Previous comments about `newFrameBuffer` are outdated (method removed in love 0.8.0): https://love2d.org/wiki/Framebuffer

Current code uses `Canvas` (you can use the provided example from the documentation: https://love2d.org/wiki/Canvas

Code: Select all

-- store something in canvas
    love.graphics.setCanvas(canvas)
        love.graphics.rectangle('fill', 0, 0, 100, 100)
    love.graphics.setCanvas()

-- render the canvas later
    love.graphics.draw(canvas)
ps - I'm a newbie so I'm happy if others add/improve/clarify what I wrote :3

The code seems to be fine and dandy, but please don't necropost into 9 year old threads when the original poster's most likely not even here anymore. :v

This is a rather pessimistic way of looking at things. I am sure he or she has been keenly waiting for that reply.

On the contrary, i am unfairly optimistic that the OP had the better part of a decade to make their 4 posts worthwhile, and they kept tabs on löve enough to know that Canvases existed since v0.9.0 and that others will find the wiki anyway, making the above post completely unnecessary :3

I commented because my Google search (trying to find how answer the OP question) brought me to this post, even though it's so old.

Hoping the next unlucky soul stuck with this quandary will have an easier time ;)
