59 * @brief Actor is the primary object with which Dali applications interact.
61 * UI controls can be built by combining multiple actors.
63 * <h3>Multi-Touch Events:</h3>
65 * Touch or hover events are received via signals; see Actor::TouchedSignal() and Actor::HoveredSignal() for more details.
67 * <i>Hit Testing Rules Summary:</i>
69 * - An actor is only hittable if the actor's touch or hover signal has a connection.
70 * - An actor is only hittable when it is between the camera's near and far planes.
71 * - If an actor is made insensitive, then the actor and its children are not hittable; see IsSensitive()
72 * - If an actor's visibility flag is unset, then none of its children are hittable either; see IsVisible()
73 * - To be hittable, an actor must have a non-zero size.
74 * - If an actor's world color is fully transparent, then it is not hittable; see GetCurrentWorldColor()
76 * <i>Hit Test Algorithm:</i>
79 * - Gets the first down and the last up touch events to the screen, regardless of actor touch event consumption.
80 * - Stage's root layer can be used to catch unconsumed touch events.
83 * - Hit testing is dependent on the camera used, which is specific to each RenderTask.
86 * - For each RenderTask, hit testing starts from the top-most layer and we go through all the
87 * layers until we have a hit or there are none left.
88 * - Before we perform a hit test within a layer, we check if all the layer's parents are visible
90 * - If they are not, we skip hit testing the actors in that layer altogether.
91 * - If a layer is set to consume all touch, then we do not check any layers behind this layer.
94 * - The final part of hit testing is performed by walking through the actor tree within a layer.
95 * - The following pseudocode shows the algorithm used:
97 * HIT-TEST-WITHIN-LAYER( ACTOR )
99 * // Only hit-test the actor and its children if it is sensitive and visible
100 * IF ( ACTOR-IS-SENSITIVE &&
103 * // Depth-first traversal within current layer, visiting parent first
105 * // Check whether current actor should be hit-tested
106 * IF ( ( TOUCH-SIGNAL-NOT-EMPTY || HOVER-SIGNAL-NOT-EMPTY ) &&
107 * ACTOR-HAS-NON-ZERO-SIZE &&
108 * ACTOR-WORLD-COLOR-IS-NOT-TRANSPARENT )
110 * // Hit-test current actor
113 * IF ( ACTOR-IS-OVERLAY || ( DISTANCE-TO-ACTOR < DISTANCE-TO-LAST-HIT-ACTOR ) )
115 * // The current actor is the closest actor that was underneath the touch
116 * LAST-HIT-ACTOR = CURRENT-ACTOR
121 * // Keep checking children, in case we hit something closer
122 * FOR-EACH CHILD (in order)
124 * IF ( CHILD-IS-NOT-A-LAYER )
126 * // Continue traversal for this child's sub-tree
127 * HIT-TEST-WITHIN-LAYER ( CHILD )
129 * // else we skip hit-testing the child's sub-tree altogether
134 * - Overlays always take priority (i.e. they're considered closer) regardless of distance.
135 * The overlay children take priority over their parents, and overlay siblings take priority
136 * over their previous siblings (i.e. reverse of rendering order):
146 * Hit Priority of above Actor tree (all overlays): 1 - Lowest. 6 - Highest.
148 * - Stencil Actors can be used to influence the result of hits on renderable actors within a layer.
149 * If a Stencil Actor exists on a layer and that Actor is marked visible then a successful
150 * hit on a renderable actor can only take place in the area that the stencil Actor marks as visible.
151 * The hit can be in any Stencil Actor in that layer, but must be in the region of one of them.
152 * Stencil Actor inheritance behaves as with rendering in that any child of a Stencil Actor will
153 * also be considered a Stencil Actor.
154 * Non-renderable actors can be hit regardless of whether a stencil actor is hit or not.
156 * <i>Touch or hover Event Delivery:</i>
159 * - The hit actor's touch or hover signal is emitted first; if it is not consumed by any of the listeners,
160 * the parent's touch or hover signal is emitted, and so on.
161 * - The following pseudocode shows the delivery mechanism:
163 * EMIT-TOUCH-SIGNAL( ACTOR )
165 * IF ( TOUCH-SIGNAL-NOT-EMPTY )
167 * // Only do the emission if touch signal of actor has connections.
168 * CONSUMED = TOUCHED-SIGNAL( TOUCH-EVENT )
171 * IF ( NOT-CONSUMED )
173 * // If event is not consumed then deliver it to the parent unless we reach the root actor
174 * IF ( ACTOR-PARENT )
176 * EMIT-TOUCH-SIGNAL( ACTOR-PARENT )
181 * EMIT-HOVER-SIGNAL( ACTOR )
183 * IF ( HOVER-SIGNAL-NOT-EMPTY )
185 * // Only do the emission if hover signal of actor has connections.
186 * CONSUMED = HOVERED-SIGNAL( HOVER-EVENT )
189 * IF ( NOT-CONSUMED )
191 * // If event is not consumed then deliver it to the parent unless we reach the root actor
192 * IF ( ACTOR-PARENT )
194 * EMIT-HOVER-SIGNAL( ACTOR-PARENT )
199 * - If there are several touch points, then the delivery is only to the first touch point's hit
200 * actor (and its parents). There will be NO touch or hover signal delivery for the hit actors of the
201 * other touch points.
202 * - The local coordinates are from the top-left (0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f) of the hit actor.
205 * - A "Leave" state is set when the first point exits the bounds of the previous first point's
206 * hit actor (primary hit actor).
207 * - When this happens, the last primary hit actor's touch or hover signal is emitted with a "Leave" state
208 * (only if it requires leave signals); see SetLeaveRequired().
210 * - Interrupted State
211 * - If a system event occurs which interrupts the touch or hover processing, then the last primary hit
212 * actor's touch or hover signals are emitted with an "Interrupted" state.
213 * - If the last primary hit actor, or one of its parents, is no longer touchable or hoverable, then its
214 * touch or hover signals are also emitted with an "Interrupted" state.
215 * - If the consumed actor on touch-down is not the same as the consumed actor on touch-up, then
216 * touch signals are also emitted from the touch-down actor with an "Interrupted" state.
217 * - If the consumed actor on hover-start is not the same as the consumed actor on hover-finished, then
218 * hover signals are also emitted from the hover-started actor with an "Interrupted" state.
219 * <h3>Key Events:</h3>
221 * Key events are received by an actor once set to grab key events, only one actor can be set as focused.
