Sprite:setBlendMode

Available since: Gideros 2011.6
Class: Sprite

Description

Sets the blend mode of the sprite. This method can be called with 1 or 2 parameters. If one parameter is passed it must be one of the following blending modes:

• Sprite.ALPHA = "alpha"


• Sprite.NO_ALPHA = "noAlpha"


• Sprite.ADD = "add"


• Sprite.MULTIPLY = "multiply"


• Sprite.SCREEN = "screen"

If a Sprite object doesn't set any blending mode, it takes the blending mode from its parent sprite.

• *Note:** The following two lines are completely same:

<code><br />
	sprite:setBlendMode("add")<br />
	sprite:setBlendMode(Sprite.ADD)<br />
</code>

It's a matter of taste which one to choose.


If two parameters are passed to this method, then a source and destination blend can be set (in that order) and each take the values:

• Sprite.ZERO = "zero"


• Sprite.ONE = "one"


• Sprite.SRC_COLOR = "srcColor"


• Sprite.ONE_MINUS_SRC_COLOR = "oneMinusSrcColor"


• Sprite.DST_COLOR = "dstColor"


• Sprite.ONE_MINUS_DST_COLOR = "oneMinusDstColor"


• Sprite.SRC_ALPHA = "srcAlpha"


• Sprite.ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA = "oneMinusSrcAlpha"


• Sprite.DST_ALPHA = "dstAlpha"


• Sprite.ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA = "oneMinusDstAlpha"


• Sprite.SRC_ALPHA_SATURATE = "srcAlphaSaturate"

 Sprite:setBlendMode(blendMode or src,dst)

Parameters

blendMode or src: (String) If one parameter is used, this is the blend mode. If two parameters are used this is the source blend specification.
dst: (string) Destination blend mode optional
