Line (lv_line)

Overview

The Line object is capable of drawing straight lines between a set of points.

Parts and Styles

The Line has only a main part, called LV_LABEL_PART_MAIN. It uses all the line style properties.

Usage

Set points

The points has to be stored in an lv_point_t array and passed to the object by the lv_line_set_points(lines, point_array, point_cnt) function.

Auto-size

It is possible to automatically set the size of the line object according to its points. It can be enable with the lv_line_set_auto_size(line, true) function. If enabled then when the points are set the object's width and height will be changed according to the maximal x and y coordinates among the points. The auto size is enabled by default.

Invert y

By deafult, the y == 0 point is in the top of the object. It might be conter-intuitive in some cases so the y coordinates can be inverted with lv_line_set_y_invert(line, true). In this case, y == 0 will be the bottom of teh obejct. The y invert is disabled by default.

Events

    lv_line_set_points(line1, line_points, 5);     /*Set the points*/
    lv_obj_add_style(line1, LV_LINE_PART_MAIN, &style_line);     /*Set the points*/
    lv_obj_align(line1, NULL, LV_ALIGN_CENTER, 0, 0);

API

Typedefs

typedef uint8_t lv_line_style_t

Enums

enum [anonymous]

Values:

enumerator LV_LINE_PART_MAIN

Functions

lv_obj_t *lv_line_create(lv_obj_t *par, const lv_obj_t *copy)

Create a line objects

Parameters

par -- pointer to an object, it will be the parent of the new line

Returns

pointer to the created line

void lv_line_set_points(lv_obj_t *line, const lv_point_t point_a[], uint16_t point_num)

Set an array of points. The line object will connect these points.

Parameters
  • line -- pointer to a line object

  • point_a -- an array of points. Only the address is saved, so the array can NOT be a local variable which will be destroyed

  • point_num -- number of points in 'point_a'

void lv_line_set_auto_size(lv_obj_t *line, bool en)

Enable (or disable) the auto-size option. The size of the object will fit to its points. (set width to x max and height to y max)

Parameters
  • line -- pointer to a line object

  • en -- true: auto size is enabled, false: auto size is disabled

void lv_line_set_y_invert(lv_obj_t *line, bool en)

Enable (or disable) the y coordinate inversion. If enabled then y will be subtracted from the height of the object, therefore the y=0 coordinate will be on the bottom.

Parameters
  • line -- pointer to a line object

  • en -- true: enable the y inversion, false:disable the y inversion

bool lv_line_get_auto_size(const lv_obj_t *line)

Get the auto size attribute

Parameters

line -- pointer to a line object

Returns

true: auto size is enabled, false: disabled

bool lv_line_get_y_invert(const lv_obj_t *line)

Get the y inversion attribute

Parameters

line -- pointer to a line object

Returns

true: y inversion is enabled, false: disabled
