Examples

Loading an image

-- Load an image file
local imageData = love.image.newImageData("texture.png")
local image = love.graphics.newImage(imageData)

Creating image data

-- Create new image data
local width, height = 256, 256
local imageData = love.image.newImageData(width, height)

-- Modify pixel data
for y = 0, height-1 do
  for x = 0, width-1 do
    local r = x / width
    local g = y / height
    local b = 0.5
    imageData:setPixel(x, y, r, g, b, 1)
  end
end

-- Create image from data
local image = love.graphics.newImage(imageData)

Best practices

• Load images during initialization to avoid runtime delays
• Use appropriate image formats for different use cases
• Consider memory usage when working with large images
• Handle image loading errors gracefully
• Test image formats on target platforms

Platform compatibility

• Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux): Full image support
• Mobile (iOS, Android): Full support with some format limitations
• Web: Good support but some formats may not be available
