Bug in FILLPOLY_P amd TRIANGLE_P (6975 and 7820) - slawek39 - 12-28-2014 04:50 PM

Figures drawn by FILLPOLY_P and TRIANGLE_P sometimes have the wrong shape. Their edge does not coincide with a line drawn by LINE_P using the same coordinates.

Thanks.

Stuck in the list. Not sure if this is due to using a slightly different line drawing method between the two or what. Seems like they should match though.

This error still occurs in (7820)

Hello,

Line uses Breshenam, fill poly (and triangle) uses division methods... This is what causes the disconnect.
I would like to fix it, but could never find the time.

The bug still actual FW 10637. Will it be corrected in next version?

I don't use FILLPOLY_P or TRIANGLE_P in my program AlmostBlockOut so is slightly slower than should.

Probably not, but probably in the one after that.

The bug still actual FW beta 12951 in virtual calculator for Windows.

But something has changed in FILLPOLY_P and behaves differently than before, but still not perfect.
