# (Image):setMipmapFilter

Available since LÖVE 0.9.0
This function is not supported in earlier versions.

Sets the mipmap filter mode for an Image.

Mipmapping is useful when drawing an image at a reduced scale. It can improve performance and reduce aliasing issues.

| Due to hardware restrictions and driver bugs, only images with power-of-two dimensions (64x64, 512x256, etc.) can have mipmap filtering enabled, unless the image was loaded from a CompressedData. |

## Function

Automatically creates mipmaps for the Image if none exist yet. If the image is compressed and its CompressedData has mipmap data included, it will use that.

### Synopsis

Image:setMipmapFilter( filtermode, sharpness )

### Arguments

`FilterMode filtermode`
  The filter mode to use in between mipmap levels. "nearest" will often give better performance.
`number sharpness (0)`
  A positive sharpness value makes the image use a more detailed mipmap level when drawing, at the expense of performance. A negative value does the reverse.

### Returns

Nothing.

## Function

Disables mipmap filtering.
