Depth sorting not working for lines in PDF or SVG export
Description
Rendering lines or spheres on the screen works fine. When we render spheres to PDF or SVG, they are depth sorted properly. However, lines are not depth sorted; they are drawn in the order of declaration.
Expected Behavior
Lines should also be drawn according to their depth ordering (at least with hint(ENABLE_DEPTH_SORT) enabled).
Current Behavior
Lines are currently drawn according to their declaration order (even with hint(ENABLE_DEPTH_SORT) enabled).
Steps to Reproduce
Comment/uncomment each line that appears in draw().
import processing.pdf.*;
import processing.svg.*;
void setup()
{
size( 500 , 500 , P3D );
hint( ENABLE_DEPTH_SORT );
}
void draw()
{
// Choose one:
//drawToScreen();
drawToPDF();
//drawToSVG();
}
void drawToPDF()
{
// Here we generate the PDF document.
beginRaw( PDF , "output.pdf" );
drawMyStuff();
endRaw();
exit();
}
void drawToSVG()
{
// Here we generate the SVG image.
beginRaw( SVG , "output.svg" );
drawMyStuff();
endRaw();
exit();
}
void drawToScreen()
{
// Here we just draw to the screen.
drawMyStuff();
}
void drawMyStuff()
{
background(255);
lights();
strokeWeight( 50 );
// First we draw the line that should be shown on top (black).
stroke( 0 , 0 , 0 );
line( 250 , 50 , 100 , 250 , 450 , 100 );
// Then the line that should be shown behind (red).
stroke( 255 , 0 , 0 );
line( 50 , 250 , -100 , 450 , 250 , -100 );
stroke( 0 , 0 , 0 );
strokeWeight( 1 );
// First, draw a green sphere that should appear on top.
pushMatrix();
fill( 0 , 255 , 0 );
translate( width*4/10 , height*4/10 , 50 );
sphere( 70 );
popMatrix();
// Then draw a blue sphere that should appear behind.
pushMatrix();
fill( 0 , 0 , 255 );
translate( width*3/10 , height*3/10 , -50 );
sphere( 70 );
popMatrix();
}
