Hi,
I have read somewhere that there is a big update with vector drawing features down the road (or am I mistaken? If not, is there an ETA?).
I’m currently a bit stuck with my interface since I need to draw some circular bars. An image says more than a thousand words so I kindly stole this somewhere through Google: http://nikita.melnichenko.name/projects/plasmoid-make-progress/screenshot-popup-menu.png
A perfect option: drawCircle(x,y,radius, innerRadius, angle) - where innerRadius would be the “cut out” in the center to make a circle “outline” and the angle is amount of degrees it is “filled”. e.g: (0,0,100,50,270) would result in a circle at 0,0 of radius 100 with a radius 50 circle cut out and a 90 degree “pie chunk” out of it.
Next best thing: the same without the inner radius. This option alone would enable MANY options with charting libraries and stuff. The pie chart is still a very important one to be able to draw imho.
At the very least then…: native quadratic bezier curve support to manually draw circle segments but… please… no.
Would love to hear your feedback on this. If I’m overlooking an option with the current build, do let me know. (Some might suggest using Carlos’ bezier code but I think its bicubic and frankly, I prefer to steer away from that road if at all possible)
Kind regards,
