When trying to design a module for adding a border glow effect, I realized that I could not paint an image on top of a snapshot. See borderglow_m.lua ~ln 32
The colorized girl should be on top of the fill effected boy via this module.
There’s a grayscale girl added to the base group for contrast in the upper left.
Why isn’t the colorized girl appearing on top of the snapshot?
Needed to add the snapshot to the group, then place it with
display.setDefault( “anchorX”, 0.5 )
display.setDefault( “anchorY”, 0.5 )
like so:
local snapshot = display.newSnapshot( hud, 800, 600)
snapshot.anchorX, snapshot.anchorY = .5, .5
local image = display.newImage(snapshot.group, toglowpath)
and it works as I would expect. Thx slack channel (coronadevelopers.slack.com)
