lovr.graphics

Edit

The graphics module renders graphics and performs computation using the GPU.

Most of the graphics functions are on the Pass object.

Objects

lovr.graphics.compileShader	Compile shader code to bytecode.
lovr.graphics.getBuffer	Get a temporary Buffer.
lovr.graphics.getDefaultFont	Get the default Font.
lovr.graphics.getPass	Get a temporary Pass.
lovr.graphics.getWindowPass	Get the window pass.
lovr.graphics.newBuffer	Create a new Buffer.
lovr.graphics.newFont	Create a new Font.
lovr.graphics.newMaterial	Create a new Material.
lovr.graphics.newMesh	Create a new Mesh.
lovr.graphics.newModel	Create a new Model.
lovr.graphics.newPass	Create a new Pass.
lovr.graphics.newSampler	Create a new Sampler.
lovr.graphics.newShader	Create a new Shader.
lovr.graphics.newTexture	Create a new Texture.
lovr.graphics.newTextureView	Create a texture view.

Global State

lovr.graphics.getBackgroundColor	Get the background color.
lovr.graphics.isTimingEnabled	Check if timing stats are enabled.
lovr.graphics.setBackgroundColor	Set the background color.
lovr.graphics.setTimingEnabled	Enable or disable timing stats.

Work Submission

The only way to get the GPU to do anything is to submit Pass objects to it. LÖVR submits the default pass automatically at the end of lovr.draw, but work can also be submitted manually.

lovr.graphics.present	Update the desktop window contents.
lovr.graphics.submit	Submit recorded graphics work to the GPU.
lovr.graphics.wait	Stall the CPU until all submitted GPU work is finished.

System Info

Information about the GPU hardware and the features it supports.

lovr.graphics.getDevice	Get information about the graphics device and driver.
lovr.graphics.getFeatures	Get the supported GPU features.
lovr.graphics.getLimits	Get the limits of the current GPU.
lovr.graphics.isFormatSupported	Check if a Texture format is supported.
