Problem when using curveVertex on a PShape

[sableRaph]

Hi @DrHooDoo

You are right. It looks like curveVertex() doesn’t work properly with PShape in Java2D.

Here’s a previous thread on this topic that might be helpful:

Why doesn't curveVertex work in this PShape

I was looking at an example of creating a spiral on the old Processing forum, drawing a spiral size(800,800); smooth(); translate(width/2,height/2); strokeWeight(2); beginShape(); for(int i=0;i<350;i++) { curveVertex((i*2)*sin(i/5.0),(i*2)*cos(i/5.0)); } endShape(); I tried to recreate this in a PShape but curveVertex seems not to work when used this way, and I would like to know why. Is it just because PShape doesn’t like it for some reason? So in this example, the “green” one at the end …

Note: This is a known issue (with a “help wanted” tag by the way if someone feels like looking into it )
