Clipping support for draw2DRectangleOutline?

Post by serengeor »

Well I was doing some stuff with GUI and I noticed that function 'irr::video::IVideoDriver::draw2DRectangleOutline' does not take clipping argument.
API_DOC wrote:virtual void draw2DRectangleOutline (const core::recti &pos, SColor color=SColor(255, 255, 255, 255))=0
Draws the outline of a 2D rectangle.
Is there any specific reason why it's not there?

Yeah, no-one done it... don't think there is any reason beside that.

IIRC, this method was only intended for internal use in the Irrlicht GUI elements in the very early days. And probably it was not adjusted when it was made publicly available.
