Starling graphics extension finally has line joint type implemented

hardcoremore

Hi Guys,

I have finally managed to fix starling graphics extension drawing api and implement all 3 joint types (Miter, Bevel and Round). I still need to fix one edge case when angle between lines is extremely sharp but all 3 joint types work correctly now.

Now starling graphics extension supports line drawing that is almost identical as one in flash graphics api plus you can use textures as fill.

This was so painful to implement I was working on it for two weeks 😀 But now it works great.

Here is the lib:
https://bitbucket.org/hardcoremore/starlinggraphicsextension/src/master/

And this is what I have implemented except for the arc joint type:

hardcoremore I tried to test out your changes but it seems it requires some missing classes that aren't included in the repository.

Awesome!

NICE!

Fantastic! Thanks a lot for your hard work!

hardcoremore

ChrisDS Yes, you are correct. I will include those as well. I created those meshes to extend from Starling Mesh so that automatic batching works.

hardcoremore These are still missing after 4 years, any plans to add them?

ChrisDS

Ah, well no rush. I was just curious to see it in action 😃

@hardcoremore Were those two files ever included in the repo?

hardcoremore

@inverse I have not yet uploaded those two files. I still didn't fix couple of issues with joint types but I plan to fix them. I can share these files with you if you want to use library.

hardcoremore No worries for now, I just commented out the sections with those two dependencies. Looking forward to the update!

Fancy2209 Time flies so fast 😃 Already 4 years passed. I have add this feature finally. But currently joint type is only working properly for color lines not for texture lines. If someone is willing to fix this for texture lines feel free to submit merge request 😃

Hi Guys,

I have managed to fix some more edge cases with starling graphics extension 🙂.

It here on this branch:
https://bitbucket.org/hardcoremore/starlinggraphicsextension/branch/fix-joint-thick-line-degenerate

I think now that all miter, bevel and round joint are very usable and stable for normal use cases 🙂.

Thanks
