Pixi.js: [Question] Standardizing anchor property for all Display Objects

That requires fixed width/height for all objects or calculated layout.

width/height are not first-class citizens in pixi, they are calculated

for sprite and maybe a few other objects width and height match texture size multiplied by scale

No width/height => no anchor.

Yes, maybe you can add overrides for width/height differently that they exist, in that case anchor makes sense. Our implementation is based on Adobe Flash experience.

If you have a team and serious project - I recommend you try write your own stage tree, v5 is almost at the point where its actually possible to do for small teams :)

Extra clarification: there are many things I want to use in pixi trees but if we put them there it will become bloated. I want better handling of transforms, color transforms, queue for changes in stage, added_to_stage , removed_from_stage events and many other things, that's why I'm pushing for changes that lead to possibility of making custom tree nodes.

Thanks for the suggestion. We’ve gotten requests like this before and unfortunately we’ve had to say “no” for the reasons Ivan articulated. I’m going to close this.
