rounded rect

Is there anyway to draw a rounded rectangle?

With the current Bmax syntax, as far as I know, the answer is no - that is, there's not a command like DrawRoundRect.

You could try these approaches:
- draw and resize a previously made rounded-rect image
- make a class (Type) which will draw a rounded rectangle.

That should not too much complicated. You need to draw 4 arcs which will substitute the rect corners.

Each arc is a fraction of a circle, which center depends on the 4 edges of the rect; width and height of the rect gives also the range of circle.

Hope this helps,
Sergio.

try this because i can't - at school

Function DrawRoundRect(x:int, y:int, width:int, height:int, radius:int)
	Drawoval(x, y, radius, radius)
	Drawoval(x + (width – (radius/2)), y, radius, radius)
	Drawoval(x, y + (height – (radius/2)), radius, radius)
	Drawoval(x + (width – (radius/2)), y + (height – (radius/2)), radius, radius)
	Drawrect(x + (radius / 2), y, width – radius, height
	Drawrect(x, y + (radius / 2), width, height – radius
End function

You may adjust to your needs - still some problem with small rects, and no optimized code (too much variables) , but works:

Better off for speed to just draw 4 ovals and 2 rects.

ok got to fix it

Function DrawRoundRect(x:Int, y:Int, width:Int, height:Int, radius:Int)
	DrawOval(x, y, radius, radius)
	DrawOval(x + (width - (radius)), y, radius, radius)
	DrawOval(x, y + (height - (radius)), radius, radius)
	DrawOval(x + (width - (radius)), y + (height - (radius)), radius, radius)
	DrawRect(x + (radius / 2), y, width - radius, height)
	DrawRect(x, y + (radius / 2), width, height - radius)
End Function

Thanks Diablo, it works fine :)
