Rendering rounded rectangle without an image... possible?

[csm725]

The title says it all...
Can I render a rounded rectangle (as a background, as an image...) without just drawing one in Paint.NET?

No, you can't make a rectangle with rounded corners, you will need to create an external image.

Is this feature coming any time soon?

Well, I went ahead and got this going.

It's not pretty, but here's a rectangle with with rounded corners.

Code: Select all

[roundcontrol]
Measure = Calc
Formula = 2*PI

[cornerTL]
Meter=ROUNDLINE
MeasureName=roundcontrol
X=0
Y=200
W=50
H=50
StartAngle=4.712
RotationAngle=6.283
LineLength=10
LineColor=0,0,0,255
Solid=1
AntiAlias=1

[cornerTR]
Meter=ROUNDLINE
MeasureName=roundcontrol
X=100
Y=200
W=50
H=50
StartAngle=4.712
RotationAngle=6.283
LineLength=10
LineColor=0,0,0,255
Solid=1
AntiAlias=1

[cornerBL]
Meter=ROUNDLINE
MeasureName=roundcontrol
X=0
Y=250
W=50
H=50
StartAngle=4.712
RotationAngle=6.283
LineLength=10
LineColor=0,0,0,255
Solid=1
AntiAlias=1

[cornerBR]

MeasureName=roundcontrol
X=100
Y=250
W=50
H=50
StartAngle=4.712
RotationAngle=6.283
LineLength=10
LineColor=0,0,0,255
Solid=1
AntiAlias=1

[RectFill1]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,255
X=15
Y=225
W=120
H=50

[RectFill2]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,255
X=25
Y=215
W=100
H=70

Actually does work. Nice. A lot of code to avoid a simple external image, but I stand corrected.

Wow. Thank you so much!

Indeed. Very cumbersome and more of a proof of concept than an actual solution.

Doesn't play well with transparency... :P

As I was saying, does any RM developer know if this feature will be avail in the near future?

Haha, no unfortunately that's the downside to this method. There is always the possibility of using multiple roundline meters that only make up one quarter of a circle, but then you'll have to use 5 "fill" rectangles in the middle (one for each side and one in the middle).

There is no current intention to add this capability. You never know what the future might bring, but this would not be terribly high on the priority list as it is so easy to create an external image that can look any way you want.
