Unigine::WidgetCanvas Class

Header: #include <UnigineWidgets.h>
Inherits from: Widget

This class enables to create a canvas on which lines, polygons, and text can be drawn. It performs clipping of the visible region while rendering.

Notice
A polygon can be a triangle, a rectangle, a pentagon, and so on: it can have any number of sides. For example, if you add 4 points to the canvas via the addPolygonPoint() function, the 4 sided polygon will be drawn.

By default, all polygons are 2-sided, meaning that both sides of the polygon are visible at the same time. If it is necessary to make only one of them visible, you can set the 2-sided flag to 0.

To increase performance, you can use point indices instead of point coordinates. See the following functions for more details:

Notice
  • To reset the ID counter when re-drawing the widget canvas don't forget to call the clear() method.
  • The widget canvas doesn't perform depth testing. So, you will have to implement depth testing by using functions that set the rendering order for lines and polygons.
