pixi-graphics-format v1.0.0

pixi-graphics-format

This library creates an interoperable file format for storing PixiJS Graphics. This data can be externalized as *.pgf files and be loaded using the PixiJS Loader. Also, this provides utilities for serializing and unserializing Graphics.

Installation

Install using NPM or Yarn

npm install pixi-graphics-format

yarn add pixi-graphics-format

Setup

If you're using Webpack or Rollup, make sure that pixi-graphics-format is included after pixi.js.

import * as PIXI from 'pixi.js';
import {GraphicsFormat} from 'pixi-graphics-format';

Alternatively, if you're using the PIXI global object and not importing classes, use this:

import 'pixi.js';
import 'pixi-graphics-format';

Usage

Using the parser to convert a graphics string to Graphics object:

const graphic = PIXI.GraphicsFormat.parse("f #f00 dr 0 0 100 50 c");
app.stage.addChild(graphic);

Use the loader to load an external file as Graphics object. The file must be a text file with the .pgf file extension.

PIXI.loader.add('example', 'file.pgf');
PIXI.loader.load((loader, resources) => {
    app.stage.addChild(resources.example.graphics);
});

Tools
