Container background color without graphics?

[Fennek]

Hello,

 

Is it possible to color the background of a container without using graphics of any sort? Some kind of 'native' background color property or so?

 

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Fennek

A Container is nothing but a collection of other display objects, so cannot be visually represented itself. You need a Graphic or a Sprite (both of which inherit from Container) to even give the container dimensions in the first place

Thank you for the reply.

I'm looking at displaying over 10.000 text 'nodes', each with the same background color. Will each node exist of a smaller container with a graphic + the text that I want to display?  Does this seem like a correct way to do this? Will having a graphic for every text node not affect performance? Since I am effectively doubling my object count then?

 

Kind regards,

Fennek

Tried this out but wasn't really what I'm looking for (or I'm missing something).

Decided to try the graphic with text as a child. Will see how it goes with performance.

 

Thanks in any case

Did you set the width, height, and tint?

var bg = new PIXI.Sprite(PIXI.Texture.WHITE);
bg.width = 800;
bg.height = 500;
bg.tint = 0xff0000;

Not sure why this didn't work then but it does now when I tried it again so thank you
