  • h
    I'm switching it to the openfl backend
  • h
    yep works
  • h
    bruh
  • b
    so weirdly, its still something to do with that item renderer
  • b
    if i remove it then everything works as expected all the time
  • b
    ok, well, this is the "simplest" i can repro it down to...
  • b
    should be fixed now in latest core... was a nice find... simple fix, but nice find
  • b
    ive noticed some other niggly issues while playing with that test app, but dont think they are related to this issue
  • b
    hey sorry i put my thoughts on github only now. https://github.com/haxeui/haxeui-core/issues/108#issuecomment-921577830
  • h
    🎊
  • h
    also I'm still sticking to openfl because I like how it looks and now I'm used to it looking like that lol
  • b
    heh heh, fair enough, if you can switch easily - and have time - any chance you could pull latest haxeui-core and try with flixel anyway? Just to see if the issue has gone
  • h
    I'll double check in the morning
  • b
    Right, nice one, thanks - interesting points - still have no idea when ill get round to this though
  • b
    Yes but I have already recorded my thoughts about it :) Even if still a few have come to it. xD Basically if you take away the SVG for example you have the problem that you have to render SVGs first. HTML is no problem, but maybe just openfl, flixel and kha.
  • b
  • b
    okay xD
  • b
    yeah, tbh, in my head having the ability to render SVG across all backends - even if its fairly simplish svg - is kind of the "proof" that this feature is working - even if its just preliminary
  • b
    yeah, i already use that in haxeui-openfl to render svgs (optionally)
  • b
    The SVG idea came to me later but I also think that this could be a very good way. It would allow that you could also design a surface with the respective editing program as SVG and then load it into haxeui. I think this is also a better idea than the idea with the "Canvas".
  • b
    well, you'd need the canvas in order to render the svg presumably
  • b
    ie, currently in haxeui there is no cross framework way to say "draw a diagonal line"
  • b
    yes yes but in html you can just drop the svg. in the other targets, of course, you need a canvas. Which is then rather hidden behind the SVG. At the moment, it's just an idea. Maybe when I have time I'll have a look if I can establish a way to parse svgs and render them on all targets. But currently there is really little time.

  • b
    QT, html5, wxwidget suppots svg
  • b
    for sure, you could defo hook into the backend and render svgs... haxeui-html5 already supports them (because the browser does), haxeui-openfl / haxeui-nme supports them using the svg lib you linked above... however, if you have a canvas component then you could move the rendering in haxeui-core and all backends could support them (assuming it supports all drawing commands)... you could still use the backend native approach for better support, but it means that backends that dont support them "magically" could
  • b
    ie, its not just about svgs... thats a useful side effect, its also being able to "draw stuff" from core in a non backend specific way
  • b
    Currently, the HTML target generates HTML and does not draw on a canvas, does it? Therefore, I would split it there as well. An svg element and a canvas element. Basically, with an SVG element in the background, a canvas would be used with the SVG library. But if there is another better possibility, like it can be embedded directly in HTML or Qt SVG or or or. Then this implementation should be used.
  • b
    sure, there is no reason why you couldnt have an and a ... if the backend supports svg natively (or is better) then could use that native implmentation and if not could fall back to using a canvas - but again, the main focus of that enhancement isnt specifically for svg - its for drawing "stuff" from core that will work on all backends
  • o
    My library does simple SVG paths and would work on any GL target, I now have width working, already started creating option to use xml tags
