I have been trying to use the internal function "f_rounded_box" from
functions.inc to replace a rounded box macro I use but have come across some
problems. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the function or if I just am
not using it properly (I have tried to read everything in the docs about
them before coming here).
I have included my code, variables need to be changed for the various
problems.
First, the docs claim it's defined in a cube -1 to 1, but when scaling less
than 1, the surface of the rounded box is less than what it should be (i.e.,
a=0.8)
Second, when scaling greater than one, the box seems to be the right size
but if the scale factors are used (which the docs state preserve the corner
radius), the box gets clipped (the box looks like it was bigger than scaled
with rounded edges but then clipped to the right side you may need to run
the code to see what I mean)
try:
a=<1.1,1.1,1.1>, sx=a.x, sy=a.y, sz=a.z, rad=0.75
Third, when scaling non-uniformly, the edge radius gets stretched out of
shape, it doesn't maintain it's circular radius
try:
a=<0.5,0.9,0.9>, sx=a.x, sy=a.y, sz=a.z, rad=0.5
or
a=<0.5,0.9,0.9>, sx=1, sy=1, sz=1, rad=0.5
Sorry if this is not a bug, but just my misunderstanding of the way the
functions work.
