love.graphics.shear

love.graphics.shear

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

Shears the coordinate system.

In version 0.9.2, a bug caused this function to reset all transformations. It was fixed in 0.10.0. A workaround for 0.9.2 would be to use a combination of rotating and scaling to imitate shearing.
