dragDeltaXY_

non-null Blockly.utils.Coordinate

getMetrics

function() returns non-null Object

horizontalLayout

unknown

Inherited from

Blockly.Workspace#horizontalLayout

id

unknown

Inherited from

injectionDiv_

non-null Element

isClearing

package

unknown

Returns true if the workspace is currently in the process of a bulk clear.

Inherited from

Blockly.Workspace#isClearing

isFlyout

boolean

Is this workspace the surface for a flyout?

isMutator

package

boolean

Is this workspace the surface for a mutator?

keyboardAccessibilityMode

package

boolean

True if keyboard accessibility mode is on, false otherwise.

Inherited from

Blockly.Workspace#MAX_UNDO

options

unknown

Inherited from

redoStack_

protected

unknown

Inherited from

rendered

boolean

The render status of an SVG workspace. Returns false for headless workspaces and true for instances of Blockly.WorkspaceSvg.

RTL

unknown

Inherited from

Blockly.Workspace#RTL

scale

number

Current scale.

scrollbar

Blockly.ScrollbarPair

This workspace's scrollbars, if they exist.

scrollX

number

Current horizontal scrolling offset in pixel units, relative to the workspace origin.

It is useful to think about a view, and a canvas moving beneath that view. As the canvas moves right, this value becomes more positive, and the view is now "seeing" the left side of the canvas. As the canvas moves left, this value becomes more negative, and the view is now "seeing" the right side of the canvas.

The confusing thing about this value is that it does not, and must not include the absoluteLeft offset. This is because it is used to calculate the viewLeft value.

The viewLeft is relative to the workspace origin (although in pixel units). The workspace origin is the top-left corner of the workspace (at least when it is enabled). It is shifted from the top-left of the blocklyDiv so as not to be beneath the toolbox.

When the workspace is enabled the viewLeft and workspace origin are at the same X location. As the canvas slides towards the right beneath the view this value (scrollX) becomes more positive, and the viewLeft becomes more negative relative to the workspace origin (imagine the workspace origin as a dot on the canvas sliding to the right as the canvas moves).

So if the scrollX were to include the absoluteLeft this would in a way "unshift" the workspace origin. This means that the viewLeft would be representing the left edge of the blocklyDiv, rather than the left edge of the workspace.

scrollY

number

Current vertical scrolling offset in pixel units, relative to the workspace origin.

It is useful to think about a view, and a canvas moving beneath that view. As the canvas moves down, this value becomes more positive, and the view is now "seeing" the upper part of the canvas. As the canvas moves up, this value becomes more negative, and the view is "seeing" the lower part of the canvas.

This confusing thing about this value is that it does not, and must not include the absoluteTop offset. This is because it is used to calculate the viewTop value.

The viewTop is relative to the workspace origin (although in pixel units). The workspace origin is the top-left corner of the workspace (at least when it is enabled). It is shifted from the top-left of the blocklyDiv so as not to be beneath the toolbox.

When the workspace is enabled the viewTop and workspace origin are at the same Y location. As the canvas slides towards the bottom this value (scrollY) becomes more positive, and the viewTop becomes more negative relative to the workspace origin (image in the workspace origin as a dot on the canvas sliding downwards as the canvas moves).

So if the scrollY were to include the absoluteTop this would in a way "unshift" the workspace origin. This means that the viewTop would be representing the top edge of the blocklyDiv, rather than the top edge of the workspace.

setMetrics

function(non-null Object) returns void

startScrollX

number

Horizontal scroll value when scrolling started in pixel units.

startScrollY

number

Vertical scroll value when scrolling started in pixel units.
