Flag Specifier Format Flag Specifier Format
--------------------- ---------------------
Flags using the standardized flag specifier format can be specified in either of
two ways, by string or table.
The string format is a comma-delimited set of flag names; whitespace and Refer to `lua_api.md`.
unrecognized flag fields are ignored. Specifying a flag in the string sets the
flag, and specifying a flag prefixed by the string `"no"` explicitly
clears the flag from whatever the default may be.
In addition to the standard string flag format, the schematic flags field can
also be a table of flag names to boolean values representing whether or not the
flag is set. Additionally, if a field with the flag name prefixed with `"no"`
is present, mapped to a boolean of any value, the specified flag is unset.
E.g. A flag field of value
```lua
{place_center_x = true, place_center_y=false, place_center_z=true}
```
is equivalent to
```lua
{place_center_x = true, noplace_center_y=true, place_center_z=true}
```
which is equivalent to
```lua
"place_center_x, noplace_center_y, place_center_z"
```
or even
```lua
"place_center_x, place_center_z"
```
since, by default, no schematic attributes are set.

HUD element types
-----------------
The position field is used for all element types.
To account for differing resolutions, the position coordinates are the percentage
of the screen, ranging in value from `0` to `1`.
The name field is not yet used, but should contain a description of what the
HUD element represents. The direction field is the direction in which something
is drawn.
`0` draws from left to right, `1` draws from right to left, `2` draws from
top to bottom, and `3` draws from bottom to top.
The `alignment` field specifies how the item will be aligned. It ranges from `-1` to `1`,
with `0` being the center, `-1` is moved to the left/up, and `1` is to the right/down.
Fractional values can be used.
The `offset` field specifies a pixel offset from the position. Contrary to position,
the offset is not scaled to screen size. This allows for some precisely-positioned
items in the HUD.
**Note**: `offset` _will_ adapt to screen DPI as well as user defined scaling factor!
Below are the specific uses for fields in each type; fields not listed for that type are ignored.
**Note**: Future revisions to the HUD API may be incompatible; the HUD API is still
in the experimental stages.
### `image`
Displays an image on the HUD.
* `scale`: The scale of the image, with 1 being the original texture size.
Only the X coordinate scale is used (positive values).
Negative values represent that percentage of the screen it
should take; e.g. `x=-100` means 100% (width).
* `text`: The name of the texture that is displayed.
* `alignment`: The alignment of the image.
* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
### `text`
Displays text on the HUD.
* `scale`: Defines the bounding rectangle of the text.
A value such as `{x=100, y=100}` should work.
* `text`: The text to be displayed in the HUD element.
* `number`: An integer containing the RGB value of the color used to draw the text.
Specify `0xFFFFFF` for white text, `0xFF0000` for red, and so on.
* `alignment`: The alignment of the text.
* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
### `statbar`
Displays a horizontal bar made up of half-images.
* `text`: The name of the texture that is used.
* `number`: The number of half-textures that are displayed.
If odd, will end with a vertically center-split texture.
* `direction`
* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
* `size`: If used, will force full-image size to this value (override texture pack image size)
### `inventory`
* `text`: The name of the inventory list to be displayed.
* `number`: Number of items in the inventory to be displayed.
* `item`: Position of item that is selected.
* `direction`
* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
### `waypoint`
Displays distance to selected world position.
* `name`: The name of the waypoint.
* `text`: Distance suffix. Can be blank.
* `precision`: Waypoint precision, integer >= 0. Defaults to 10.
If set to 0, distance is not shown. Shown value is `floor(distance*precision)/precision`.
When the precision is an integer multiple of 10, there will be `log_10(precision)` digits after the decimal point.
`precision = 1000`, for example, will show 3 decimal places (eg: `0.999`).
`precision = 2` will show multiples of `0.5`; precision = 5 will show multiples of `0.2` and so on:
`precision = n` will show multiples of `1/n`
* `number:` An integer containing the RGB value of the color used to draw the
text.
* `world_pos`: World position of the waypoint.
* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
* `alignment`: The alignment of the waypoint.
### `image_waypoint`
Same as `image`, but does not accept a `position`; the position is instead determined by `world_pos`, the world position of the waypoint.
* `scale`: The scale of the image, with 1 being the original texture size.
Only the X coordinate scale is used (positive values).
Negative values represent that percentage of the screen it
should take; e.g. `x=-100` means 100% (width).
* `text`: The name of the texture that is displayed.
* `alignment`: The alignment of the image.
* `world_pos`: World position of the waypoint.
* `offset`: offset in pixels from position.
