Rounded corner polygon fast draw

[abakobo]

Hi it's my first post here..

The new monkey2 language (monkey2.monkey-x.com) has a chipmunk port and I'm working on a debugdraw based on monkey2's 2d graphics module(mojo).
I've seen the chipmunk debugdraw implementation with the C demo but I can't really understand all the GL triangles code and it's 60 lines long so kind of low level for a monkey2 user.

In my implementation I have to draw n circle, n fat lines and one n sided poly. This is taking a lot of resources..

here's the code in monkey2 (should be self explanatory)

Code: Select all

_canvas.Color=New Color( fillColor.r,fillColor.g,fillColor.b,fillColor.a )

_canvas.DrawPoly( count,vertices )
		
_canvas.Color=New Color( outlineColor.r,outlineColor.g,outlineColor.b,outlineColor.a )	
_canvas.LineWidth=radius*2		
		
For Local i:=1 Until count		
	_canvas.DrawLine( verts[i-1].x,verts[i-1].y,verts[i].x,verts[i].y )
	_canvas.DrawCircle( verts[i-1].x,verts[i-1].y,radius )			
Next
_canvas.DrawLine( verts[count-1].x,verts[count-1].y,verts[0].x,verts[0].y )
_canvas.DrawCircle( verts[count-1].x,verts[count-1].y,radius )

-Is the attached png (and above algorithm) a correct way to draw these rounded corner polys?
-Is there a "trick" to draw these rounded polys faster?

thx and congrats for the great lib chipmunk is

Not really unfortunately. If there is an API to draw bezier curves, you could use that. Otherwise you have to draw them out of other pieces.
