fill.scaleX

Overview

Defines the x scale factor of the BitmapPaint image, for example, 1 equals 100%, 0.5 equals 50%, and 2 equals 200%.

Gotchas

When scaling a bitmap fill to span a display object of a different size (compared to the fill image), you may need to include a transparent border of 2 pixels around the fill image to prevent the outermost pixels from bleeding.

Example

-- Create a vector rectangle
local rect = display.newRect( 200, 200, 300, 300 )

-- Set the fill (paint) to use the bitmap image
local paint = {
    type = "image",
    filename = "texture1.png"
}

-- Fill the rectangle
rect.fill = paint

-- Scale the fill on the X axis
rect.fill.scaleX = 2
