my primitive drawing gets disappeared if I prevent the primitive drawing logic to work once the primitive is drawn

I am sorry. What’s the problem?

#3

The primitive is drawn when the touch move event occurs because of
drawClip->drawActive=true; -> this lets the code inside overridden draw method to draw primitive;
after the touchEnd fires
drawClip->drawActive=false; ->this stops the code inside overridden draw method to draw primitive;
now the previously drawn primitive disappears I want the previously drawn primitive to remain drawn which is not happening.

Am i missing something any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

#4

It is the expected behavior. You should draw everything in a frame. Previous frame will be replace by new frame.

#5

What is the expected way to retain the previous drawing? will be glad to know in detail.:slight_smile: :slight_smile:

#6

You should draw it.
Not stops the code inside overridden draw method to draw primitive.

#7

On not stopping the code inside overridden draw it doesn’t creates the next copy of primitive. Same primitive is drawn in the next place. I want to create multiple copies of the same primitive in mouse move.

#8

I don’t know how to do in detail.
I just want to say, you should draw it if you want to see it.
Just that.

:frowning: but thanks for your initiation to solve my issue
