Is gfx.setImageDrawMode() context aware?

I’m getting increasingly confused on whether playdate.graphics.setImageDrawMode(mode) is context aware or not. I have some code where:

1. Set mode to inverted at game start.
2. Set mode to copy at some point during the update loop - inside a context.
3. Later draw calls use the inverted draw mode.

I can also observe that:

1. Set mode to inverted at game start.
2. Set mode to copy at some point during the update loop - OUTSIDE a context.
3. Later draw calls use the COPY draw mode.

When trying to reproduce this in a simplified test, I see that playdate.graphics.setImageDrawMode(mode) is not content aware.

I don’t trust my simplified test enough (which is why I’m not sharing it), so I figured I’d simply ask:

  • Is playdate.graphics.setImageDrawMode(mode) context aware?
  • Can we improve the docs to make this clear?
