Path drawn on scaled GLES20RecordingCanvas
has quality as if it was drawn unscaled in bitmap and then up-scaled.
In contrast, if I create Canvas
with backing bitmap and then apply the same scaling transformations to Canvas
object I get much superior bitmap.
Here both circles are drawn with Path.addCircle
and using Canvas.scale
. Upper circle is drawn with scaled GLES20RecordingCanvas
and lower is drawn with scaled simple Canvas
with backing bitmap.
Some code:
public class TestPathRenderer extends View {
...
@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);
int measuredWidth = getMeasuredWidth();
int measuredHeight = getMeasuredHeight();
float distortedWidth = getDistortedWidth();
float distortedHeight = getDistortedHeight();
path.reset();
path.addCircle(distortedWidth/2f, distortedHeight/2f, Math.min(distortedWidth/2f, distortedHeight/2f), Path.Direction.CW);
bitmap = assembleNewBitmap(measuredWidth, measuredHeight);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
super.onDraw(canvas);
switch (renderMode) {
case RENDER_MODE_WO_BITMAP:
drawOnCanvas(canvas);
break;
case RENDER_MODE_WITH_BITMAP:
canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0f, 0f, paint);
break;
default:
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Undefined render mode: " + renderMode);
}
}
private Bitmap assembleNewBitmap(int w, int h) {
Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
drawOnCanvas(canvas);
return bitmap;
}
private void drawOnCanvas(@NonNull Canvas canvas) {
canvas.save();
canvas.scale(DISTORTION_FACTOR, DISTORTION_FACTOR);
canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
canvas.restore();
}
}
I can't understand the quality difference with these two cases. For me it seems that they have to be interchangeable.
