Suppose I update path (a class variable) outside the paint() function. You can assume that the actual path is much more complex than this. I don’t want to update that in each paint() function.
auto bound = getLocalBounds().toFloat();
const auto temp_bound = bound.reduced(5.f);
path.clear();
path.startNewSubPath(temp_bound.getBottomLeft());
path.lineTo(temp_bound.getTopRight());
path.lineTo(temp_bound.getBottomRight());
Now, suppose the path has N points:
- I want to stroke the path from point 1 to point N (but not point N to point 1)
- I want to fill the closed area of path
Instead of creating another path & close that path, can I reuse the path like this:
g.setColour(juce::Colours::orange);
g.fillPath(path);
g.setColour(juce::Colours::white);
g.strokePath(path, juce::PathStrokeType{2.5f});
I have tested on macOS & Windows and the result is the same as expected. But I am not sure whether it is safe to assume that it will always work.
