I can draw triangles, but not filled triangles.

Howdy,
I'm able to draw triangles using the drawVerticies call, but I can't seem to get them to fill. Can any of you throw me a hint?

Here's what I'm doing...

Using java Syntax Highlighting

  //Early on, I create my blue paint and set the style to 'FILL'
 
  Paint pBlue = new Paint();
 
  pBlue.setColor(android.graphics.Color.BLUE);
 
  pBlue.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);
 
  //in my view's onDraw function...
 
 {
 
...
 
  canvas.drawCircle(250, 370, 30, pBlue);    
 
   float [] points  = new float[8];
 
      points[0] = 10;
 
      points[1] = 10;
 
      points[2] = 100;
 
      points[3] = 10;   
 
      points[4] = 50;
 
      points[5] = 100;
 
      points[6] = 10;
 
      points[7] = 10;
 
      canvas.drawVertices(VertexMode.TRIANGLES, 8, points, 0, null, 0, null, 0, null, 0, 0, pBlue);
 
...
 
}

What happens is I get a filled circle (which is good).
But then the triangle draws just as a wireframe. It is not filled in. (which is bad)

I also tried leaving out the last point (10,10) which was an attempt to 'close' the triangle. In that case I use 6 as the second param to drawVertices. It still draws the same triangle and doesn't fill it.

So, it appears that 'FILL' works when doing rects or circles, but not for drawVertices. Is that expected, or am I doing this wrong?

Your wisdom is much appriciated. :-)

Hello doma,

i've not been working with [font=Courier New]canvas.drawVertices[/font], but I can say that canvas.drawPath works really fine and it supports FILL.

Regards,

excellent!

I abandoned drawVertices and tried drawPath and it works great. My triangls are now filled in.

my new onDraw now contains this:

{
 
 ...
 
  Path path = new Path();
 
  path.moveTo(10,10);
 
  path.lineTo(100,10);
 
  path.lineTo(50,100);
 
  g.drawPath(path, p);
 
...
 
}

DrawVerticies does its own shading (just like when you use OpenGL). Except it's _really_ slow! See HERE for an example.

Hey plusminus, I want to draw line in different patterns(for Example:- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1420 ... 8_14209819) but I dont understand how can I do this. Can you suggest me some way by using that I can fulfill my requirement.

I can draw triangles, but not filled triangles.
