Frame
A Frame is a Scene2D Object in Incari that acts as a 'container' to its children and has rigid boundaries. It is one of the only Objects in Scene2Ds which can be a parent, besides Groups and Boolean Operations.
Create
When a Frame is created, its boundaries are displayed in green, an example of which can be seen in the image below. It can then be populated with other Objects.
The dimensions of the Frame are provided in its Attributes.
Without any Objects as children, a Frame doesn't look like much:

An Ellipse and Rectangle are now added as children. Notice the Position
and Size
describe these boundaries numerically. The top-left corner starts at 0,0
and it extends 100 units in both the X and Y-axes. Objects, however, will still appear in full outside the boundaries of the Frame if they happen to not be entirely encapsulated.

Attributes
Transformation

The Transformation
Attributes deal with placement, rotation, and size in XY space. More information can be found here.
Horizontal Resizing
and Vertical Resizing
are only made functional when the Layout
has been changed. They both can either be Hug Content
or Fixed Distance
.
When Hug Content
is selected, the size of the Frame is always automatically recalculated to perfectly fit all its elements. If a Layout
is used on the Frame and then an Object is added while Hug Content
is on, the size of the Frame will increase. The same happens when a Gap
or Padding
is added. Fixed Distance
means that the Frame's boundaries are exactly as they are set with Size
.
Frame

These Attributes are essential to formatting a Frame.
The Layout
of the Frame can be adjusted to display its children horizontally or vertically. Please note that changing the Layout
causes Objects to be placed at their default positions in the Frame.
Alignment
determines where the Frame's children appear within its boundaries. For example, the Alignment
for the two Objects shown below is set to Bottom Right
.

Crop
cuts off all content which is outside of the Frame. However, this only applies to its children and not any unrelated Objects in the Scene2D.
If a child Object (or part of a child Object) is moved outside the boundary of the Frame and Crop
is toggled on, the Object (or part of it) will no longer be visible.
Events

This Attribute determines whether the Frame receives Events or not in the Logic. This is true when it is toggled on and false if not.
Render to Texture

Enabling Render to Texture
renders the Scene2D from the viewpoint of the Frame into a texture. When enabled, the resulting texture is added to the Asset Database and can be used for all Objects which allow for textures (such as Images). It is removed again when the Attribute is disabled.
This Attribute can also be used to draw multiple Scene2Ds, combine them, or bring them into another Scene2D.
Anti-Aliasing
lets the user choose an anti-aliasing technique which can help improve the appearance of the texture. More information on anti-aliasing can be found here.
Fill
The Fill
Attributes consist of different items called Elements
. Each Element
contains a Type
. This can be either Solid
or Image
and changes some of the available Attributes under this category.
If there is more than one Fill Element
, the most recent one will take precedent over the others (unless some Blend Mode
is applied).
Solid

When Solid
is selected, Color
is visible.
Color
is a color selector that lets the user pick theFill's
color.Similar to the base property described previously,
Blend Mode
here affects theFill Elements
only. These are established on common formulas, examples of each can be accessed here. It can also be set with the Set Blend Mode Node.Opacity
refers to how opaque or transparent theFill
appears. This is represented by an integer between 0 and 1.
Please note that when a new Fill
is added, it is added to the top of the fill list and the Object will be updated to display this Fill
.
Gradient

When Gradient
is selected, Gradient
is visible.
Gradient
decides the style of gradient, which can be eitherLinear
,Radial
,Angular
, orDiamond
.The
Gradient
color selector has a row of squares going left to right as well as a column going top to bottom. These correspond 1:1 with each other, so in the image above the mustard yellow squares are the same color. The user can drag the squares in the row to change the order of the gradient's colors. Clicking anywhere in the bar will add a square in both the row and column of colors. The user can change the color of a square by clicking it, which opens the color picker.Similar to the base property described previously,
Blend Mode
here affects theFill Elements
only. These are established on common formulas, examples of each can be accessed here. It can also be set with the Set Blend Mode Node.Opacity
refers to how opaque or transparent theFill
appears. This is represented by an integer between 0 and 1.
Image

When Image
is selected, Image
and Fit Mode
are visible.
Image
is the desired Texture file.Fit Mode
determines how the Texture is displayed. These can beFill
,Fit
,Crop
, andTile
.Tile
has the additional Attribute ofScale Factor
, which augments the tesselation.Similar to the base property described previously,

Stroke
The Stroke
Attributes consist of different items called Elements
. Each Element
contains a Type
. This can be either Solid
or Image
and changes some of the available Attributes under this category. There are also two fixed Attributes outside of the Elements
. These are:
Width
, which is how wide (in pixels) eachStroke
will appear. This applies to eachStroke Element
.Position
, which determines what part of the outline identifies the outside of the Object. For example, ifInner
is selected, then the outside of theStroke
is the outside of the Object. IfCenter
is selected, then theStroke's
center is the outside of the Object. IfOuter
is selected, then the inside of theStroke
is the outside of the Object.

Mask
A Mask is an Object that shows a certain area of another Object while concealing the rest. Any Object (e.g., an Ellipse, Rectangle, Frame, Group, or Text) can be used as a Mask.
For easier visualization, think of the Mask as a cookie cutter while the masked Object is the dough: the cookie cutter shows only a part and discards the rest.

The Type
Attribute has three options:
None
- nothing is applied.Alpha
- the Mask has an opacity level (alpha channel) determining with which level of opacity (or transparency) the masked Object is revealed: 0% opacity reveals nothing, 100% opacity is equivalent to a Mask withVector
type.Vector
- only modifies the shape outline of the masked ObjectLuminance
- allows the user to utilize brightness to determine the effect of the Mask; the brighter the area of a Mask, the more that is revealed and the darker the area, the less that is revealed.
Object
allows the user to select what should be the masked Object.
Apply Mask
is a toggle that applies the Mask when set to on, and disables the Mask when set to off.
Tag

This Attribute manages the tags for the Button. See more on tags here.
