Shape

Shapes are objects used to control mass and collisions.

Every shape is either a circle or a polygon, and is attached to a Body.

Create a new shape with love.physics.newCircleShape, love.physics.newPolygonShape or love.physics.newRectangleShape.

Functions

Shape:computeAABB	Returns the points of the bounding box for the transformed shape.
Shape:computeMass	Computes the mass properties for the shape.
Shape:destroy	Explicitly destroys the Shape.
Shape:getBody	Get the body the shape is attached to.
Shape:getBoundingBox	Gets the bounding box of the shape.
Shape:getCategory	Gets the categories this shape is a member of.
Shape:getCategoryBits	Gets the categories as a 16-bit integer.
Shape:getChildCount	Returns the number of children the shape has.
Shape:getData	Get the data set with setData.
Shape:getDensity	Gets the density of the Shape.
Shape:getFilterData	Gets the filter data of the Shape.
