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.

Syntax

bool dxSetBlendMode ( string blendMode )

Required Arguments

  • blendMode : The blend mode to use which can be one of:
    • 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.
ADDED/UPDATED IN VERSION 1.3.0 r4425:
    • overwrite : The source textures are overwritten. This can be useful for clearing render targets.
