      var background = knob.getElement('background');
      
    • Circular progress game object
      var circularProgress = knob.getElement('knob');
      
    • Text game object
      var text = knob.getElement('text');
      
  • Get by name
    var gameObject = knob.getElement('#' + name);
    // var gameObject = knob.getElement('#' + name, recursive);
    
    or
    var gameObject = knob.getByName(name);
    // var gameObject = knob.getByName(name, recursive);
    
    • recursive : Set true to search all children recursively.

Enable

  • Get
    var enable = knob.enable;
    
  • Set
    knob.setEanble(enable);
    
    or
    knob.enable = enable;
    

Value

Change value will also change the position of knob thumb and width of knob indicator.

  • Get value
    var value = knob.getValue(min, max); // value : min ~ max
    
    or
    var value = knob.getValue(); // value: 0 ~ 1
    
    or
    var value = knob.value; // value: 0 ~ 1
    
  • Set value
    knob.setValue(value, min, max); // value: min ~ max
    
    or
    knob.setValue(value); // value: 0 ~ 1
    
    or
    knob.value = value; // value: 0 ~ 1
    
  • Increase value
    knob.addValue(inc, min, max); // inc: min ~ max
    
    or
    knob.addValue(inc); // inc: 0 ~ 1
    
    or
    knob.value += inc; // inc: 0 ~ 1
    

Ease value

  • Ease value to
    knob.easeValueTo(value, min, max);  // value: min ~ max
    
    or
    knob.easeValueTo(value);  // value: 0 ~ 1
    
  • Stop ease
    knob.stopEaseValue();
    
  • Set ease duration
    knob.setEaseValueDuration(duration);

Events

  • On value changed
    knob.on('valuechange', function(newValue, oldValue, knob){
        //
