PolygonDrawingUtil

An efficient Android utility class for drawing regular polygons on a Canvas.

Consumers can specify:

• number of sides (≥ 3);
• center coordinates;
• outer radius (center to vertex);
• corner rounding radius;
• polygon rotation;
• fill/stroke Paint.

Getting Started

1. Specify PolygonDrawingUtil as a dependency in your build.gradle file:

   dependencies {
   
   compile 'com.stkent:polygondrawingutil:1.0.0' 
   }
   

2. Create a new PolygonDrawingUtil instance and assign it to a field in your custom view class:

   private PolygonDrawingUtil polygonDrawingUtil = new PolygonDrawingUtil();
   

3. Call polygonDrawUtil.drawPolygon in your onDraw method:

   @Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
   
   super.onDraw(canvas);
   
    polygonDrawingUtil.drawPolygon(
   
    canvas,
   
    numberOfSides,
   
    centerX,
   
    centerY,
   
    polygonRadius,
   
    cornerRadius,
   
    rotation,
   
    polygonPaint);
    
   }
