Creating a new image from a portion of an existing image

[tomshreds]

Hi!

I'm trying to create a new image object, from an existing image. I'd like to get only the face of my character's spritesheet and have it as an image object in the memory to use where I want to.

The reason I can't use quads and drawq to achieve so is that I use LöveFrames for my game's UI and it only accept image objects or path.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have you tried set/get Scissor?

You sure can, using ImageData and the paste method.

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	source = love.image.newImageData('image.png')

	width = 100
	height = 200
	target = love.image.newImageData(width, height)

	dx = 0   -- Destination x
	dy = 0   -- Destination y
	sx = 100 -- Source x
	sy = 0   -- Source y
	sw = 100 -- Source width
	sh = 200 -- Source height
	target:paste(source, dx, dy, sx, sy, sw, sh)

	image = love.graphics.newImage(target)
end

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.draw(image, 10, 10)
end

Wow!
Had to give it a try (just some non-sense).
Thanks Santos.

wow thanks! it works! :-)
