roundrect: a fully functioning implementation

[Jasoco]

I wish we could draw ovals by way of extra parameters to the circle function. (X squish, Y squish and rotation)

Hmmm... Maybe use l.g.scale to distort circles to make them ovals?

It would be an option, but not the perfect one as it would also squish the pixels in the line of the oval and rotating would distort it and cause breaks. It'd be better to have one that works properly.

Yeah, you right. The theory makes sense but in practical terms small circles overgrowth with exaggerated scale probably wouldn't be nice to look. Wouldn't be so good as the real deal. A native oval function or circle improvement as you suggested would be welcomed for sure.

Gosh, you really skimmed my request post! That's why I'm here

But I was skimming for a roundrect

But I was skimming for a roundrect

a - If you don't mind a solid alpha solution just use for now my overlapping solution.
b - For something capable of alpha you could try imaginee something using polygons that should be robin's solution. I suck at math.
c - I checked message in the bottle solution. Technocat uses scissors! Clever. I need to learn how to "scissor" then.

Code: Select all

function MessageBottle:drawBackground()
  --draw background
  --self.bgAlpha
  --self.alpha
  love.graphics.pushState()
  local r,g,b,a = self.bgColor.r, self.bgColor.g, self.bgColor.b
  local a = self.bgAlpha * self.alpha
  local r = self.bgRadius
  local x,y = self.x, self.y
  local w,h = self.width, self.height
  local segments = self.bgRadiusSegments
  love.graphics.setColor(r,g,b,a)
  --center rectangle
  love.graphics.rectangle("fill",
      x, y,
      w, h)
  --top border
  love.graphics.rectangle("fill",
      x, y-r,
      w, r)
  -- right border
  love.graphics.rectangle("fill",
      x+w, y,
      r, h)
  --bottom border
  love.graphics.rectangle("fill",
      x, y+h,
      w, r)
  --left border
  love.graphics.rectangle("fill",
      x-r, y,
      r, h)
  --top left corner
  love.graphics.setScissor(
      x-r, y-r,
      r, r)
  love.graphics.circle("fill",
      x, y,
      r, segments)

Remember (if I'm right) that Linux users haven't yet a 0.8 version

0.8.0 hasn't been released at all. Any binary out there is of in-development code. You can compile it yourself on Linux if you need to.
