set the compositorType of stack to compositorType

# Examples

set the compositorType of this stack to "software"

put "none" into tCompositorType set the compositorType of this stack to tCompositorType

# Description

Use the compositorType property to specify which compositor is used when rendering your stack. Setting this property puts LiveCode into acceleratedRendering mode which offers performance benefits, particularly when animating.

>*Note:* Set the compositor properties in a preOpenStack or preOpenCard > handler - they are not persistent (not saved into the stackfile) but do carry through from card to card.
