having troubles while drawing a framecircle with jit.gl.sketch.

does anybody found a workaround for drawing framecircles with jit.gl.sketch ?

having troubles while drawing a framecircle with jit.gl.sketch.
my framecircle has unexpected edges.

i am a bit lost.

I 'm seeing the same. Not sure what's the cause. I was looking for jit.gl.sketch's equivalent of other gl object's @dim x y attribute but didn't find it.

If I understand your issue, here is some information. gl.sketch is using line segments to draw framecircle. By making the segment that is used to build circle smaller you can get smoother results. also please try @fsaa 4 in the jit.window. It will remove some edginess

first i want to thank all of you for looking into this problem !

can not use jit.gl.path, because i have to draw hundreds of framecircles.

Sets the current level of decimation (resolution) for shape drawing commands (circle, framecircle, ellipse, frameellipse, sphere, cylinder, torus, cube, and plane).

but the edges are still there. only the parts between the edges gets smoother.

perhaps someone from cycling74 can give a hint.

it would be nice, if i could get an answer soon.

i have to finish my project in 2 weeks ....

do not want to switch to openframeworks, because i like patching wit max :-)

it should be possible to draw a framecircle in opengl with max ;-)

@fsaa 4 did not help in this case.

but i found the shapeslice message.
seems to be the "dim" for framecircle.

the reference says:

patch attached.

i think this is is a bug

have you tried "antialias 1" message to "jit.gl.sketch" ?

hi
@lee
have you tried "antialias 1" message to "jit.gl.sketch"  ?


but "antialias 1" has not an influence on these edges.

no one from cyling74, who can help ?

Maybe you should send an email to C74 support.

Hi, I have patched this js
let me now if it can help you
bye


with this solution i will get a cmdlist in jit.gl.sketch of 10000.

its a shame, that we can not do this "out of the box" with jit.gl.sketch.

if its not working i will go the openframeforks route.

i did some tests. it is incredibly fast, looks fantastic, but it is hard to code ....

I got the following answer from the cycling support:

"It's the nature of rendering a frame circle.

You could make two solid circles and make one an alpha, that will yield a neater circle.

Alternatively a circle bought into jit.gl.model will also give a good result."

i woud say, that nature of rendering a frame circle has bugs !

i personaly prefere circles without edges ...

thank you very much for posting this.
i will give it a try.

perhaps these edges is  a feature :-)

it has nothing to do with jitter or max. it's opengl and gpu dependent.

you have been given several solutions (use @antialias 1, use jit.gl.path, use two circles overlayed with an alpha).

the framecircle is drawn with lines to create an outline of a circle (ie frame).

if you want thick lines you should not be using framecircle.

I changed a bit the arc.js and I'm playing with it

For framecircle i simply use a cylinder ...

Oh! This is exactly what I was looking for when I decided to write it in javascript.

Thank you for share it.


whow matmat, thats a great trick !
thanks for sharing :-)
