beginShape(LINE_STRIP)

Having an issue that I cannot wrap my head around. http://www.flight404.com/p5/radial_0/ The problem in question is that the strokes should get darker the further away they get from the center of the spikeBall. Code: beginShape(LINE_STRIP); // set color for first point to be white stroke(255); // set position of first point to be the center of the 3D space vertex(0,0,0); // set color for the last point to be black stroke(0); // set position of last point to be a specific distance from the center vertex(0,0,50); endShape(); |
| For some reason, if the line exists to the left of center, the stroke inverts somehow. Might it be a facet of the beginCamera() code that I am not aware of? I searched around but couldn't find any relevant posts. Thoughts?

Not sure how you're drawing code works - one too many layers of misdirection for a Sunday night Have you managed to reproduce that problem with more minimal code? What does your camera code do to this? Code: int NUM_SPOKES = 36; float SPIKE_LENGTH = 125.0; void setup() { size(400,300); } void loop() { background(0); translate(width/2,height/2); rotateY(TWO_PI*mouseX/width); rotateZ(TWO_PI*mouseY/height); for (int i = 0; i < NUM_SPOKES; i++) { push(); rotateX(i*TWO_PI/NUM_SPOKES); beginShape(LINE_STRIP); stroke(0); vertex(0,0,0); stroke(255); vertex(0,0,SPIKE_LENGTH); endShape(); pop(); } } |
| (edited code to make the method similar to the original)

Same result. The lines to the left of center seem to draw from the outside->in and the others, inside->out. Is there some rule that beginShape() draws from the left to the right? I can't imagine that would be the case. Should this be filed as a bug is the question.

pasted TomC's simplified test-case into version 0066 (the highest installed on my machine) and it behaves as intended (all the rays are darker towards the center of the round) robert: which version do you use?

I am on v69. OSX 10.3.1. UPDATE---------------- Here is what I see when I paste Tom's code directly into v69 Processing without using the camera method (which I guess isn't part of the problem). http://www.flight404.com/p5/radialProblem.gif
