How to draw a solid circle with cocos2d for iPhone

Question

Is it possible to draw a filled circle with cocos2d ? An outlined circle can be done using the drawCircle() function, but is there a way to fill it in a certain color? Perhaps b

Answer 1

Here's a slight modification of ccDrawCircle() that lets you draw any slice of a circle. Stick this in CCDrawingPrimitives.m and also add the method header information to CCDrawingPrimitives.h:

Parameters: a: starting angle in radians, d: delta or change in angle in radians (use 2*M_PI for a complete circle)

Changes are commented

void ccDrawFilledCircle( CGPoint center, float r, float a, float d, NSUInteger totalSegs)
{
    int additionalSegment = 2;

    const float coef = 2.0f * (float)M_PI/totalSegs;

    NSUInteger segs = d / coef;
    segs++; //Rather draw over than not draw enough

    if (d == 0) return;

    GLfloat *vertices = calloc( sizeof(GLfloat)*2*(segs+2), 1);
    if( ! vertices )
        return;

    for(NSUInteger i=0;i<=segs;i++)
    {
        float rads = i*coef;
        GLfloat j = r * cosf(rads + a) + center.x;
        GLfloat k = r * sinf(rads + a) + center.y;

        //Leave first 2 spots for origin
        vertices[2+ i*2] = j * CC_CONTENT_SCALE_FACTOR();
        vertices[2+ i*2+1] =k * CC_CONTENT_SCALE_FACTOR();
    }
    //Put origin vertices into first 2 spots
    vertices[0] = center.x * CC_CONTENT_SCALE_FACTOR();
    vertices[1] = center.y * CC_CONTENT_SCALE_FACTOR();

    // Default GL states: GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_VERTEX_ARRAY, GL_COLOR_ARRAY, GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY
    // Needed states: GL_VERTEX_ARRAY, 
    // Unneeded states: GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY, GL_COLOR_ARRAY   
    glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
    glDisableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
    glDisableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY);

    glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 0, vertices);
    //Change to fan
    glDrawArrays(GL_TRIANGLE_FAN, 0, segs+additionalSegment);

    // restore default state
    glEnableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY);
    glEnableClientState(GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY);
    glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);    

    free( vertices );
}
