Ellipses with scale()
« on: May 4th, 2004, 2:36pm »

Note: Very minor bug. Easily workaroundable.
 
Ellipses are drawn as polygons, and the no. of sides required depends on the size. But the scale() factor is ignored.
 
So if you do "scale(100,100); ellipse(x,y, 0.5,0.5)" you get a big 50-pixel hexagon.

Oh, I should have said: v0068.
Maybe it's fixed in 69... If it is, sorry for a useless bug report.

I saw this thread a long time ago and kept forgetting to link to it... http://processing.org/discourse/yabb/board_Syntax_action_displa_y_num_1084652597.html
 
Basically, the no. of sides of an ellipse in 3D should (ideally) also take into account how near it is to the camera, as well as the scale factor.
 
I don't know if this is even possible to implement, though...

yup, it's on the list.. just one of those things to deal with. looks like that other post should be moved over to bugs here as well.
