    Class RotateGizmo

    Rotates the attached Entitys with a ring for each axis, plus a ring in the camera's view plane. Works with mouse, keyboard and touch input.

    const gizmoLayer = Gizmo.createLayer(app);
    const gizmo = new RotateGizmo(cameraComponent, gizmoLayer);
    gizmo.attach([entity]);

      • Optionalarg1: any

        First argument that is passed to the event handler.

      • Optionalarg2: any

        Second argument that is passed to the event handler.

      • Optionalarg3: any

        Third argument that is passed to the event handler.

      • Optionalarg4: any

        Fourth argument that is passed to the event handler.

      • Optionalarg5: any

        Fifth argument that is passed to the event handler.

      • Optionalarg6: any

      • Optionalarg8: any

        Eighth argument that is passed to the event handler.

      Returns EventHandler

      Self for chaining.

      obj.fire('test', 'This is the message');

    • Test if there are any handlers bound to an event name.

      Parameters

      • name: string

        The name of the event to test.

      Returns boolean

      True if the object has handlers bound to the specified event name.

      obj.on('test', () => {}); // bind an event to 'test'
      obj.hasEvent('test'); // returns true
      obj.hasEvent('hello'); // returns false

    • Detach an event handler from an event. If callback is not provided then all callbacks are unbound from the event, if scope is not provided then all events with the callback will be unbound.

      Use this form to remove all listeners matching a name (and optionally callback/scope). To remove a single known subscription, prefer retaining the EventHandle returned by EventHandler#on / EventHandler#once and calling its EventHandle#off: it removes exactly that subscription and is faster (no scan of the callback list).

      Parameters

      • Optionalname: string

        Name of the event to unbind.

      • Optionalcallback: HandleEventCallback

        Function to be unbound.

      • Optionalscope: any

        Scope that was used as the this when the event is fired.

      Returns EventHandler

      Self for chaining.

      const handler = () => {};
      obj.on('test', handler);

      obj.off(); // Removes all events
      obj.off('test'); // Removes all events called 'test'
      obj.off('test', handler); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test'
      obj.off('test', handler, this); // Removes all handler functions, called 'test' with scope this

    • Attach an event handler to an event.

      Parameters

      • name: string

        Name of the event to bind the callback to.

      • callback: HandleEventCallback

        Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.

      • Optionalscope: any = ...

        Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

      Returns EventHandle

      An event handle. For later removal, prefer retaining this handle and calling its EventHandle#off over EventHandler#off with a name/callback: it removes exactly this subscription and is faster (no scan of the callback list).

      obj.on('test', (a, b) => {
          console.log(a + b);
      });
      obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console

      // preferred removal: retain the handle and call off() on it
      const evt = obj.on('test', (a, b) => {
          console.log(a + b);
      });
      // some time later
      evt.off();

    • Attach an event handler to an event. The handler is removed before it is called, so it runs at most once, even if it fires the same event again or throws.

      Parameters

      • name: string

        Name of the event to bind the callback to.

      • callback: HandleEventCallback

        Function that is called when event is fired. Note the callback is limited to 8 arguments.

      • Optionalscope: any = ...

        Object to use as 'this' when the event is fired, defaults to current this.

      Returns EventHandle

      An event handle. For removal before it fires, prefer retaining this handle and calling its EventHandle#off over EventHandler#off with a name/callback: it removes exactly this subscription and is faster (no scan of the callback list).

      obj.once('test', (a, b) => {
          console.log(a + b);
      });
      obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // prints 3 to the console
      obj.fire('test', 1, 2); // not going to get handled

    • Updates the gizmo position, rotation, and scale.

      Returns void

      const gizmo = new Gizmo(camera, layer);
