SpriteState

Type class

Defines a state for Sprite.

A "state" is a special object that has all the same properties as the Sprite of the same type, and which can be used to quickly apply a set of property values. (set state) When Sprite (or any object that extends Sprite) is created it creates a "default" state. You can modify the "default" state so that when the Sprite returns to default state certain properties are added.

Default state can be accessed using Sprite's defaultState getter.

sprite.defaultState.properties.fillOpacity = 0.5;

sprite.defaultState.properties.fillOpacity = 0.5;

{
  // ...
  "defaultState": {
    "properties": {
      "fillOpacity": 0.5
    }
  }
}

If Sprite is "hoverable", it automatically adds a "hover" state, which is applied when it has a cursor over it.

let hoverstate = sprite.states.create("hover");
hoverstate.properties.fillOpacity = 1;

var hoverstate = sprite.states.create("hover");
hoverstate.properties.fillOpacity = 1;

{
  // ...
  "states": {
    "hover": {
      "properties": {
        "fillOpacity": 0.5
      }
    }
  }
}

The above will automatically apply "hover" state when the Sprite is hovered, thus will set its fillOpacity property to 1, and will reset it to 0.5 when it's no longer hovered.

Every object that inherits from Sprite can and will add their own properties to the available list.

User can create their own states, and apply them as needed:

let myCustomState = sprite.states.create("mystate");
myCustomState.properties.fillOpacity = 0.5;
myCustomState.properties.strokeOpacity = 0.8;
sprite.setState("mystate");

var myCustomState = sprite.states.create("mystate");
myCustomState.properties.fillOpacity = 0.5;
myCustomState.properties.strokeOpacity = 0.8;
sprite.setState("mystate");

Sources

SpriteState can be used (imported) via one of the following packages.

/**
 * --------------------------------------------------------
 * Import from: "core.ts"
 * Use like: am4core.SpriteState
 * --------------------------------------------------------
 */
import * as am4core from "@amcharts/amcharts4/core";

/**
 * --------------------------------------------------------
 * Include via: <script src="core.js"></script>
 * Access items like: am4.SpriteState

 */

Inheritance

SpriteState extends BaseObject.

SpriteState is not extended by any other symbol.

Properties

adapter #	Type Adapter < this, A > Holds Adapter.
clonedFrom #	Type $type.Optional < this > Inherited from BaseObject Reference to the original object this object was cloned from. We need to keep this so we can disassociate it from source object when this object is disposed.
config #	Type object Inherited from BaseObject Use this property to set JSON-based config. When set, triggers processing routine, which will go through all properties, and try to apply values, create instances, etc. Use this with caution, as it is a time-consuming process. It's used for initialchart setup only, not routine operations.
filters #	Type List < Filter > Default new List<Filter>() A list of Filter elements to be applied to the relative Sprite when switching to this State. @param
id #	Type $type.Optional < string > Inherited from BaseObject Sets the user-defined id of the element.
isTemplate #	Type boolean Default false Identifies if this object is a "template" and should not be treated as real object that is drawn or actually used in the chart.
name #	Type string Title of the state, i.e. "default", "hidden", etc.
properties #	Type P Default <P>{    } Collection of properties and their values that should be applied to Sprite when switching to this State. The property values set on a SpriteState will override the ones set directly on a Sprite.
propertyFields #	Type object A collection of key/value pairs that can be used to bind specific Sprite properties to DataItem. For example: fill property can be bound to myCustomColor field in DataItem. The Sprite will automatically get the value for fill from its DataItem. SpriteState-specific binding will override binding set directly on Sprite. I.e. you can make Sprite use different fill color on hover by adding a fill binding to a different DataItem key for Sprite's "hover" state object. Sprite
sprite #	Type $type.Optional < Sprite > Reference to Sprite element this State is for.
transitionDuration #	Type number Default 0 Duration of the transition to this state. 0 means instantenous transition. Any number means the Sprite will transit smoothly to this state, animating all animatable properties. Click here for more info about animations
transitionEasing #	Type ( value: number) => number Default cubicOut Easing function to use when transitioning to this state. Ease Click here for more info about animations
uid #	Type string Inherited from BaseObject Returns object's internal unique ID.
There are 4 inherited items currently hidden from this list.

Methods

clone( cloneId?: string ) #	Returns this Inherited from BaseObject Makes a copy of this object and returns the clone. Try to avoid cloning complex objects like chart, create new instances if you need them.
constructor() #	Returns SpriteState Constructor
copyFrom( source: this ) #	Returns void Copies all property and style values from another SpriteState object.
dispose() #	Returns void Inherited from BaseObject Destroys this object and all related data.
getCurrentThemes() #	Returns ITheme[] Inherited from BaseObject Returns a list of themes that should be applied to this element. It could either be a list of themes set explicitly on this element, or system-wide.
getPropertyValue( propertyName: Key ) #	Returns P[""] Returns Sprite element's property value. Will check if there are any bindings with DataItem and if there are any method callbacks set up for the specific property.
isDisposed() #	Returns boolean Inherited from BaseObject Returns if this object has been already been disposed.
reset() #	Returns void Resets the State to initial state - no values or Filters applied.
