glyphs for tracking their placement on a TextureAtlas.

This helps to ensure the proper indexs are accessed at all times when getting UV information.

Definition at line 127 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::RenderPriority

Used by UI elements created by layers to determine z-ordering within a layer.

This essentially means we're adding layers to our layers without the messy and un-intuitive re-coding necessary to actually accomplish that.

Definition at line 139 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::ScrollbarStyle

Used by the scrollbar class to determine what styling should be used for the scrollbar.

These values are mostly self explanitory, the scrollbar class documentation has more details.

Definition at line 149 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::SizingRules

Used by UI container classes to determine their resize behavior on a given axis when the container is resized.

Enumerator
SR_Unified_Dims	Resizing will use the provided unified dimensions with no further alterations.
SR_Match_Other_Axis	The calculated value for the perpendicular axis will be used as the final value for this axis.
SR_Fill_Available	Unified dimensions are ignored and will instead us all available space.
SR_Fixed_Size	No resizing of any kind will take place.

Definition at line 159 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::SpinnerStyle

Used by the spinner class to determine what styling should be used for the spinner.

In the case of the buttons being together, the increment button will be above the decrement button.

Definition at line 170 of file uienumerations.h.

enum Mezzanine::UI::TextOrdering

This enum describes the direction of advancing characters or lines along the X axis.

Enumerator
TO_Left_To_Right	Characters/New Lines originate from the left, and advance to the right.
TO_Right_To_Left	Characters/New Lines originate from the right, and advance to the left.

Definition at line 179 of file uienumerations.h.
