Hi There,

I am trying to draw a line with width but when ever i give a third parameter to VI.line my lines are getting drawn from world center to the first point that i am providing in the VI.line could you let me know how to draw a line with width ?

Basically i want to draw a dotted line on terrain as user move mouse, so please suggest what is best method to achieve that in esenthel.

Thanks

I think it would be helpful to post the code regarding how you draw it.

also you mention width, as far as I know only 2D VI allows specifying width, basically what you are seeing is not center of world but center of screen.

what you could do probably is using PosToScreen, this way the world coordinates are converted to screen position and you still get to use width.

Here is the code I am currently using to draw the path. Okay so as you suggested width can only be used if we are drawing 2D lines over screenspace, fine so what would be a ideal solution to draw 3D lines with width?

One approach I can think of is to use rect and texture it with dotted line image. Is there any code available which does that.

<code>
if (ziggy_path.points.elms()) {
VI.color(YELLOW);

FREPA(ziggy_path.points)VI.dot(ziggy_path.points[i].pos);
VI.end();
VI.color(GREEN);
REP(ziggy_path.points.elms() - 1)VI.line(ziggy_path.points[i].pos, ziggy_path.points[i + 1].pos);
VI.end();
}
</code>

as I mentioned in my previous post,
you could use PosToScreen, other option is indeed to create code that draws them as rectangles,
I would just try drawing the lines converting the position to screen coordinate first.

That is basically solved my problem for now.

Thanks a ton.
