There is, kind of; you can do the following:
Code: Select all
love.graphics.setColor(1, 0.5, 1)
love.graphics.rectangle("fill", 200, 200, 100, 100)
love.graphics.push('all') -- saves most graphics state, including colors
love.graphics.setColor(0.4, 1, 0.5)
love.graphics.rectangle("fill", 0, 0, 100, 100)
love.graphics.pop() -- restore graphics state
Yeah, but it still not that good, than just set "love.graphics.rectangle("line", 0, 0, 100, 100, {colors}), without need to wrap things inside another functionzorg wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 5:24 amThere is, kind of; you can do the following:Push/Pop can also be nested, of course, to some reasonable degree.Code: Select all
love.graphics.setColor(1, 0.5, 1) love.graphics.rectangle("fill", 200, 200, 100, 100) love.graphics.push('all') -- saves most graphics state, including colors love.graphics.setColor(0.4, 1, 0.5) love.graphics.rectangle("fill", 0, 0, 100, 100) love.graphics.pop() -- restore graphics state
Code: Select all
local lg_rectangle = love.graphics.rectangle
love.graphics.rectangle = function( mode, x, y, width, height, color )
if color then
local cur_r, cur_g, cur_b, cur_a = love.graphics.getColor()
love.graphics.setColor( color )
lg_rectangle( mode, x, y, width, height )
love.graphics.setColor( cur_r, cur_g, cur_b, cur_a )
else
lg_rectangle( mode, x, y, width, height )
end
end
Code: Select all
function love.graphics.rectangle(mode, x, y, w, h, rx, ry, segments, r, g, b, a, blendmode, alphamode, angle, sx, sy, ox, oy, kx, ky, linestyle, linewidth, shader, canvas, ...)So, you want say, that:It's not wrapped in another function; you just have 2+1 extra function calls.
Code: Select all
love.graphics.setColor(1, 1, 1)
love.graphics.setShader(shader)
*etc*
love.graphics.rectangle(...)
-- draw object with some specific colors, etc
love.graphics.push("all")
love.graphics.setColor(...)
love.graphics.setShader(...)
love.graphics.rectangle(...)
love.graphics.pop()
*OR if i want to draw that object again somewhere, i wrap it in*
function draw(...)
love.graphics.push("all")
love.graphics.setColor(...)
love.graphics.setShader(...)
love.graphics.rectangle(...)
love.graphics.pop()
end
Code: Select all
love.graphics.setColor(1, 1, 1)
love.graphics.setShader(shader)
*etc*
love.graphics.rectangle(...)
-- draw object with some specific colors, etc
love.graphics.rectangle(drawMode, x, y, w, h, r, g, b, a, shader, etc)

Both of those are bad for performance. The way it is implemented now is close to how the underlying OpenGL API works and what GPUs are optimized for. Engines and frameworks are specifically optimized to make use of batching, with the goal being to avoid these state changes as much as possible, because they are so slow.
A well programmed game sorts its primitives anyway, in a way that makes it easier for the framework to batch drawcalls and for the GPU to perform well. Your proposal would only make it easier to write bad/slow code, for no real benefit.
If you want things to work this way, you can easily write the code once on top of the existing API, and use it in your projects. It won't be very performant though.
