Detailed Description

Clipped smart object is a base to construct other smart objects based on the concept of having an internal clipper that is applied to all children objects.

This clipper will control the visibility, clipping and color of sibling objects (remember that the clipping is recursive, and clipper color modulates the color of its clippees). By default, this base will also move children relatively to the parent, and delete them when parent is deleted. In other words, it is the base for simple object grouping.

See some examples of this group of functions.

Function Documentation

EAPI const Evas_Smart_Class* evas_object_smart_clipped_class_get ( void  )

Get a pointer to the clipped smart object's class, to use for proper inheritance.

EAPI Evas_Object* evas_object_smart_clipped_clipper_get ( Evas_Object obj)

Get the clipper object for the given clipped smart object.

Parameters
objthe clipped smart object to retrieve associated clipper from.
Returns
the clipper object.

Use this function if you want to change any of this clipper's properties, like colors.

EAPI void evas_object_smart_clipped_smart_set ( Evas_Smart_Class sc)

Set a given smart class' callbacks so it implements the clipped smart object"'s interface.

Parameters
scThe smart class handle to operate on

This call will assign all the required methods of the sc Evas_Smart_Class instance to the implementations set for clipped smart objects. If one wants to "subclass" it, call this function and then override desired values. If one wants to call any original method, save it somewhere. Example:

static void my_class_smart_add(Evas_Object *o)
{
parent_sc.add(o);
255, 0, 0, 255);
}
Evas_Smart_Class *my_class_new(void)
{
if (!parent_sc.name)
{
parent_sc = sc;
sc.add = my_class_smart_add;
}
return ≻
}

Default behavior for each of Evas_Smart_Class functions on a clipped smart object are:

  • add: creates a hidden clipper with "infinite" size, to clip any incoming members;
  • del: delete all children objects;
  • move: move all objects relative relatively;
  • resize: not defined;
  • show: if there are children objects, show clipper;
  • hide: hides clipper;
  • color_set: set the color of clipper;
  • clip_set: set clipper of clipper;
  • clip_unset: unset the clipper of clipper;
Note
There are other means of assigning parent smart classes to child ones, like the EVAS_SMART_SUBCLASS_NEW macro or the evas_smart_class_inherit_full() function.
