Rethink Mask API for Display Objects

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

I request a more useful implementation of masking in Corona. The following is what I’d like to be able to do.

  1. apply any display object as a mask, to any other display object.
  2. any area of the display object NOT covered by the mask is made invisible.
  3. mask greyscale values set the alpha value for visible areas of the display object
  4. apply multiple masks to a display object
  5. maintain the complete display object API for display objects designated as masks. Not a subset of methods/properties such as “maskX”, and “maskScaleX”
