Hi,
My scenario is rendering non-complex 2D polygons (by 2D I mean the Z values of the vertexes are all the same) and I want to draw the boundary edge with a line. Currently I pre-triangulate the polygon (i.e. on model load), render that with GL_TRIANGLES and then render the polygon points with GL_LINE_LOOP (with an offset). This works, but I’d like more flexibility e.g. very thick lines.
I was thinking I could generate a smaller interior polygon and render it over the top of the original triangulated polygon (again with an offset). Not the most efficient (I could probably generate a tri-strip for line instead of the larger polygon).
I’ve also been looking at single pass wireframe drawing and I like the idea of a single pass. I’m wondering if it could be simplified for my situation?
Any thoughts on this or other ideas?
Cheers,
Stuart.
