ultralight::Config Struct Reference

#include <Ultralight/platform/Config.h>

Details

Global config for Ultralight.

This can be used to configure the library by calling Platform::set_config() before creating the Renderer or App singletons.

Example usage

Config config;
config.user_stylesheet = "body { background: purple; }";
 
Platform::instance().set_config(config);
// (Setup other Platform interfaces here.)
 
auto renderer = Renderer::Create();

Member Data Documentation

animation_timer_delay

double ultralight::Config::animation_timer_delay = 1.0 / 60.0

The delay (in seconds) between every tick of a CSS animation.

(Default: 60 FPS)

bitmap_alignment

uint32_t ultralight::Config::bitmap_alignment = 16

The alignment (in bytes) of the BitmapSurface when using the CPU renderer.

The underlying bitmap associated with each BitmapSurface will have row_bytes padded to reach this alignment.

Aligning the bitmap helps improve performance when using the CPU renderer. Determining the proper value to use depends on the CPU architecture and max SIMD instruction set used.

We generally target the 128-bit SSE2 instruction set across most PC platforms so '16' is a safe value to use.

You can set this to '0' to perform no padding (row_bytes will always be width * 4) at a slight cost to performance.

cache_path

String ultralight::Config::cache_path

A writable OS file path to store persistent Session data in.

This data may include cookies, cached network resources, indexed DB, etc.

Note

Files are only written to the path when using a persistent Session.

See also

Renderer::CreateSession()

face_winding

FaceWinding ultralight::Config::face_winding = FaceWinding::CounterClockwise

The winding order for front-facing triangles.

Precondition

Only used when GPU rendering is enabled for the View.

FaceWinding

font_gamma

double ultralight::Config::font_gamma = 1.8

The gamma to use when compositing font glyphs.

You can change this value to adjust font contrast (Adobe and Apple prefer 1.8).

font_hinting

FontHinting ultralight::Config::font_hinting = FontHinting::Normal

The hinting algorithm to use when rendering fonts.

See also

FontHinting

force_repaint

bool ultralight::Config::force_repaint = false

Whether or not to continuously repaint any Views, regardless if they are dirty.

This is mainly used to diagnose painting/shader issues and profile performance.

max_update_time

double ultralight::Config::max_update_time = 1.0 / 200.0

The max amount of time (in seconds) to allow repeating timers to run during each call to Renderer::Update.

The library will attempt to throttle timers if this time budget is exceeded.

memory_cache_size

uint32_t ultralight::Config::memory_cache_size = 64 * 1024 * 1024

The size of WebCore's memory cache in bytes.

Note

You should increase this if you anticipate handling pages with large resources, Safari typically uses 128+ MiB for its cache.

min_large_heap_size

uint32_t ultralight::Config::min_large_heap_size = 32 * 1024 * 1024

The minimum size of large VM heaps in JavaScriptCore.

Set this to a lower value to make these heaps start with a smaller initial value.

min_small_heap_size

uint32_t ultralight::Config::min_small_heap_size = 1 * 1024 * 1024

The minimum size of small VM heaps in JavaScriptCore.

Set this to a lower value to make these heaps start with a smaller initial value.

num_renderer_threads

uint32_t ultralight::Config::num_renderer_threads = 0

The number of threads to use in the Renderer (for parallel painting on the CPU, etc.).

You can set this to a certain number to limit the number of threads to spawn.

Note

If this value is 0, the number of threads will be determined at runtime using the following formula:

max(PhysicalProcessorCount() - 1, 1)

override_ram_size

uint32_t ultralight::Config::override_ram_size = 0

The system's physical RAM size in bytes.

JavaScriptCore tries to detect the system's physical RAM size to set reasonable allocation limits. Set this to anything other than 0 to override the detected value. Size is in bytes.

This can be used to force JavaScriptCore to be more conservative with its allocation strategy (at the cost of some performance).

page_cache_size

uint32_t ultralight::Config::page_cache_size = 0

The number of pages to keep in the cache.

(Default: 0, none)

Note

Safari typically caches about 5 pages and maintains an on-disk cache to support typical web-browsing activities.

If you increase this, you should probably increase the memory cache size as well.

recycle_delay

double ultralight::Config::recycle_delay = 4.0

The delay (in seconds) between every call to the recycler.

The library attempts to reclaim excess memory during calls to the internal recycler. You can change how often this is run by modifying this value.

resource_path_prefix

String ultralight::Config::resource_path_prefix = "resources/"

The relative path to the resources folder (loaded via the FileSystem API).

The library loads certain resources (SSL certs, ICU data, etc.) from the FileSystem API during runtime (eg, file:///resources/cacert.pem).

You can customize the relative file path to the resources folder by modifying this setting.

FileSystem

scroll_timer_delay

double ultralight::Config::scroll_timer_delay = 1.0 / 60.0

The delay (in seconds) between every tick of a smooth scroll animation.

(Default: 60 FPS)

user_stylesheet

String ultralight::Config::user_stylesheet

Global user-defined CSS string (included before any CSS on the page).

You can use this to override default styles for various elements on the page.

Note

This is an actual string of CSS, not a file path.
