Drawing or Displaying Graphics

[PopsHugo]

Hi, I am new to Basic4Android and I must admit that I have not yet thoroughly studied the documentation.

I wish to create an App in which I would be drawing a number (60)of triangles of different (12) colors on the screen and refreshing them frequently.

1. Is this possible?
2. How difficult?

I could have a large number of graphic images, triangles of all the colors, stored and display them at the appropriate location when necessary or I could redraw the triangles and fill them when necessary.

Is Basic4Android a suitable SDK for this type of App?

Any suggestions?

1. It is possible.
2. It is not difficult. However you do need to understand the different drawing methods. Note that in order to fill a triangle you need to use the Path object with Canvas.ClipPath.

I recommend you to start with the Beginner's guide: Basic4android (Basic for Android) - Android programming with Gui designer

Hi Erel, Thank you. Looked at Canvas.ClipPath example and that should work very well for what I want to do.
