Question by Fattie · Apr 12, 2012 at 06:21 AM · guiasset store

Looking for GUI system which allows drawing simple shapes...

NOTE .. I stumbled on to a fantastic little package called "Dynamic Circles" in the asset store which seems to exactly solve this problem. http://gameassets.net/demo/dynamiccircles.html

I had the ingenious idea of using the search term "circles" on the asset store :-)


Unity's two guis systems allow for:

  • making text

  • placing, scaling down, and rotating images

I was thinking it would be very useful to be able to able to draw shapes ..

  • filled rectangles

  • filled circles

in arbitrary locations/orientations and draw them either solid or transparent. Once again I'm talking about in a UIi-layer paradigm.

Surely there is an asset store GUI package that provides these features? Does anyone know?

I had a good search but couldn't really figure it.

Does anyone know the answer?

(BTW of course, obviously, you can fake this in unity's gui systems by using PNGs of squares, circles, and placing them as images, but it is hateful, inflexible, and is a ridiculous waste of texture memory. Pls do not reply that "this can be done in unity gui using pngs!" I am aware of that. I am wondering if someone has produced a package that "natively" in some way draws simple shapes, both solid and transparent, in some sort of gui layer concept. Thanks!)

You'd think this would be a popular need, so perhaps there is some obvious package that "everyone knows about" other than me (as usual!)

For that matter maybe this exists in Unity and I just don't know??

Thanks in advance !!

I think Vectorisity might be what you're looking for.

As long as you don't need filled shapes.

Who needs a marketing budget with that kind of plugging? ;)

i am marking this question correct on the basis "it is highly useful if not precisely what was asked" and also "anal people hate having unanswered questions on the board!"
