GraphicsFeature

Available since LÖVE 0.8.0
This enum is not supported in earlier versions.

Graphics features that can be checked for with love.graphics.getSupported.

Constants

clampzero Available since 0.10.0: Whether the "clampzero" WrapMode is supported.
lighten Available since 0.10.0: Whether the "lighten" and "darken" BlendModes are supported.
multicanvasformats Available since 0.10.0: Whether multiple Canvases with different formats can be used in the same love.graphics.setCanvas call.

Notes

clampzero is supported on all desktop systems, but only some mobile devices. If it's not supported and it's attempted to be set, the "clamp" wrap mode will automatically be used instead.

lighten is supported on all desktop systems, and OpenGL ES 3-capable mobile devices.

multicanvasformats is supported on OpenGL 3-capable desktop systems, and OpenGL ES 3-capable mobile devices.

canvas Removed in 0.10.0: Support for Canvas.
npot Removed in 0.10.0: Support for textures with non-power-of-two sizes. See PO2 Syndrome.
subtractive Removed in 0.10.0: Support for the subtractive blend mode.

shader Available since 0.9.0 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0: Support for Shaders.
hdrcanvas Available since 0.9.0 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0: Support for HDR Canvases. Use love.graphics.getCanvasFormats instead.
multicanvas Available since 0.9.0 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0: Support for simultaneous rendering to at least 4 canvases at once, with love.graphics.setCanvas. Use love.graphics.getSystemLimits instead.
mipmap Available since 0.9.0 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0: Support for Mipmaps.
dxt Available since 0.9.0 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0: Support for DXT compressed images (see CompressedFormat.) Use love.graphics.getCompressedImageFormats instead.
bc5 Available since 0.9.0 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0: Support for BC4 and BC5 compressed images. Use love.graphics.getCompressedImageFormats instead.

Use love.graphics.isGammaCorrect or love.graphics.getCanvasFormats instead

srgb Available since 0.9.1 and removed in LÖVE 0.10.0: Support for gamma-correct rendering with the srgb window flag in love.window.setMode, and the "srgb" TextureFormat for Canvases and Images.

pixeleffect Removed in 0.9.0: Support for PixelEffects.

Notes

Canvases, Shaders, mipmaps, npot textures, and the subtract BlendMode are always supported in version 0.10.0 and newer (due to its system requirements.)

For previous versions:

subtractive, mipmap, and dxt are supported on nearly every system.

canvas, multicanvas, npot, and shader have roughly the same minimum requirements for support: a DirectX 9.0c+ capable graphics card with drivers that support ~OpenGL 2.1+.

hdrcanvas, bc5, and srgb all share mostly the same minimum requirements for support as well: a DirectX 10+ capable graphics card with drivers that support ~OpenGL 3+.

DirectX 9.0c+ capable graphics cards include the nvidia GeForce 5000-series (2003) and newer, the ATI Radeon 9000-series and newer, and the Intel GMA x3100 GPU and newer.

DirectX 10+ capable graphics cards include the nvidia GeForce 8000-series (2006) and newer, the ATI/AMD HD 2000-series and newer, and the Intel HD 2000/3000 GPUs and newer.
