(Image):setMipmapFilter

Available since LÖVE 0.9.0
This function is not supported in earlier versions.

Sets the mipmap filter mode for an Image.

Mipmapping is useful when drawing an image at a reduced scale. It can improve performance and reduce aliasing issues.

O.png It's best to call this method directly after creating the image with love.graphics.newImage, to avoid bugs in certain graphics drivers.  


O.png Due to hardware restrictions and driver bugs, images that weren't loaded from a CompressedData must have power-of-two dimensions (64x64, 512x256, etc.) to support mipmaps and mipmap filtering.  


Function

Automatically creates mipmaps for the Image if none exist yet. If the image is compressed and its CompressedData has mipmap data included, it will use that.
