Let's get the Line Append Bug Fixed! -Video-

Here is the video: http://www.screenr.com/bMg8

Like many others, we have noticed that the Line Append API is broken and has not been fixed. Would anyone else like to see this fixed? Personally I really need this fixed for the success of my game. The issue happens once you append a line in the oposite direction you have just drew it. Experiment for yourself…

I’ve hit the same thing recently as well (reproduced as with display object xxx.

xxx = display.newLine(100, 100, 300, 100)
xxx:append(200, 100) – backtracks over previous segment
xxx:append(200, 200)
xxx:setColor(255, 0, 0)
xxx.width = 5

Also, another weird problems is shown by yyy.

yyy = display.newLine(100, 300, 300, 301)
yyy:append(200, 300) – sorta-backtracks over previous segment
yyy:append(200, 400)
yyy:setColor(0, 255, 0)
yyy.width = 5

+1 we need line drawing to be good. it looks fine with circles and not using line:append, but performance is a lot slower [import]uid: 22829 topic_id: 25105 reply_id: 103827[/import]

anyone run into this one? drawing a vertical line with x=0 - results in nothing visible

zz0 = display.newLine(0, 0, 0, 100)
zz0:setColor(255, 0, 0)

doing the same thing with a newRect give the desired result:

zz1 = display.newRect(0, 100, 1, 100)
zz1:setFillColor(255, 0, 0)

We have all run into those bugs you have been mentioned above! [import]uid: 29181 topic_id: 25105 reply_id: 103942[/import]

is there any upcoming plan to fix these line drawing problems? [import]uid: 138193 topic_id: 25105 reply_id: 105830[/import]
