Constructor.

Class Image

Represents an image.

image:new ()

Constructor.

path : a string. Path to the image (filename in love2d).
quad : a table. It contains information about quads in the image. It has two fields:
- layout : a table of the form { rows = n, columns = m }, where n and m are positive integers.
- current : a positive integer. The current quad index. The quad index goes from left to right, top to bottom.

Default quad is

self.quad = {
  layout = {
    rows    = 1,
    columns = 1,
  },
  current = 1,
}

i.e. if not specified it is assumed there is only one quad in the image - the image itself. NOTE: the quads must

be of the same size.
not have spacing in between.
be placed in a grid quad.layout.rows by quad.layout.columns inside the image.

Provided you have an image at path/to/my/awesome/image.png that looks like this:

┌────────┬────────┐
│  ▚▞    │    ▞▚  │
│        │        │
│        │        │
├────────┼────────┤
│ ▞      │   ▞    │
│ ▚      │     ▞  │
│        │        │
└────────┴────────┘

the code

local image = ui.Image {
  path = 'path/to/my/awesome/image.png',
  quad = {
    layout = {
      rows    = 2,
      columns = 2,
    },
    current = 3,
  }
}

image:place(0, 0, 100, 100)
image:draw()

will draw:

┌────────┐
│ ▞      │
│ ▚      │
│        │
└────────┘
