I modified the source code in this example made by the creator: http://www.goodboydigital.com/pixi-js-tutorial-getting-started/ (source download)
Here's what I came up with:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>pixi.js example 1</title>
<style>
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #000000;
}
</style>
<script src="pixi.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
// create an new instance of a pixi stage
var stage = new PIXI.Stage(0x66FF99);
// create a renderer instance
var renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer(400, 300);
renderer.resize(800, 600);
// add the renderer view element to the DOM
document.body.appendChild(renderer.view);
requestAnimFrame( animate );
// create a texture from an image path
var texture = PIXI.Texture.fromImage("bunny.png");
// create a new Sprite using the texture
var bunny = new PIXI.Sprite(texture);
// center the sprites anchor point
bunny.anchor.x = 0.5;
bunny.anchor.y = 0.5;
// move the sprite t the center of the screen
bunny.position.x = 200;
bunny.position.y = 150;
var container = new PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer();
container.scale.x = 2;
container.scale.y = 2;
container.addChild(bunny);
stage.addChild(container);
function animate() {
requestAnimFrame( animate );
// just for fun, lets rotate mr rabbit a little
bunny.rotation += 0.1;
// render the stage
renderer.render(stage);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Now the one thing I didn't do is center it. I see two potential ways to do this. I could use CSS to center the canvas
(what I'll probably use), or I could do this in code by adding another outer display object to the stage that centers container
.
