Problem with the 'Circle' Element

Postby Viridel » Tue Mar 30, 2021 11:01 pm

So I'm trying to draw a circle around the speedometer element, and both those elements seem to have a glitch:

1) The numbers on the speedometer are generated in a text-box, which creates a black box around them
and
2) The No-Fill option for the Circle element simply doesn't work. I can simulate an outline by doing a 100px white circle and a 98px black circle... but:

If I put the circles on top, then they block the speedometer
If I put the speedometer on top, the text boxes break the circle.

Any thoughts?

Yup, resolved the circle issue!

Any word on whether the speedometer marks can be done without the text-boxes? With those, the feature can't really be used over a background image.

its not possible at the moment due to the way the draw works.
what you can try is to disable the needle marks and add the numbers yourself in each spot and see if that works.
Keep in mind that wherever the needle passes thru it will clear anything behind it since there is no double buffer
