Rounded edges?

[Mani2010]

I am trying to draw rounded edges for my own custom button.

does anyone know how to draw slightly rounded edges for a rectangle/square shape?

I can't post images but i have examples.

examples
- the chrome browser address bar
- the search button beside the search edit box at http://www.youtube.com


this is in 2d btw.

Um...well...I guess you would just draw the GUI elements...and...give them round edges?!? uh.. I don't know...

So, these are textures you're using for your GUI? Or is it for something else?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes but how? What api call? what function? How? I can not see where there is a flag you set.

No textures, i just want to draw a square/rectangle with rounded edges and place some text in the center of it. That way i can have any size button or area with rounded edges.

I could do it by having a background image but that would mean creating a texture for each size of button/area as you lose quality when you stretch a texture to fit all buttons/areas.

Look at my examples to see what i want to do.

You need to use the draw2D*() methods of the IVideoDriver interface to do it. Remember that a curve is a series of lines.
