Radar `<mv-radar>`

Cómo funciona

Pantalla de radar WebGL dibujada con los tokens del tema: un haz gira en sentido horario desde el norte sobre anillos de distancia discontinuos y una escala de brújula, los ecos difuminados a lo largo del arco se encienden a su paso y se desvanecen hasta la siguiente vuelta, los contactos en movimiento dejan un historial de trazas y un vector de velocidad, y unos ecos parásitos granulosos responden cerca del centro. El puntero lleva un anillo de distancia y una línea de rumbo, y fija una ventana sobre el contacto que tiene debajo. Las apps pueden trazar sus propios contactos, alertas incluidas. Funciona en temas claros y oscuros.

When to use

A monitoring, security or logistics hero wants a calm scanning scope behind the headline, in light or dark themes
A status panel should plot a few real items (services, vehicles, sensors) by distance and direction, with alerts flagged
A search or discovery screen needs a sense of scanning while results load

Avoid when

Real places must be shown on a map; the scope only knows range and bearing → use World Map instead
Concentric ripples over a grid are wanted without a rotating beam → use Ripple Grid instead
The contacts are data that people must read; the canvas is decorative, so give the same data as text or a table

API

Attributes

Name	Tipo	Default	Description
`color`	CSS color	`var(--mv-accent)`	Accent of the beam, echoes, compass marker and pointer tools (tokens accepted, read again on theme change).
`background`	CSS color	`var(--mv-bg)`	Paper color under the scope (tokens accepted).
`line-color`	CSS color	`var(--mv-fg)`	Ink of the rings, spokes and compass scale, drawn at low opacity over the paper (tokens accepted).
`alert-color`	CSS color	`var(--mv-danger)`	Color of contacts marked alert in targets (tokens accepted).
`rings`	number	`4`	Number of range rings, the rim included (1 to 12).
`blips`	number	`7`	Number of decorative contacts (0 to 12); about a third stay fixed, the others patrol. 0 keeps only targets.
`targets`	string		Your own contacts, up to 8: "range bearing [strength] [alert]" separated by commas, e.g. "0.4 30, 0.8 250 1 alert". Range 0..1 of the scope, bearing in degrees clockwise from north, strength 0 to 2 (default 1). Also a JS property (array of { range, bearing, strength, alert }).
`scale`	number	`1`	Scope size relative to the element height.
`trail`	number	`1`	Length of the beam's afterglow and how long echoes persist (0.1 to 3).
`clutter`	number	`0.5`	Grainy returns around the center, 0 to 1 (0 turns them off).
`origin`	x y	`0.5 0.5`	Scope center in 0..1 element coordinates (y pointing up), e.g. "0.7 0.5" to leave room for a headline.
`speed`	number	`1`	Time multiplier (one turn takes 6 s at 1).
`paused`	boolean		Freezes the animation on the current frame.
`interactive`	boolean		Pointer tools follow the pointer only over the element itself (otherwise across the window).
`dpr`	number	`1.5`	Max pixel density (capped at 2).
`data-fill`	boolean		Fills the positioned parent (absolute, inset 0).

Properties

Name	Tipo	Description
`targets`	Array<{ range, bearing, strength?, alert? }>	Reads or sets the app contacts; setting it rewrites the targets attribute. Values are clamped (range 0..1, strength 0..2) and only the first 8 are drawn.

Events

Name	Description
`mv-error`	Inherited from `<mv-shader>`: the GLSL failed to compile. The element shows its still fallback scope.

Content structure

Name	Description
`children`	Content placed inside the element sits above the scope.

Accessibility

Decorative: the canvas is aria-hidden and never takes pointer events, so content placed above it stays clickable and in reading order. Contacts plotted with targets are not announced: give the same data as text (a list or table) when people need it. The loop stops off screen and in hidden tabs, and no WebGL context is created until the element nears the viewport. Reduced motion (OS or <html data-motion="reduce">) and paused keep a still frame with the beam to the north-east and the contacts painted. Without WebGL2 a still CSS scope is shown; forced colors and print hide the canvas. Keep headline text in the theme foreground, which the faint scope leaves readable; the beam passes behind it at low opacity.
