Question: manually constructing a Viewport struct #1103
Open
Description
I have a weird use case for piston2d-graphics, where I'm making draw calls without a game loop, because I'm generating a batch of one-off images in a headless OpenGL context. The problem is that, given a glutin::HeadlessContext with dimensions widthxheight, I don't know how to construct a graphics::Viewport that covers exactly that rectangle.
For clarity, here's where my code diverges from regular code. Where a lot of sample code suggests something like
let mut glgraphics = GlGraphics::new(opengl);
let mut events = Events::new(EventSettings::new());
while let Some(e) = events.next(&mut window) {
if let Some(args) = e.render_args() {
glgraphics.draw(e.viewport(), |c, g| {
something.draw(c.transform, g);
});
}I instead use code like this, because I don't have a window or event loop:
let mut glgraphics = GlGraphics::new(opengl);
let viewport = Viewport {
rect: [0, 0, width, height], // pretty sure this is wrong!
draw_size: [width as u32, height as u32],
window_size: [width as u32, height as u32],
};
for _ in some_iterator() {
glgraphics.draw(&viewport, |c, g| {
/* what I'd like to write is
graphics::image(&some_texture, c.transform, g);
but to make sure my viewport coordinates are sensible I currently write */
graphics::Rectangle::new([1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0])
.draw([0.0, 0.0, 1000.0, 1000.0], &c.draw_state, c.transform, g);
// and, spoiler, they're not
});
}The resulting image shows the square stretched out of shape, and partially off the horizontal edge it should be aligned to, and I'm pretty sure it's the result of my initial viewport dimensions being wrong.
