03/03/2023, 10:58 AM@ambitious-knife-25690 Something you should be aware of when using filters is that antialiasing is disabled by default on content rendered on render textures - b

03/03/2023, 10:58 AM(maybe that's not really an issue as far as haxeui is concerned though) - b
billowy-waiter-28954
03/03/2023, 10:59 AMBut if you want to have the same antialiasing setting of the main screen - b

03/03/2023, 11:00 AM(of course antialiasing everywhere = performance penalty) - a

03/03/2023, 11:13 AMThanks for the tip! I think I'll expose that as a Toolkit option - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 6:53 PM@billowy-waiter-28954would you consider returning `true`/`false` or the index for this - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 6:53 PMbecause you catch the error i can't redirect it - a

03/03/2023, 6:53 PMforvisual.remove - b
billowy-waiter-28954
03/03/2023, 7:07 PMWhy do you need that info? You can always check if child.parent is the visual you want to call remove() on - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 7:11 PMHow do i know if i need to check a parent with a void return - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 7:12 PMthe application can't read console messages 😅 - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 7:14 PMoh, i see what you mean - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 7:14 PMlol - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 7:14 PMi just woke up from a nap 😅 - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 7:19 PMunless parent is null, but, i don't really know why pparent would be null - b
billowy-waiter-28954
03/03/2023, 11:34 PMparent is null if the visual has no parent - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 11:42 PMfrom haxeui's side this doesn't make sense because things are added to a visual or scene - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/03/2023, 11:42 PMso I'm a bit confused there - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/04/2023, 7:14 AMif a component has no parentComponent (ie, its null) then its top level... like ceramic - b
billowy-waiter-28954
03/04/2023, 9:28 AMI’m confused, I don’t really understand what’s the issue with add() method in Ceramic - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/04/2023, 9:29 AM¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/04/2023, 9:36 AMif there's no parentComponent I add to the scene - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/04/2023, 9:37 AMOK, i dont know the is and outs of the backend, im just saying that "parentComponent as null" is a thing, and it basically means its a root component (as i think cermics display tree means) - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/04/2023, 9:37 AMdoes that even make sense? I mean, where is this "if parentComponent == null" check? - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/04/2023, 9:39 AMin handleAddComponent - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/04/2023, 9:40 AMparentComponent should never be null in there, even if it is, its just an ordering thing... but handleAddComponent is called on the parent... so the child cant be a root component - b
bright-gpu-74537
03/04/2023, 9:41 AMScreen.instance.addComponent should be the call where you add it to the main scene (or wherever) - a
ambitious-knife-25690
03/04/2023, 9:43 AMhuh looks like I added that as well
