API Reference > imodeljs-frontend > Views > OffScreenViewport OffScreenViewport Class A viewport that draws to an offscreen buffer instead of to the screen. An offscreen viewport is never added to the ViewManager, therefore does not participate in the render loop. Its dimensions are specified directly instead of being derived from an HTMLCanvasElement, and its renderFrame function must be manually invoked. Offscreen viewports can be useful for, e.g., producing an image from the contents of a view (see Viewport.readImage and Viewport.readImageToCanvas) without drawing to the screen.

A value of 1 means antialiasing is disabled. A higher number of samples correlates generally to a higher quality image butis also more demanding on the graphics hardware. areAllTileTreesLoaded Accessor ReadOnly boolean Viewport Returns true if all TileTrees required by this viewport have been loaded. auxCoordSystem Accessor ReadOnly AuxCoordSystemState Viewport backgroundMapSettings Accessor BackgroundMapSettings Viewport The settings controlling how a background map is displayed within a view. clipStyle Accessor ClipStyle Viewport continuousRendering Accessor boolean Viewport Enables or disables continuous rendering. Ideally, during each render frame a Viewport will do as little work as possible.To make that possible, the viewport keeps track of what has changed about its internal state from one frame to the next.For example, if the view frustum has not changed since the previous frame, it is likely that the viewport does not need to bere-rendered at all.In some circumstances, it is desirable to bypass the logic that limits the amount of work performed each frame. A primary exampleis a viewport that has some animations applied to it, or when diagnostic information like frames-per-second is being monitored. debugBoundingBoxes Accessor TileBoundingBoxes Viewport Determines what type (if any) of debug graphics will be displayed to visualize Tile volumes. Chiefly for debugging. devicePixelRatio Accessor ReadOnly number Viewport The device pixel ratio used by this Viewport. This value is not necessarily equal to window.devicePixelRatio.See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/devicePixelRatio displayStyle Accessor DisplayStyleState Viewport emphasisSettings Accessor Settings Viewport The settings that control how emphasized elements are displayed in this Viewport. The default settings apply a thick black silhouette to the emphasized elements. featureOverrideProvider Accessor undefined | FeatureOverrideProvider Viewport An object which can customize the appearance of Viewport.Features within a viewport.If defined, the provider will be invoked whenever the overrides are determined to need updating.The overrides can be explicitly marked as needing a refresh by calling Viewport.setFeatureOverrideProviderChanged. This is typically called whenthe internal state of the provider changes such that the computed overrides must also change. flashedId Accessor undefined | string Viewport The Id of the currently-flashed object.The "flashed" visual effect is typically applied to the object in the viewport currently under the mouse cursor, to indicateit is ready to be interacted with by a tool. ToolAdmin is responsible for updating it when the mouse cursor moves.The object is usually an Element but could also be a Model or pickable decoration produced by a Decorator.The setter ignores any string that is not a well-formed Id64String. Passing Id64.invalid to thesetter is equivalent to passing undefined - both mean "nothing is flashed". flashSettings Accessor FlashSettings Viewport The settings that control how elements are flashed in this viewport. hilite Accessor Settings Viewport The settings that control how elements are hilited in this Viewport. iModel Accessor ReadOnly IModelConnection Viewport The iModel of this Viewport isAlwaysDrawnExclusive Accessor ReadOnly boolean Viewport Returns true if the set of elements in the Viewport.alwaysDrawn set are the only elements rendered within this view. isCameraOn Accessor ReadOnly boolean Viewport True if this is a 3d view with the camera turned on. isDisposed Accessor ReadOnly boolean Viewport Returns true if this Viewport's Viewport.dispose method has been invoked. It is an error to attempt to interact with a disposed Viewport.Typically a ScreenViewport becomes disposed as a result of a call to ViewManager.dropViewport, often indirectly through the unmounting of a nine-zone UI's ViewportComponent when, e.g., switching front-stages. isFadeOutActive Accessor boolean Viewport Enables or disables "fade-out" mode. When this mode is enabled, transparent graphics are rendered with a flat alpha weight,causing them to appear de-emphasized. This is typically used in contexts in which a handful of elements are to be emphasized in the view,while the rest of the graphics are drawn transparently. isGridOn Accessor ReadOnly boolean Viewport Determine whether the Grid display is currently enabled in this Viewport. lastFlashedElementId Accessor ReadOnly undefined | string Viewport The Id of the most recently flashed element, if any. lightSettings Accessor ReadOnly undefined | LightSettings Viewport neverDrawn Accessor ReadOnly undefined | Id64Set Viewport Ids of a set of elements which should not be rendered within this view. numReadyTiles Accessor ReadOnly number Viewport The number of tiles which were ready and met the desired level-of-detail for display in the view as of the most recently-drawn frame.These tiles may not have been selected because some other (probably sibling) tiles were not ready for display.This is a useful metric for determining how "complete" the view is - e.g., one indicator of progress toward view completion can be expressed as: (numReadyTiles) / (numReadyTiles + numRequestedTiles) numRequestedTiles Accessor ReadOnly number Viewport The number of outstanding requests for tiles to be displayed in this viewport. numSelectedTiles Accessor ReadOnly number Viewport The number of tiles selected for display in the view as of the most recently-drawn frame.The tiles selected may not meet the desired level-of-detail for the view, instead being temporarily drawn whiletiles of more appropriate level-of-detail are loaded asynchronously. onAlwaysDrawnChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after this viewport's set of always-drawn elements changes. onChangeView Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport, previousViewState: ViewState) => void> Viewport Event invoked immediately when Viewport.changeView is called to replace the current ViewState with a different one. onDisplayStyleChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after this viewport's DisplayStyleState or its members change. onDisposed Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event invoked immediately when the viewport is disposed. onFeatureOverrideProviderChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after this viewport's FeatureOverrideProvider changes, onFeatureOverridesChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after this viewport's FeatureSymbology.Overrides change. onFlashedIdChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport, args: OnFlashedIdChangedEventArgs) => void> Viewport Event dispatched immediately after Viewport.flashedId changes, supplying the Ids of the previousl-y and/or currently-flashed objects. onNeverDrawnChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after this viewport's set of never-drawn elements changes. onRender Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Called when the visible contents of the viewport are redrawn. onResized Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event invoked after Viewport.renderFrame detects that the dimensions of the viewport's ViewRect have changed. onViewChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called whenever this viewport is synchronized with its ViewState. onViewedCategoriesChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after this viewport's set of displayed categories changes. onViewedCategoriesPerModelChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after this viewport's set of PerModelCategoryVisibility.Overrides changes. onViewedModelsChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after this viewport's set of displayed models changes. onViewportChanged Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport, changed: ChangeFlags) => void> Viewport Event called on the next frame after any of the viewport's ChangeFlags changes. onViewUndoRedo Readonly BeEvent<(vp: Viewport, event: ViewUndoEvent) => void> Viewport Event called after reversing the most recent change to the Viewport from the undo stack or reapplying the perModelCategoryVisibility Accessor ReadOnly PerModelCategoryVisibility.Overrides Viewport Allows visibility of categories within this viewport to be overridden on a per-model basis. rotation Accessor ReadOnly Matrix3d Viewport This viewport's rotation matrix. screenSpaceEffects Accessor Iterable<string> Viewport An ordered list of names of screen-space post-processing effects to be applied to the image rendered by the Viewport.The effects are applied to the image in the order in which they appear in the list.
