Haxe

i'm not sure it would be easy 🤔 I guess haxeui-ceramic could just start off with elements that have rounded corners can only support solid colours

I think Ceramic desperately need a rounded rect visual, you are the second person needing it in a week 😄

But basically RoundedRect would be a mesh subclass (like Arc or Line)

And you would be able to create a gradient by setting the right color on every vertices

would that work? how so? each corner arc is composed of its own visual

ohh.. hmm maybe there's a way to remake this so its less compartmented

<@385014891750096896> does it have to be separated into multiple parts?

haxeui does allow a user to set color on "sides"

and it does allow each corner to have its own radius

And how do you currently render those borders?

ooh, memory might not be 100% here but its something like each border is its own line, background is its own visual and they're all grouped into a single visual

If the line is just straight and either vertical or horizontal, it's better to simply use a quad

(with border radius, that's another story...)

ahh, i'll switch that out at some point then

i thought quad would be over engineered for a line 😆

Ah ah quite the opposite. A quad is pretty lightweight compared to a line object

A line object is actually a mesh with a lot of vertices if you start to draw curves etc...

it doesnt _have_ to be... rounded, composite borders are kinda optional... in the sense they are used pretty sparingly, it sounds like it would be quite the job to support them?

it might be yeah, just trying to find areas that don't work and see if i can sort them out

if i had to give an importance to anything, it would be the blurred text in any scrollview vs corner radius'

for borders, you can just do something like:

```haxe
switch (style.borderType) {
    case StyleBorderType.Compound:
        // means you will ignore border radius
    case StyleBorderType.Full:
        // means you can use border radius
    case StyleBorderType.None:
       // doesnt matter
}
```

ooo nice, do i have to render no radius in `None` or is this prop only for borders with radius'?

well, technically yeah, you can have a component that doesnt have a border, but does have border-radius set

it's often funny how seemingly "small" things have some fun complications to them 😄

compound rounded borders with gradients is like the holy grail of haxeui backends... alot dont support them

yeah, i can see my self using them now and then
