Hi all,
I am currently looking at the SkiaSharp Example here: https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/drawing/introduction/#Obtaining_an_SKCanvas.
It seem's easy enough and i implemented my code as the following:
public TestController()
{
InitializeComponent();
DrawXamagon();
}
protected void DrawXamagon() {
using (var surface = SKSurface.Create(width: 640, height: 480, colorType:SKColorType.Rgb565, alphaType: SKAlphaType.Premul))
{
SKCanvas canvas = surface.Canvas;
// clear the canvas / fill with white
canvas.Clear(SKColors.White);
// set up drawing tools
using (var paint = new SKPaint())
{
paint.IsAntialias = true;
paint.Color = new SKColor(0x2c, 0x3e, 0x50);
paint.StrokeCap = SKStrokeCap.Round;
// create the Xamagon path
using (var path = new SKPath())
{
path.MoveTo(71.4311121f, 56f);
path.CubicTo(68.6763107f, 56.0058575f, 65.9796704f, 57.5737917f, 64.5928855f, 59.965729f);
path.LineTo(43.0238921f, 97.5342563f);
path.CubicTo(41.6587026f, 99.9325978f, 41.6587026f, 103.067402f, 43.0238921f, 105.465744f);
path.LineTo(64.5928855f, 143.034271f);
path.CubicTo(65.9798162f, 145.426228f, 68.6763107f, 146.994582f, 71.4311121f, 147f);
path.LineTo(114.568946f, 147f);
path.CubicTo(117.323748f, 146.994143f, 120.020241f, 145.426228f, 121.407172f, 143.034271f);
path.LineTo(142.976161f, 105.465744f);
path.CubicTo(144.34135f, 103.067402f, 144.341209f, 99.9325978f, 142.976161f, 97.5342563f);
path.LineTo(121.407172f, 59.965729f);
path.CubicTo(120.020241f, 57.5737917f, 117.323748f, 56.0054182f, 114.568946f, 56f);
path.LineTo(71.4311121f, 4056f);
path.Close();
// draw the Xamagon path
canvas.DrawPath(path, paint);
}
}
}
I have no errors and the code steps through fine, but noting is displayed (It should display the Xamarin logo). There dosen't seem to be much more to the example, am i supposed to initialise a canvas or Skview in the XAML, or is there any mistakes anybody can see in my example?
Thank you in advanced.
