Having a slight issue getting tiling to work as I understand it. I am trying to create a set of grid lines through the use of tiled 50% transparent png's that regularly tiles the screen at a fixed size per tile (native resolution). To do this I have added a new widget to the Vanillalook theme by copy pasting the staticimage widget code, renaming it staticimage1 and adding to the scheme file. I have so far made a couple of changes, to:
Code: Select all
<PropertyDefinition name="VertFormatting" initialValue="Tiled" redrawOnWrite="true" /> //setting both to tiled instead of stretched
<PropertyDefinition name="HorzFormatting" initialValue="Tiled" redrawOnWrite="true" />
and I have changed the:
<VertFormatProperty type="Tiled" /> //from name= vertformatting
<HorzFormatProperty type="Tiled" />for both imagery components.
I am creating using code and not layout files and this is all the relevent code:
Code: Select all
Semi = _wmgr->createWindow("Vanilla/StaticImage1", "Semi");
CEGUI::Imageset* IMS = &CEGUI::ImagesetManager::getSingleton().createFromImageFile("Semiimage","menuSemi.png","Imagesets");
IMS->setAutoScalingEnabled(false);
Semi->setProperty("Image","set:Semiimage image:full_image");
Semi->setSize(CEGUI::UVector2(CEGUI::UDim(0.0f, 100), CEGUI::UDim(0.0f, 100)));
Semi->setPosition(CEGUI::UVector2(cegui_reldim(0.0f), cegui_reldim( 0.0f)));
sheet->addChildWindow(Semi);
Semi->setVisible(false);I set to visible later when its needed.
The result is a single copy of the tile. (top left) Without setting autoscaling on the imageset, it is stretched to fit the smallest dimension and the other is clipped. Ie maintains aspect ratio.

Am i correct in assuming that setting formatting will automatically create multiple tiles to fill the area set by Semi?
Thanks for help. Theres no issues in the log file that i can see.

Edit: I also know about the performance hit, i'm doing it for educational and support of unlimited resolution reasons. I will likely have it tile at 1920x1080 when its working. Have had a good look through the forums/documentation as well.
