Draws a Drawable object (an Image, Canvas, SpriteBatch, ParticleSystem, Mesh, Text object, or Video) on the screen with optional rotation, scaling and shearing.

Objects are drawn relative to their local coordinate system. The origin is by default located at the top left corner of Image and Canvas objects. All scaling, shearing, and rotation arguments transform the object relative to that point.

It's possible to rotate an object about, for example, its center by offsetting the origin to the center. Angles must be given in radians for rotation. One can also use negative scaling factors to flip the object about its origin.

Note that the offsets are applied before rotation, scaling, or shearing; scaling and shearing are applied before rotation.

The right and bottom edges of the object are shifted at an angle defined by the shearing factors.

When using the default shader anything drawn with this function will be tinted according to the currently selected color. Set it to pure white to preserve the object's original colors.

Examples

Draw an image (the Hamster Ball) at 100 by 100 pixels

end
function love.draw()
	local width  = hamster:getWidth()
	local height = hamster:getHeight()
	local angle  = love.timer.getTime() * 2*math.pi / 2.5 -- Rotate one turn per 2.5 seconds.

end

Available since LÖVE 0.9.0

This functionality is not supported in earlier versions.

function love.load()
	hamster      = love.graphics.newImage("hamster.png")
	local width  = hamster:getWidth()
	local height = hamster:getHeight()
	quad         = love.graphics.newQuad(0,0, width,height/2, width,height)
end
function love.draw()
	love.graphics.draw(hamster,quad, 100,100)
end

Draw the flying rocket directed to the mouse pointer

function love.load()
	local image = love.graphics.newImage ('rocket.png')
	Rocket ={x=200,y=200,angle=0,image=image,ox=image:getWidth()/2,oy=image:getHeight()/2}
end
function love.update(dt)
	local mx, my = love.mouse.getPosition()
	local dx, dy = mx-Rocket.x, my-Rocket.y
	Rocket.angle = math.atan2 (dy, dx)
	Rocket.x = Rocket.x + dt*dx
	Rocket.y = Rocket.y + dt*dy
end
function love.draw()
	love.graphics.draw (Rocket.image, Rocket.x, Rocket.y, Rocket.angle, 1, 1, Rocket.ox, Rocket.oy)
end

-Draws objects on screen. Drawable objects are [[Image|loaded images]], but may be other kinds of [[Drawable]] objects, such as a [[ParticleSystem]].
+Draws a [[Drawable]] object (an [[Image]], [[Canvas]], [[SpriteBatch]], [[ParticleSystem]], [[Mesh]], [[Text]] object, or [[Video]]) on the screen with optional rotation, scaling and shearing.
-In addition to simple drawing, the draw() function can rotate and scale the object at the same time, as well as offset the image (for example, to center the image at the chosen coordinates).
+Objects are drawn relative to their local coordinate system. The origin is by default located at the top left corner of [[Image]] and [[Canvas]] objects. All scaling, shearing, and rotation arguments transform the object relative to that point.
-love.graphics.draw() anchors from the top left corner by default.
+It's possible to rotate an object about, for example, its center by offsetting the origin to the center. Angles must be given in radians for rotation. One can also use negative scaling factors to flip the object about its origin.
-You can specify a negative value for sx or sy to flip the drawable horizontally or vertically.
+Note that the offsets are applied before rotation, scaling, or shearing; scaling and shearing are applied before rotation.
-The pivotal point is (x, y) on the screen and (ox, oy) in the internal coordinate system of the drawable object, before rotation and scaling. The object is scaled by (sx, sy), then rotated by r around the pivotal point.
+The right and bottom edges of the object are shifted at an angle defined by the shearing factors.
-The default [[ColorMode]] blends the current drawing color into the image, so you will often want to invoke [[love.graphics.setColorMode]]("replace") before drawing images, to ensure that the drawn image matches the source image file.
+When using the default shader anything drawn with this function will be tinted according to the currently selected color. Set it to pure white to preserve the object's original colors.
-The origin offset values are most often used to shift the images up and left by half of its height and width, so that (effectively) the specified x and y coordinates are where the center of the image will end up.
