Problems with the new line drawing system in 0.8

[Arckanum]

I currently have some issues with the new line drawing system in 0.8. When i draw into a canvas with LineStyle("smooth") the lines just appear squashed. I dont know how to explain it, so i'm showing you some comparison images with rough and smooth setting of a coordinate system (nothing else is changed). My main problem with rough is that it doesnt really look well if you zoom out quite a bit. The edges are too sharp.

Code is really basic so far. Just drawing some lines. Scaling,fontsize and moving across the screen is managed elsewhere (isnt my problem anyway).

Code: Select all

GLS = 0.1

function love.draw()
	love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
        love.graphics.scale( 1.0, 1.0 )
	love.graphics.draw(fb,0,0)
end

function love.load()
	love.graphics.setBackgroundColor(255, 255, 255)
	love.graphics.setMode(600, 600, false, true, 0)
	fb = love.graphics.newCanvas( )
	fb:setWrap( "clamp", "clamp" )
	InitFB()
end

function InitFB()
	fb:clear()
	love.graphics.setCanvas(fb)
	love.graphics.translate( 300+Dx, 300+Dy )
	love.graphics.scale( scale, scale )
	love.graphics.setColor(0,0,0)
	love.graphics.setLineStyle( "rough" )

	love.graphics.setLineWidth(0.04)
	love.graphics.line(0,0,10000,0)
	love.graphics.line(0,0,0,10000)
	love.graphics.line(0,0,0,-10000)
	love.graphics.line(0,0,-10000,0)
	love.graphics.setLineWidth(0.04)
	Fontscaler = Fontsize/Fontfactor
	for i=1,100	do
		--x
		love.graphics.line(i,-GLS,i,GLS)
		love.graphics.print(i, i, 0.2, 0, Fontscaler , Fontscaler )
		love.graphics.line(-i,-GLS,-i,GLS)
		love.graphics.print("-"..i, -i, -1, 0, Fontscaler , Fontscaler )
		--//x
		--y
		love.graphics.line(-GLS,i,GLS,i)
		love.graphics.line(-GLS,-i,GLS,-i)
		love.graphics.print("-"..i, -1, i, 0, Fontscaler , Fontscaler )
		love.graphics.print(i, 0.1, -i-0, 0, Fontscaler , Fontscaler )
		--//y
	end

Please help me with the issue,

How about this:

Code: Select all

if zoom >= far_away then
  mode = "smooth"
else
  mode ="rough"
end

Doesnt really work. Smooth still looks like crap the very moment rough is already cutting critical pixels. Look at this sine curve. The first image is with rough mode and the second is zoomed out similar with smooth mode. Really looks bugged for me.

Make sure your blend mode is set to "premultiplied" when you draw the canvas to the screen, if it isn't already.

This actually helped quite a lot. I'm working on a very(!) small scale. I guess this is the problem. It always worked with 0.7.2. Rescaling the whole thing should help quite a bit. Anyway thanks.

I had exactly the same issue. They told me to use larger line pieces. That means a solid rewrite for me, due to how the game works.

Yeah i'm also working on it, but for the meantime i'm still using 0.7.2.. Perhaps they work on the line system and it's fixed in the next version.

Don't hold your breath for it.

Except it's not broken (afaik). You guys depended on a bug that has now been fixed.

The main question for me is why it works with rough mode though.
