Drawing lines in the editor

No, I don't have - and have no reason to get - 4.6.

 

I confirm DrawLine is broken since unity 5. The lines have an offest on the x axis.

hint: The offest increase with the line lenght, maybe something with the scaling...

 

Thanks you very much !

 

FYI all, I am using the Handles static class (http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Handles.html) just fine in Unity 5 without resorting to home-grown line drawing methods.

 

Very nice!

 

Does that work in custom editor windows (OnGUI)? The docs make it sound like it's all about drawing in the scene view in 3D.

 

I optimized the method further more. I think this should work. Tell me if this works properly

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public static class EditorGUIx
3. {
4. private static Texture2D s_lineTex;
5.  
6. static EditorGUIx()
7. {
8. s_lineTex = new Texture2D( 1, 3, TextureFormat.ARGB32, true );
9. s_lineTex.SetPixel( 0, 0, new Color( 1, 1, 1, 0 ) );
10. s_lineTex.SetPixel( 0, 1, Color.white );
11. s_lineTex.SetPixel( 0, 2, new Color( 1, 1, 1, 0 ) );
12. s_lineTex.Apply();
13. }
14.  
15. public static void DrawLine( Vector2 p_pointA, Vector2 p_pointB, float p_width )
16. {
17. Matrix4x4 _saveMatrix = GUI.matrix;
18. Color _saveColor = GUI.color;
19.  
20. Vector2 _delta = p_pointB - p_pointA;
21. GUIUtility.ScaleAroundPivot( new Vector2( _delta.magnitude, p_width ), Vector2.zero );
22. GUIUtility.RotateAroundPivot( Vector2.Angle( _delta, Vector2.right ) * Mathf.Sign( _delta.y ), Vector2.zero );
23. GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS( p_pointA, Quaternion.identity, Vector3.one ) * GUI.matrix;
24.  
25. GUI.DrawTexture( new Rect( Vector2.zero, Vector2.one ), s_lineTex );
26.  
27. GUI.matrix = _saveMatrix;
28. GUI.color = _saveColor;
29. }
30. }
31.  

 

Can this be used for ingame lines? I've tried

Code (CSharp):

1. public Vector2[] points = { new Vector2(0.25f, 0.5f), new Vector2(0.33333f, 0.1f)};

then calling

Code (CSharp):

1. EditorGUIx.DrawLine(points[0], points[1], 1f);

from OnPostRender() and OnGUI() but nothing shows up.
I know I can use `Handles` but I'm interested in drawing thousands of lines per frame so efficiency is my primary concern. The comparison chart is convincing I also know about Vectrosity but 1. I'm not willing to pay and 2. I want to use the simplest code that I can also understand.

 

It's always cheaper to pay than to rewrite.

 

Yeah but I guess this Drawing class is way better than Vectrosity.
Damn, I accidentally moved the GO from under the canvas... Not it works. In fact both Drawing and EditorGUIx.

 

Has anyone uploaded the source to a repo on github.com?

 

Note that Drawing is broken in Unity 5. See few posts above.

 

@AndreiMarian thanks for the info.
