Mask whole stage?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

What to do with ui elements or particles or any other objects that leave, overlap the dimensions of the app? On different resolutions and screen sizes they will be visible. So is there a way how to mask the whole stage of an application?

Hi @fjofuzz,

The stage is a display group, so presumably you could mask the entire stage as shown under “Group Masking” in this guide:

http://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/media/imageMask/index.html

However, if you’re just trying to “mask” the screen bounds, that is not recommended. Instead, you should work out a proper content area and scale setting, as is explained in several tutorials/guides/videos and forum posts.

Best regards,

Brent
