Saving Images?

[zipperipper]

Hello, i was wondering if there is a way to save images via love.image or love.filesystem?
Ive attempted it but haven't found a successful way.
Is there a way in 0.6.2? if not could there be in one of the next updates(like love.image.save(image/imagedata))?

If you have image data you can encode it using love.image.newEncodedImageData, which you can then use to write to a file.

right, and how do i get the string to write to the file?

Using the love.filesystem functions.

[vrld]

or this:

Code: Select all

pixels = ImageData:getString( )

That would be raw.. don't think you want that.

an example maybe please?

Code: Select all

hi = love.image.newImageData("hi.png")
hello = love.image.newEncodedImageData(hi, "tga")
love.filesystem.write("hello.tga", hello)

Will convert hi.png to TGA and write it to hello.tga.
