trouble with curveVertex shapes
Dec 13th, 2008, 4:25pm  
Somehow I just can't seemed to get this right. I'm drawing a simple shape using curveVertex, which vaguely resembles a rounded rectangle (not trying to create a perfect rounded rectangle). But no matter what kind of shape I try, the last line the curveVertex function draws is always in a straigt line instead of a nice curved line. Does anyone know why this is?

Here is a simple curveVertex shape. As you can see, the last line (which is drawn on the top left). Is a perfect straight.

 beginShape();
 curveVertex(100,  200);
 curveVertex(100,  100);
 curveVertex(200,  100);
 curveVertex(200,  200);
 curveVertex(100,  200);
 curveVertex(90,   120);
 curveVertex(100,  100);
 endShape();

If you draw with default settings, like:
Code:
void setup()
{
  size(300, 300);
  smooth();
  noLoop();
  beginShape();
  curveVertex(100,  200);
  curveVertex(100,  100);
  curveVertex(200,  100);
  curveVertex(200,  200);
  curveVertex(100,  200);
  curveVertex(90,   120);
  curveVertex(100,  100);
  endShape(); 
}

you would see immediately the issue: you didn't closed the shape. You can do that with endShape(CLOSE); but obviously it is still a straight line.
I am not too sure how to finish it properly, I prefer to use bezierVertex over curveVertex... Smiley
