hi all,
i tried to add (draw-line), since this function has been requested by
some of us for a long time.
example:
(define (render)
(draw-line (vector 0 0 0) (vector 2 1 0)))
(every-frame (render))
the changes are committed to git.
since it's a bit different from other immediate mode primitives, i am
curious if it's implemented properly. it has two parameters for the two
endpoints, so it cannot work as other static primitives do in
Engine.cpp, because if we change the endpoint of one line it would
change it for all lines if it was a static primitive. instead i'm
creating a new RibbonPrimitive on each (draw-line) call and set a flag
in the immediate mode primitive list that this primitive should be
destroyed after each frame is drawn.
the other issue is that immediate mode primitives use the current state
not the primitive state. since the RibbonPrimitive is solid by default i
had to push a new state and set it directly to hint-wire.
does this sound the right way to do this? or does it awfully break the
concept of immediate mode primitives? comments are welcome.
best,
gabor
