group.maxDepth()

Returns the highest depth in a group.

Sprites are drawn, when drawSprites() is executed, in order from lowest depth to highest depth. The sprites drawn later will overlay sprites drawn earlier.

Examples

var group = createGroup();
for (var i = 0; i < randomNumber(10, 20); i++) {
  group.add(createSprite(randomNumber(0, 400), randomNumber(0, 400),randomNumber(10, 20),randomNumber(10, 20)));
}
console.log(group.minDepth());
console.log(group.maxDepth());
fill("red");
function draw() {
  background("white");
  drawSprites();
  for (var i = 0; i < group.maxDepth(); i++) {
    var temp=group.get(i);
    text(i, temp.x, temp.y);
  }  
}

Syntax

group.maxDepth()

Returns

The highest depth in the group.

Tips

• Groups of sprites all have the same functions and you use the dot notation (combining the name of the group, followed by a dot, with the function name) to call the function for that group of sprites.
