[SOLVED] Refresh canvas?

Post by runs »

I want to refresh a canvas. My code is:

Code: Select all

local function compose_canvas(x, y)
    --love.graphics.clear()
    love.graphics.setCanvas(canvas)
    love.graphics.setColor(0.8, 0.9, 0.4)
    love.graphics.rectangle("fill", x, y, 100, 100)
    love.graphics.setCanvas()
end

function love.load()
    canvas = love.graphics.newCanvas()
    compose_canvas(0, 0)
end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.draw(canvas, 200, 100, 0, 0.5, 0.5)
end
The problem I have is that calling the compose_canvas function with other parameters, still remains the original one, and does not changes.

I tried with love.graphics.clear() but then the first canvas is created but in the second call dissapears.

Any idea?

If i'm understanding you right, You just need to add love.graphics.clear() right below love.graphics.setCanvas(canvas)

Code: Select all

local function compose_canvas(x, y)
    --love.graphics.clear()
    love.graphics.setCanvas(canvas)
    love.graphics.clear()
    love.graphics.setColor(0.8, 0.9, 0.4)
    love.graphics.rectangle("fill", x, y, 100, 100)
    love.graphics.setCanvas()
end

function love.load()
    canvas = love.graphics.newCanvas()
    compose_canvas(0, 0)
end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.draw(canvas, 200, 100, 0, 0.5, 0.5)
end

end
I tried, but simply the canvas dissapears, it does not redraw.

Finally I've solved with love.graphics.reset( ) instead of clear() cos a previous scale setting, the canvas did not dissapear but was giant.

Thanx for your support.
