[Extendflash] Drawing lines without optimising

[John Deans]

I have a solution now, of sorts.
 
I use two layers, and alternate which one I draw onto for each little
stroke. That way, the lines don't get smoothed. Thanks Sathesh and Tomas
for taking the time.

To clarify, I'm drawing curves made up of lots of short straight lines.
 
So the graph drawing function itself looks like this
function drawCurve()
{
 var x1;
 var y1;
 var x2 = xPixMin;
//findPixel is a function that evaluates the function being graphed for
the given value of x
 var y2 = 2*axisHeight + findPixel(func, xPixMin);
 //Loop to draw the curve
 for(var i = xPixMin; i < xPixMax; i ++)
 {
  x1 = x2;
  y1 = y2;
  x2 = i;
  y2 = 2*axisHeight + findPixel(func, i);
  doc.addNewLine({x:x1, y:y1}, {x:x2, y:y2});
 }
}
 
I'm fairly sure there's nothing 'wrong' with this; it's just that the
lines all get smoothed out a bit.

I have done a Graph tool too but didnt come across the problem you
mentioned (im also drawing straight lines only)...can you post your
script so that we can find out where things going wrong...

	Hi,
	 
	No, I'm just drawing in straight lines - I'm calculating every
point and connecting them.

	Hello: 
	r u drawing in cubics [ drawingLayer.cubicCurveTo() ] or
quadratics [ drawingLayer.curveTo() ]?
