Re: generating a circle

One circle in front of the other will give an outline if the colour of the front sphere is the same as the bg.

Can you think of a good way to create an image containing a circle?
I'm surprised there isn't an Image Unit for creating simple
geometrical shapes (yet)...

I'd like to avoid to embed a bitmap in the composition for such a
simple thing. I can think of a number of ugly ways of generating it
procedurally (involving iterators), but none of them is going to be
very efficient.



do you want it solid or outline?

for a solid circle use a sphere and "render in image" to make it a 2d image. There may be
a way of rendering this outline, haven't played with it.

but it will be more cpu efficient to embed a bitmap and only use a small amount
of memory, why not do it this way?
