Texture (inherits from LayeredRegion, created with Frame:CreateTexture) displays a color block, a gradient, or a graphic raster taken from a .tga, .blp or .jpg file.
As a kind of LayeredRegion, Texture is always inside a layer within a Frame (or any type inheriting from Frame). In Lua the layer is an argument to CreateTexture(), and in XML <Layers> and <Layer> tags surround <Texture>.
Defined Methods
Most methods relate to setting appearance or source information.
- Texture:GetAtlas()
- Texture:GetBlendMode() - Returns the AlphaMode.
- Texture:GetDesaturation()
- Texture:GetHorizTile()
- Texture:GetNonBlocking()
- Texture:GetNumMaskTextures()
- Texture:GetRotation()
- Texture:GetTexCoord() - Gets the 8 texture coordinates that map to the Texture's corners - New in 1.11.
- Texture:GetTexelSnappingBias()
- Texture:GetTexture() - Gets this texture's current texture path.
- Texture:GetTextureFileID()
- Texture:GetTextureFilePath()
- Texture:GetVertexColor() - Gets the vertex color for the Texture.
- Texture:GetVertexOffset(vertexIndex)
- Texture:GetVertTile()
- Texture:IsDesaturated() - Gets the desaturation state of this Texture. - New in 1.11
- Texture:IsSnappingToPixelGrid()
- Texture:SetAtlas(atlasName [, useAtlasSize, filterMode])
- Texture:SetBlendMode(mode) - Defines the AlphaMode.
- Texture:SetColorTexture(r, g, b [, a]) - Creates a solid-color texture
- Texture:SetDesaturated(flag) - Set whether this texture should be displayed with no saturation (Note: This has a return value)
- Texture:SetDesaturation()
- Texture:SetGradient(orientation, minR, minG, minB, maxR, maxG, maxB)
- Texture:SetGradientAlpha(orientation, minR, minG, minB, minA, maxR, maxG, maxB, maxA)
- Texture:SetHorizTile(horizTile) - Sets whether the widget should adjust horizontal texture coordinates based on texture and widget dimensions.
- Texture:SetNonBlocking()
- Texture:SetRotation(angle [, cx, cy]) - Applies a counter-clockwise rotation to the texture.
- Texture:SetSnapToPixelGrid()
- Texture:SetTexCoord(minX, maxX, minY, maxY or ULx, ULy, LLx, LLy, URx, URy, LRx, LRy) - Modifies the region of a texture drawn by the Texture widget.
- Texture:SetTexelSnappingBias(texelSnappingBias) where texelSnappingBias is [0-1]
- Texture:SetTexture(file [, horizWrap, vertWrap, filterMode]) - Changes the texture displayed by the Texture widget.
- Texture:SetVertexOffset(vertexIndex, offsetX, offsetY)
- Texture:SetVertTile(horizTile) - Sets whether the widget should adjust vertical texture coordinates based on texture and widget dimensions.
Texture Masks
- Texture:AddMaskTexture(maskTexture)
- Texture:GetMaskTexture(index)
- Texture:RemoveMaskTexture(maskTexture)
- Texture:SetMask(maskName)
Examples
Creates a texture with Frame:CreateTexture()
local f = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
f:SetPoint("CENTER")
f:SetSize(64, 64)
local tex = f:CreateTexture()
tex:SetAllPoints(f)
tex:SetTexture("interface/icons/inv_mushroom_11")
Creates the same texture with <Texture>
<Frame parent="UIParent">
<Layers>
<Layer level="ARTWORK">
<Texture file="interface/icons/inv_mushroom_11">
<Anchors>
<Anchor point="TOPLEFT" />
<Anchor point="BOTTOMRIGHT" />
</Anchors>
</Texture>
</Layer>
</Layers>
<Size><AbsDimension x="64" y="64" /></Size>
<Anchors><Anchor point="CENTER" /></Anchors>
</Frame>
