love.graphics.draw

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

The object is drawn with its top-left corner at the given position on the screen, minus the offset.

Rotation is given in radians, which can be converted to from degrees using Lua's math.rad function.

The width and height of the object are multiplied by the scaling factors. A negative scaling factor will result in the drawing being flipped.

The origin is a point relative to the object, where the object is positioned, scaled, and rotated from. For example, with an origin point at half the object's width and height it can be rotated around its center.

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

Examples

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

function love.load()
   hamster = love.graphics.newImage("hamster.png")
end
function love.draw()
   love.graphics.draw(hamster, 100, 100)
end

Draw an image (the Hamster Ball) from the center at 100 by 100 pixels, rotated by 90 degrees

function love.load()
   hamster = love.graphics.newImage("hamster.png")
   width = hamster:getWidth()
   height = hamster:getHeight()
end
function love.draw()
   love.graphics.draw(hamster, 100, 100, math.rad(90), 1, 1, width / 2, height / 2)
end
