69 * @brief Actor is the primary object with which Dali applications interact.
71 * UI controls can be built by combining multiple actors.
73 * <h3>Multi-Touch Events:</h3>
75 * Touch or hover events are received via signals; see Actor::TouchedSignal() and Actor::HoveredSignal() for more details.
77 * <i>Hit Testing Rules Summary:</i>
79 * - An actor is only hittable if the actor's touch or hover signal has a connection.
80 * - An actor is only hittable when it is between the camera's near and far planes.
81 * - If an actor is made insensitive, then the actor and its children are not hittable; see IsSensitive()
82 * - If an actor's visibility flag is unset, then none of its children are hittable either; see IsVisible()
83 * - To be hittable, an actor must have a non-zero size.
84 * - If an actor's world color is fully transparent, then it is not hittable; see GetCurrentWorldColor()
86 * <i>Hit Test Algorithm:</i>
89 * - Hit testing is dependent on the camera used, which is specific to each RenderTask.
92 * - For each RenderTask, hit testing starts from the top-most layer and we go through all the
93 * layers until we have a hit or there are none left.
94 * - Before we perform a hit test within a layer, we check if all the layer's parents are visible
96 * - If they are not, we skip hit testing the actors in that layer altogether.
97 * - If a layer is set to consume all touch, then we do not check any layers behind this layer.
100 * - The final part of hit testing is performed by walking through the actor tree within a layer.
101 * - The following pseudocode shows the algorithm used:
103 * HIT-TEST-WITHIN-LAYER( ACTOR )
105 * // Only hit-test the actor and its children if it is sensitive and visible
106 * IF ( ACTOR-IS-SENSITIVE &&
109 * // Depth-first traversal within current layer, visiting parent first
111 * // Check whether current actor should be hit-tested
112 * IF ( ( TOUCH-SIGNAL-NOT-EMPTY || HOVER-SIGNAL-NOT-EMPTY ) &&
113 * ACTOR-HAS-NON-ZERO-SIZE &&
114 * ACTOR-WORLD-COLOR-IS-NOT-TRANSPARENT )
116 * // Hit-test current actor
119 * IF ( ACTOR-IS-OVERLAY || ( DISTANCE-TO-ACTOR < DISTANCE-TO-LAST-HIT-ACTOR ) )
121 * // The current actor is the closest actor that was underneath the touch
122 * LAST-HIT-ACTOR = CURRENT-ACTOR
127 * // Keep checking children, in case we hit something closer
128 * FOR-EACH CHILD (in order)
130 * IF ( CHILD-IS-NOT-A-LAYER )
132 * // Continue traversal for this child's sub-tree
133 * HIT-TEST-WITHIN-LAYER ( CHILD )
135 * // else we skip hit-testing the child's sub-tree altogether
140 * - Overlays always take priority (i.e. they're considered closer) regardless of distance.
141 * The overlay children take priority over their parents, and overlay siblings take priority
142 * over their previous siblings (i.e. reverse of rendering order):
152 * Hit Priority of above Actor tree (all overlays): 1 - Lowest. 6 - Highest.
154 * - Stencil Actors can be used to influence the result of hits on renderable actors within a layer.
155 * If a Stencil Actor exists on a layer and that Actor is marked visible then a successful
156 * hit on a renderable actor can only take place in the area that the stencil Actor marks as visible.
157 * The hit can be in any Stencil Actor in that layer, but must be in the region of one of them.
158 * Stencil Actor inheritance behaves as with rendering in that any child of a Stencil Actor will
159 * also be considered a Stencil Actor.
160 * Non-renderable actors can be hit regardless of whether a stencil actor is hit or not.
162 * <i>Touch or hover Event Delivery:</i>
165 * - The hit actor's touch or hover signal is emitted first; if it is not consumed by any of the listeners,
166 * the parent's touch or hover signal is emitted, and so on.
167 * - The following pseudocode shows the delivery mechanism:
169 * EMIT-TOUCH-SIGNAL( ACTOR )
171 * IF ( TOUCH-SIGNAL-NOT-EMPTY )
173 * // Only do the emission if touch signal of actor has connections.
174 * CONSUMED = TOUCHED-SIGNAL( TOUCH-EVENT )
177 * IF ( NOT-CONSUMED )
179 * // If event is not consumed then deliver it to the parent unless we reach the root actor
180 * IF ( ACTOR-PARENT )
182 * EMIT-TOUCH-SIGNAL( ACTOR-PARENT )
187 * EMIT-HOVER-SIGNAL( ACTOR )
189 * IF ( HOVER-SIGNAL-NOT-EMPTY )
191 * // Only do the emission if hover signal of actor has connections.
192 * CONSUMED = HOVERED-SIGNAL( HOVER-EVENT )
195 * IF ( NOT-CONSUMED )
197 * // If event is not consumed then deliver it to the parent unless we reach the root actor
198 * IF ( ACTOR-PARENT )
200 * EMIT-HOVER-SIGNAL( ACTOR-PARENT )
205 * - If there are several touch points, then the delivery is only to the first touch point's hit
206 * actor (and its parents). There will be NO touch or hover signal delivery for the hit actors of the
207 * other touch points.
208 * - The local coordinates are from the top-left (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f) of the hit actor.
211 * - A "Leave" state is set when the first point exits the bounds of the previous first point's
212 * hit actor (primary hit actor).
213 * - When this happens, the last primary hit actor's touch or hover signal is emitted with a "Leave" state
214 * (only if it requires leave signals); see SetLeaveRequired().
216 * - Interrupted State
217 * - If a system event occurs which interrupts the touch or hover processing, then the last primary hit
218 * actor's touch or hover signals are emitted with an "Interrupted" state.
219 * - If the last primary hit actor, or one of its parents, is no longer touchable or hoverable, then its
220 * touch or hover signals are also emitted with an "Interrupted" state.
221 * - If the consumed actor on touch-down is not the same as the consumed actor on touch-up, then
222 * touch signals are also emitted from the touch-down actor with an "Interrupted" state.
223 * - If the consumed actor on hover-start is not the same as the consumed actor on hover-finished, then
224 * hover signals are also emitted from the hover-started actor with an "Interrupted" state.
225 * <h3>Key Events:</h3>
227 * Key events are received by an actor once set to grab key events, only one actor can be set as focused.
