Reduces the space the text has to fit into. Since the system clips to bounds, things like padding do not factor in here, so if the button is set to clip (right), theĬontents will run all the way to the edge before it is cut off, whereas if the text is responsible for handling the clipping (center), then the text clips based on things like the button content padding that Take note of the difference it makes when clipping is assigned to different objects. Right - Clipping is enabled on the button. Left - No clipping is enabled on the button or the text. Here are a few examples of what you might see with various clipping setups:
#POPCLIP CONVERT WINDOWS#
If you were to consider game UI as an example, you wouldn't really need to adjust the widget in UMG and mostly would change this for something like a scroll panel, or in cases, like the Editor, where you can't control the length of the text and need to clip it for resizing the windows or parts of the panel. Now, any transform that is applied to the inner widgets will be correctly clipped at the edges (right).Ĥ.16 and earlier clipping and transforms.Ĥ.17 and later, clipping applied at edgesįor the most part, you shouldn't need to worry about changing the clipping state of a widget.
This frees up six floats in the Slate vertex format, and no longer need to clip in the pixel shaderīecause the new system supports clipping in the render space of the widgets instead of requiring axis-alignment, the system no longer needs to be concerned with clipping issues (left), and instead clips Slate can no longer batch across clipping zones. Render Transforms are no longer "special," so any transform can allow you to render outside of another widget, provided it doesn't clip. Very few widgets clip now (by default), consisting mostly of scroll panels and editable text fields Render Transforms are "special" in that they allow rendering outside the clipping rect provided by the parent, with side effects when the layout rect is clippedĪxis-aligned clipping zone using Scissor Rects to clip - which avoids unnecessary pixel shader operationsĬomplex clipping zones use the stencil buffer to compose an arbitrary stack of clipping zones into the stencil buffer that is then used to clip draw calls The clipping system used in prior versions was limited and only axis-aligned for layout-space which lead to noticeable difficulties with render transforms, generally around edges, like in theĪxis-aligned clipping - Only functions in layout spaceĪll clipping is done in the pixel shader (requires six floats per vertex)Īllowed batching across clipping rects, since the rects are part of the batch data This creates a potential to add more rendering effects for tool systems like UMG Unreal Engine 4.17 overhauled the clipping system to be much more flexible than it has in previous versions. With UMG, this enables better render transforms that clip appropriately for your UI. Slate enables users to move panels and resize them as needed in the Editor,Īnd the clipping system enables the text and graphics to be confined to their clipping rect. This system is used throughout the Editor and the UMG UI Designer tools. This is done by creating a clipping rectangle (or clipping rect) around the The Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) uses Slate's clipping system to restrict graphics or text to a region of your screen. With the release of Unreal Engine 4.17, the new Slate Clipping System will break backward compatibility for versions 4.16 and earlier that update.
