DxSetBlendMode: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 14:39, 1 February 2012

This function sets the current blend mode for the dxDraw functions. Changing the blend mode can increase the quality when drawing text or certain other images to a render target. As a general guide use modulate_add when drawing text to a render target, and add when drawing the render target to the screen. Don't forget to restore the default blend at the end.

- blend: The source textures are alpha blended to the screen/render target. The is the default mode for drawing and gives the results we all know and love.
- add: The source textures are added to the screen/render target.
- modulate_add: The source textures are multiplied by the alpha and then added to the screen/render target.
