Graphics compatibility mode?

Solar2D Advanced Graphics
#1

If enabled, is it additive, enabling you to use both old and new APIs, or exclusive, requiring a choice between graphics 1.0 and 2.0?

#2

We encourage users to use the new api’s wherever possible. Several of the api changes require different constructs for positioning display objects and several older api’s are being deprecated.   With that said, the compatibility mode does still let you take advantage of several new graphics 2.0 features. 

Here is a link to the migration guide for your reference.

#3

I’ll add the caveat that if you attempt to use 2.0 features in 1.0 compatibility mode, your mileage will vary :slight_smile: Our top priorities are G2.0 mode followed by pre-existing APIs used in 1.0 compatibility mode.
