Framebuffer

Available since LÖVE 0.7.0

This type is not supported in earlier versions.

A Framebuffer is used for off-screen rendering. Think of it as an invisible screen that you can draw to, but that will not be visible until you draw it to the actual visible screen. It is also known as "render to texture".

It is tempting to think of a Framebuffer as a canvas, and though you can create one that is larger or smaller than the screen, it does not act like one, meaning you cannot draw things that lie outside of the window dimensions. Instead all content drawn to the buffer will be scaled according to framebuffer_width/screen_width in x-direction and framebuffer_height/screen_height in y-direction.
