print(myImage:getWidth())
love.graphics.draw(myImage, 50, 10)
-- after:
myImage = Image("image.png") -- or just Image "image.png" - Lua is cool like that.
print(myImage:getWidth()) -- the object's functions still work without a hitch!
myImage:draw(50, 10) -- and you can pass all the other love.graphics.draw arguments to this function as well!
