Get all objects draw on screen

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi, is there any way to retrieve all objects draw on screen (Displays, native and widgets)? Suppose I do not know what have been draw, and want to retrieve it, to get its properties, for example. How I would do that?

Thanks.

If everything is inserted into a display group, you can iterate over the group’s table of children entries.

Hi Rob, let me explain what I’m planning to do. It is a automated user interface test, as I do not know who called it and what he draw on screen, I was thinking in get a reference to all object draw directly from screen. Thnx

The screen is just an output for openGL draw calls so you can’t loop it to see what is there.
