Effects to newText() ?

Audio and Graphics
#1

Hello guys.

Is there any way to apply effects like blur on display.newText ? 

Option with display.capture not suitable because text will be physical object and captured object is not smooth when rotating.

Thanks

Yay for snapshots:

local text = display.newText({ text = "Can I borrow your space pencil?", font = "Menlo", fontSize = 13 }) text:setFillColor(1, 1, 0) local snapshot = display.newSnapshot(text.width \* 1.5, text.height \* 1.5) snapshot.group:insert(text) snapshot.x, snapshot.y = display.contentCenterX, display.contentCenterY snapshot:invalidate() snapshot.fill.effect = "filter.blurGaussian" snapshot.fill.effect.horizontal.blurSize = 2 snapshot.fill.effect.horizontal.sigma = 140 snapshot.fill.effect.vertical.blurSize = 2 snapshot.fill.effect.vertical.sigma = 140
