lovr.graphics.tock

Stops a named timer on the GPU, previously started with lovr.graphics.tick.

time = lovr.graphics.tock(label)

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
label	string	The name of the timer.

Returns

Name	Type	Description
time	number	The number of seconds elapsed, or nil if the data isn't ready yet.

Notes

All drawing commands between tick and tock will be timed. It is not possible to nest calls to tick and tock.

The results are delayed, and might be nil for the first few frames. This function returns the most recent available timer value.

GPU timers are not supported on all systems. Check the timers feature using lovr.graphics.getFeatures to see if it is supported on the current system.

Example

function lovr.draw()
  lovr.graphics.tick('tim')

  -- Draw a bunch of cubes
  for x = -4, 4 do
    for y = -4, 4 do
      for z = -4, 4 do
        lovr.graphics.cube('fill', x, y, z, .2)
      end
    end
  end

  print('it took ' .. (lovr.graphics.tock('tim') or 0) .. ' seconds')
end
