Multiple Anchor points?

[Trakyan]

Not sure if the title was appropriate or not (as to if it would be considered an anchor point or not) but I was wondering about if something was possible with some API in corona.

What I was wondering is if I have a display object (say, a bar or a stick etc), could i put two anchor points (one at either end) and then move one and have the image stretched/rotated so that it fits to both the anchor points?

Thanks in advance!

On as side note, has anyone seen any packages/kits/tutorials relating to card games in corona including things like dealing with a players hand, the deck, the playing field etc.? If so I’d like to compare my methods with those currently out there, if not I might post my methods somewhere for others to use (might be helpful, might not, probably wont hurt anyone) if anyone’s interested.

Asking this because I couldnt find any when i started my project.

Nope.  Objects only have a single anchor point, defined by the fields anchorX and anchorY.

You can achieve stretching and rotating:

• Rotation: https://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/api/type/DisplayObject/rotation.html
• Scaled stretching:
  •  https://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/api/type/DisplayObject/xScale.html
  • https://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/api/type/DisplayObject/yScale.html
• Semi-Arbitrary Stretching: Explore the ‘path’ properties of newRect, which can be filled with an image if needed: https://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/api/library/display/newRect.html
