compositorType

Type

property

Summary

Specifies which compositor is used when rendering a stack.

Syntax

set the compositorType of <stack> to <compositorType>

Description

Use the compositorType property to specify which compositor is used when rendering your stack. Setting this property puts LiveCode into accelerated rendering mode which offers performance benefits, particularly when animating.

note

Set the compositor properties in a preOpenStack or preOpenCard handler - they are not persistent (not saved into the stackfile) but do carry through from card to card.

Examples

set the compositorType of this stack to "software"

put "none" into tCompositorType
set the compositorType of this stack to tCompositorType
