Hi.
Today I noticed my TextEditors no longer have shadows in them.
Obviously I accused myself, but after some minutes of self beating and investigation I have exonerated myself.
Looking in GraphicsContext::drawBevel() I have found this line:
const float op = useGradient ? (sharpEdgeOnOutside ? bevelThickness - i : i) / bevelThickness
: 1.0f;
This line is responsible for the opacity of each line in the bevel.
In my case, useGradient and sharpEdgeOnOutside are both true, meaning the opacity is denoted by:
Now, this calculation is an all-int calculation, meaning it’s 1 when i = 0 and 0 for every other i.
I had modified the line to cast it to float:
const float op = useGradient ? (sharpEdgeOnOutside ? (float)bevelThickness - i : i) / bevelThickness
: 1.0f;
And now it is working.
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong here?
Note that when looking at an older commit, the line is:
const float op = useGradient ? ramp * (sharpEdgeOnOutside ? bevelThickness - i : i)
: oldOpacity;
where ramp is:
const float oldOpacity = 1.0f;//xxx state->colour.getFloatAlpha();
const float ramp = oldOpacity / bevelThickness;
Meaning the calculation results in a float in the older commit.
Thanks!
