class SKView : UIView
class SKView : NSView
You present a scene by calling the view’s present method. When a scene is presented by the view, it alternates between running its simulation (which animates the content) and rendering the content for display. You can pause the scene by setting the view’s is property to true.
Present a scene to display content on the screen.
var scene: SKScene?The scene currently presented by this view.
func presentPresents a scene.
func presentTransitions from the current scene to a new scene.
class SKTransitionAn object used to perform an animated transition to a new scene.
Control the timing of the view's screen updates.
var isA Boolean value that indicates whether the view’s scene animations are paused.
var preferredThe animation frame rate that the view uses to render its scene.
var delegate: SKViewA delegate that allows dynamic control of the view's render rate.
protocol SKViewMethods to take custom control over the view's render rate.
var frameThe number of frames that must pass before the scene is called to update its contents.
var preferredDeprecatedControl hints that have performance implications which are unique to your app.
var ignoresA Boolean value that indicates whether parent-child and sibling relationships affect the rendering order of nodes in the scene.
var shouldA Boolean value that indicates whether the view automatically culls non-visible nodes from the rendering tree.
var allowsA Boolean property that indicates whether the view is rendered using transparency.
var isA Boolean value that indicates whether the content is rendered asynchronously.
Display metrics in the bottom corner of the view for debugging purposes.
var showsA Boolean value that indicates whether the view displays a frame rate indicator.
var showsA Boolean value that indicates whether the view displays an overlay that shows physics bodies that are visible in the scene.
var showsA Boolean value that indicates whether the view displays the number of drawing passes it needed to render the view.
var showsA Boolean value that indicates whether the view displays the number of rectangles used to render the scene.
var showsA Boolean value that indicates whether the view displays physics-related debugging information.
var showsA Boolean value that indicates whether the view displays information about physics fields in the scene.
Convert to or from scene and view coordinates which is a common task for touch or mouse input.
func convert(CGPoint, from: SKScene) -> CGPointConverts a point from scene coordinates to view coordinates.
func convert(CGPoint, to: SKScene) -> CGPointConverts a point from view coordinates to scene coordinates.
Create a texture that is a flattened or cropped portion of the node heirarchy.
func texture(from: SKNode, crop: CGRect) -> SKTexture?Renders a portion of a node’s contents and returns the rendered image as a texture.
func texture(from: SKNode) -> SKTexture?Renders the contents of a node tree and returns the rendered image as a texture.
Render a portion of the node tree into a new texture.
Switch to the legacy renderer temporarily for debugging purposes.
Compare the different ways to display a SpriteKit scene.
class SKRendererAn object that renders a scene into a custom Metal rendering pipeline and drives the scene update cycle.
class WKInterfaceA visual WatchKit element that displays a SpriteKit scene.
