40 * This class provides the ability to load and style an actor tree from a string representation.
42 * The following is an example in JSON.
47 * "templates": // are named instantiable actor trees
53 * "parentOrigin":[0.5,0.5,0],
57 * "styles": // are named property sets applied to actor trees
61 * "size": [10,10,1] // root properties applied to a given root actor
62 * "actors": // properties applied to actors found by name from root
64 * "ok": // properties for an actor named "ok"
78 * "type":"defaultText",
79 * "text":"Hello World",
87 * The following shows a method to load the json file.
89 * Builder builder = Builder::New();
90 * std::string json_data(ReadFile("layout.json"));
91 * builder.LoadFromString(json_data);
94 * - Load all actors in the "stage" section to the root layer
96 * builder.AddActors( Stage::GetCurrent().GetRootLayer() );
99 * - Create an actor tree from the "templates" section
101 * TextActor actor = TextActor::DownCast( builder.Create( "defaultText" ) );
104 * - Style an actor tree from the "styles" section
106 * builder.ApplyStyle( "myStyle", actor );
109 * - Create an actor tree from json
111 * TextActor actor = TextActor::DownCast( builder.CreateFromJson("{\"type\":\"TextActor\",\"font\":\"\",\"scale\":[50,50,1]}") );
114 * - Apply a style to an actor tree from json
116 * builder.ApplyFromJson( textActor, ("{\"scale\":[5,5,1]}") );
