AA Draw¶
Antialiased graphics drawing for Pygame.
What Is Antialiasing?¶
Antialiasing is smoothing the edges in graphical drawing. This is done by gradually mixing the drawing color with the background color, as shown in the image above.
Pygame’s drawing functions do not have antialiasing implemented, so the resulting shapes will look jagged and rough. AA Draw has antialiasing, so the shapes look smooth, as shown above.
AA Draw is designed to be as similar as possible to Pygame, so you can easily switch between using AA Draw and Pygame draw.
Installation¶
Python Package¶
All releases are published on PyPI. You can install AA Draw with Pip:
pip install aadraw
Requirements¶
You will need Python3 and Pygame, a graphics module.
You can install pygame with pip install pygame
Using AA Draw¶
AA Draw is designed to be very similar to Pygame, so your code can be easily reused.
Below, you can find documentation for each draw function currently available.
aadraw.circle()¶
- params
circle(surface, color, loc, radius, border)- param surface
The Pygame surface to draw on.
- param color
RGBorRGBAcolor of the circle.- param loc
(x, y)location of the center.- param border
Border thickness in pixels. Extends inwards.
- return
NoneDraws an antialiased circle.
aadraw.rect()¶
- params
rect(surface, color, dims, border, border_radius,border_top_left_radius, border_top_right_radius,border_bottom_left_radius, border_bottom_right_radius)- param surface
The Pygame surface to draw on.
- param color
RGBorRGBAcolor of the circle.- param dims
(x, y, w, h)dimensions of the rectangle.- param border
Border thickness in pixels. Extends inwards.
- param border_radius
Rounding radius for each corner.
- param border_top_left_radius
Radius of corresponding corner.
- param border_top_right_radius
Radius of corresponding corner.
- param border_bottom_left_radius
Radius of corresponding corner.
- param border_bottom_right_radius
Radius of corresponding corner.
