Hi fellow lövers,

I was just wondering can one copy canvases?

local oldCanvas = mainCanvas

Obviously that doesn't work, because now the oldCanvas just refers to the mainCanvas. And as far as I know canvases don't have :clone() function like particleEffects do.

Thanks,

You can create a new canvas and render the old canvas in it:

Code: Select all

local oldCanvas = love.graphics.newCanvas(mainCanvas:getDimensions())
oldCanvas:renderTo(function()
    love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
    love.graphics.draw(mainCanvas, 0, 0)
end)
