I have an 8x8 Image. (bitmap - can be changed)
What I want to do is be able to draw a shape, given a Path
and Paint
object onto my SurfaceView
.
At the moment all I can do is fill the shape with solid colour. How can I draw it with a pattern.
In the image you can see the brush pattern (The cross). It can be anything from a cross to a donut or an elf.
How would I go about drawing this pattern background.
I also eventually want to apply colours to it.
So far, my theory is to create a clip area of the shape, and tile the bitmaps until area is covered, but this is extreme overkill in processing. Nor sound ideal.
In terms of colouring, I can edit the brushes to be alpha, fill the same with background colour, then draw the images on top. The real issue it the tiling of such patterns.
Ive found a few questions of a similar nature, all unanswered, and/or not applicable to my situation. (use of xmls on views etc)
