We now have a WIP WebDrawingArea :o

Post by BruceSteers »

Like the title says there is now a WebDrawingArea.class with a few emulated Paint instructions.

I asked on the m/l about the html <canvas> tag https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_canvas.asp
and if anything had been done with it as it looks like it could be a Paint alternative for web and Benoit went and did something with it :)

It's very WIP at present but it's going to open up all manner of things for us :)

I got it to do this...

That was just a tester i've been playing with but hand painted buttons and the like are soon to be possible :)

Well wishes
Bruce

My gambas coding must be improving.
I added Gradients to WebDrawingArea and didn't have to change a whole load of things to make it acceptable to Benoit :D

So Gradients are coming real soon :)

Next will be Painting text with gradients if wanted.

then supporting using images/patterns for Paint.Fill/Stroke

Personally i think this is all pretty exciting for gb.web.gui users :)

I made a hand drawn web version of the gradient button :)

My implementation of Painting the text is a bit rubbish but it sort of works for now until Ben make a proper version :)

It's a brave new world :)
