                                     MapLayer

Known Subclasses:
  HexMapLayer, RectMapLayer

Base class for Maps.

Maps are comprised of tiles and can figure out which tiles are required to be rendered on screen.

Both rect and hex maps have the following attributes:

> id -- identifies the map in XML and Resources (width, height) -- size of map in cells (px_width, px_height) -- size of map in pixels (tw, th) -- size of each cell in pixels (origin_x, origin_y, origin_z) -- offset of map top left from origin in pixels cells -- array [i][j] of Cell instances debug -- display debugging information on cells properties -- arbitrary properties

The debug flag turns on textual display of data about each visible cell including its cell index, origin pixel and any properties set on the cell.

## Method Details

### __init__

(Constructor) __init__(self, properties)

Overrides:
  layer.scrolling.ScrollableLayer.__init__

### __contains__

(In operator) __contains__(self, key)

Overrides:
  cocosnode.CocosNode.__contains__

### get

get(self, key, default=None)

Gets a child from the container given its name

Warning: if a node is added with name, then removed not by name, the name cannot be recycled: attempting to add other node with this name will produce an Exception.

Returns:
  CocosNode: the child named 'name'. Will raise Exception if not present
Overrides:
  cocosnode.CocosNode.get

### set_dirty

set_dirty(self)
The viewport has changed in some way.

Overrides:
  layer.scrolling.ScrollableLayer.set_dirty

### set_view

set_view(self, x, y, w, h, viewport_x=0, viewport_y=0)

Overrides:
  layer.scrolling.ScrollableLayer.set_view

### get_visible_cells

get_visible_cells(self)

Given the current view in map-space pixels, transform it based on the current screen-space transform and figure the region of map-space pixels currently visible.

Pass to get_in_region to return a list of Cell instances.
