Transform

Available since LÖVE 11.0
This type is not supported in earlier versions.

Object containing a coordinate system transformation.

The love.graphics module has several functions and function variants which accept Transform objects.

Notes

Transform objects have a custom * (multiplication) operator. result = tA * tB is equivalent to result = tA:clone():apply(tB). It maps to the matrix multiplication operation that Transform:apply performs.

The * operator creates a new Transform object, so it is not recommended to use it heavily in per-frame code.
