Title: Problem with diagonal lines
Post by: Dominator on November 14, 2009, 02:27:24 am

Hi!

I'm using the latest SFML2-SVN with C# and encountered a problem when I tried to draw diagonal lines with Shape.Line().

It won't show the line when the thickness is set to 1.0f.
When I set it to 2.0f it's shown, but - like expected - double the size.

I tried to find a value that resembles 1.0f thickness, but it varies with the position and angle, so there is no safe way to get the right thickness.

If I for example want to draw a line from the upper left to the lower right corner of a 200x50 px rectangle, the line will look alright starting from a value of 1.03077f.

Interesting... I'll look into this issue as soon as possible.

Any progress so far?

Yes. This is caused by the little piece of code that fixes rendering artifacts by rounding points coordinates. If you want a quick and dirty fix, I can tell you how to disable it.

I still haven't found a good and clean solution for this.

What kind of artifacts does it fix?
Is my program affected if I only use 2D stuff like Shape and String2D?

Do you think you can get this fixed in the near future?
Anyway, please tell me how to disable it.

A lot, actually :)
It fixes all the unwanted pixels that may appear when a texel is not exactly mapped to a single pixel of the window.

Probably not.

I have no idea how, but anyway I have no choice, this bug must be fixed ;)

In SFML (C++) source code, comment the lines 232 / 233 / 234 / 235 of the file src/SFML/Graphics/RenderQueue.cpp. Then recompiler everything (SFML, CSFML, SFML.Net).

Thanks! I can't see any artifacts (yet :wink: ) in my program, so it seems to work fine for me.
