Getting current position of the point
« on: February 02, 2011, 10:10:04 pm »
there is function
Code: [Select]
Polygon.GetPointPosition(i)

but it only returns posiotion which was defined at the creating shape.

i wanna get actual position of points that is actualy rendered on the screen (shape was moved, rotated, scaled etc. and i wanna know where exactly is my point on the screen)

as far as I found there is
Code: [Select]
const Matrix3& GetMatrix() const;
and it probably contains what I want, but this function is protected

any solution?

The points are still right, but relative to the Shape Position, i think you could do it easy calculating yourself

Not sure if there is any other way : )

I can calculate them, but it will be wasting time, because positions have been already calculated (they are rendered at this positions)

They are calculated by opengl every draw using the transform matrix for the vertex set.
