09/22/2022, 1:33 AMShapes is cool - r

09/22/2022, 1:33 AMI would mess with it, but it is $100 and unity only lmao - o
orange-van-60470
09/22/2022, 1:34 AMbut the aspects irrespective of the implementation detail is interesting. I have not used shapes, but do follow its author. - o

09/22/2022, 1:36 AMI mean like I recently implemented some dash dot lines on my engine and just looking at her dash line details it's interestingly complex.. what to try to offer - r

09/22/2022, 1:38 AMJust followed her - o

09/22/2022, 1:38 AMI once worked on videoscribe that had brushes so that was different again - r

09/22/2022, 1:40 AMcertainly i need to consider revising my polyline join enum to be more normal - o
orange-van-60470
09/22/2022, 1:40 AMWell I was opening the questions due to the recent haxe ui canvas release - o
orange-van-60470
09/22/2022, 1:41 AMwas curious on why he went with pixel approach - o
orange-van-60470
09/22/2022, 1:41 AMand api decisions - o
orange-van-60470
09/22/2022, 1:42 AManyway for another time late here - b

09/22/2022, 1:48 AMi just laughed because i imagined gpu accelerated haxeui-pdcurses - f

09/22/2022, 6:43 AMone time I made dashed lines in OpenGL and uhh - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 6:43 AMit wasn't good - b

09/22/2022, 6:46 AMits not always the pixel approach, you can draw circles, curves, etc... but really there is not real "haxeui impl"... it just gets passed off to the backed, for example, on haxeui-html5, its actually not a canvas, its an svg (since i think it looks nicer)... however, you can "flip" it to dom canvas with
(this is experimental so i think ill change this eventually ideally, it will happen automatically)componentGraphics.setProperty("html5.graphics.method", "canvas"); - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 6:47 AMthe reason for that is pretty simple, painting "pixels" using svg is almost impossble, i mean, you can create 1x1 rects, but that are insanely heavy, so things like this: - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 6:48 AMarent really feasible with any performance. Of course, you could create a gradient but a) thats not supported in canvas yet and b) im not sure that it would be support in all backends... pixels certainly is... - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 6:48 AMand actually, its not just gradients really, this too: - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 6:49 AMthat would have to be pixels, and again, drawing 90k (assuming 300x300 agif) 1x1 svg rects (each frame!) is just a no go - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 6:53 AMim not sure what you mean "over GPU drawing", on other backends pretty sure setpixels will be GPU accelerated, at least im 100% sure of that on heaps and raylib, not sure about openfl, but i would assume... yes? Maybe im wrong there, also, i think that it will all be GPU accelerate on html5 too, using either canvas or svg - f

09/22/2022, 7:12 AMyou have not seen the things I've seen done in libass - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:36 AMwell, its a limitation of the browser... you saying you have 90k svg shapes running at 60fps? - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:36 AM(and its a perfectly reasonable limitation) - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:38 AMI've seen fuck-your-cpu subtitling where someone did in fact import a bitmap into a subtitle file as a shitload of 1x1 rects - f

09/22/2022, 7:38 AMbefore there was electron apps, there were fansubbers - the original cpu wasters - f

09/22/2022, 7:39 AMI don't think it was ever released though because it did take the computer way to long to do it at 1080p24 - f

09/22/2022, 7:39 AMalso libass is all CPU
