Show Part Of An Image?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have an image that is 1000 pixles tall. I would like to keep it this size, but only show 100 pixles of the 1000. I would assume there is way to do this but I can’t seem to find it.

#2

One way to do it is with a mask. Following is code used to set a mask on an image:

[lua]

    local mask = graphics.newMask(“100x100mask.png”)
    photo:setMask(mask)
[/lua]

There’s some rules about masks, so make sure to check the API docs.
