love.window.updateMode

Available since LÖVE 0.11.0
This function is not supported in earlier versions.


Sets the display mode and properties of the window, without modifying unspecified properties.

If width or height is 0, updateMode will use the width and height of the desktop.

Changing the display mode may have side effects: for example, canvases will be cleared. Make sure to save the contents of canvases beforehand or re-draw to them afterward if you need to.

Notes

If fullscreen is enabled and the width or height is not supported (see love.window.getFullscreenModes), the window may be resized to the closest available resolution and a resize event will be triggered.

If the fullscreen type is "desktop", then the window will be automatically resized to the desktop resolution.

Transparent backgrounds are currently not supported.
