Geometry

Available since LÖVE 0.9.0

This type is not supported in earlier versions.

A polygonal shape with texture coordinate information.

Geometries can be used to select part of a texture to draw. In this way, one large texture atlas can be loaded, and then split up into sub-images.

Geometries replace the old Quad type completely since they can do the same and more.

Constructors

Examples

Emulate 0.8.0's Quad:setViewport

-- Quad:setViewport doesn't exist in 0.9.0+, but we can still create a function which does the same thing.
-- The original image's width and height are needed as well, unlike with 0.8.0's Quad:setViewport.
function setQuadViewport(geometry, x, y, w, h, sw, sh)
	geometry:setVertex(1, 0, 0, x/sw, y/sh)
	geometry:setVertex(2, 0, h, x/sw, (y+h)/sh)
	geometry:setVertex(3, w, h, (x+w)/sw, (y+h)/sh)
	geometry:setVertex(4, w, 0, (x+w)/sw, y/sh)
end

setQuadViewport(myGeometry, 0, 0, 32, 32, myImage:getDimensions())
