How to draw points as polygons

[crazydef]

Hi,

I've added my own type as follows:

  <Point Type="glm::vec&lt;*&gt;" Id="glm::vec">
    <Coordinates>
      <X>x</X>
      <Y>y</Y>
    </Coordinates>
  </Point>

which displays std::vector<glm::vec3> as a collection of points in the Geometry Watch, but I can't figure out how to display those points as a polygon. I was hoping that would happen automatically.

How can I do that?

You'd have to have a separate class for that and add it as a Ring (polygon without holes), like that: https://github.com/awulkiew/graphical-debugging/blob/master/examples/cpp.xml#L204-L214

It's because containers of points can represent any point-based geometry, multi-point, linestring or polygon/ring. By default standard containers of points are represented as that, containers of points or multi-points. I guess this default behavior could be something that could be changed in the settings. So I can treat this issue as a feature request.

Yeah, I figured it to a certain degree a few days later. If I remember correctly I managed to get a class containing a vector of points to display as a polygon, but when I passed that vector to another function, the display switched to points. Which was quite frustrating at times. :)
