Hello,

Didnt know if I posted in the wrong category.

This is more of a theoretical question, I will try to explain what I want to achieve.

First of all I want to create polygons in 2D with 3D effects, gradients and shadows. I dont know what library to use for drawing these shapes, like squares, rectangles, arrows and so on. Do I have to refer to a 3D environment or can I stick with 2D, please advice

Then I want to take this polygon an use it like an image, move it (x,y) and zoom in and out. Since it should be vector graphics zooming wont reduce quality hopefully. Is the best way to put the polygon in a view and resize the view:?:
In the future there will be alot more than one polygon in the view.

Regards
/Robert

Hi, thanks for the reply.
Yeah that solves the drawing of shapes part, the problem for me persists though since I want to be able to handle text and images in the same way with zooming and moving. I come from the flash world where this was very simple, you just add whatever you want to the scene and then you can zoom in any way you want and Flash calculates everything for you. It seems as this type of library doesnt exist yet for Android. However I found this type of functions in the webview but that view isnt really meant for what I am trying to achieve in the long run.

I have been looking at 3D engines aswell but its too much hassle and also cause its not a standard.

Ill keep on looking!
