Setting filters

Solar2D Advanced Graphics
#1

The way filters are set is a bit confusing by setting the effect property to a string:

image.fill.effect = “filter.name”

Once this is set, image.fill.effect is not a string, but a user data object!

Then to set the filter parameter(s):

image.fill.effect.paramName = paramValue

This could be even more confusing or impossible if multiple filters (highly desired feature) are applied.

Something like this would be much simpler:

displayObj:setFilter(filterName, filterParams)

Also, is there a way to disable a filter effect or reset the image? I tried setting image.fill.effect to nil and empty string without success.

Done testing for all the filters and found some that are not working properly:

filter.contrast : Only see a white rect on the top-right.

filter.saturation : Same as above.

filter.linearGradient : even though the alpha channel is set to less than 100% or even 0%, there is no transparency in the gradient.

~

filter.monotone : Why aren’t the parameters set as vec4 like the other filters but need to specify r,g,b,a?

Thanks,
