DrawingApi2

Custom synapse Drawing API

Why?

The synapse Drawing API is doodoo, so I made my own. This is fully backwards compatible and also includes many useful features and benefits.

Changelog

V1

Initial creation of code.

Functions exactly as the DrawingAPI would.

V1.1

Added support for passing in a table containing property info instead of the type.

You can still use Drawing.new and pass through the type normally.

Example:

Drawing.new{'Square', Position = Vector2.new(1,1), ...}

V1.2

Added more color support.

You can now pass through a string containing one of 2 things for the Color property: A Hex Color Code or a string with RGB info.

Example of a Hex Color Code:

Drawing.new{'Square', Color = '#40c254'}; --green color

Example of RGB info:

Drawing.new{'Square', Color = '255, 100, 255'}; --pink color

For the RGB info, any seperator will work, as long as it is not a number. (There can even be full words or sentences between them, if you really want)

V1.3

Bug fixes with the color support

Fully documented the code.

V1.4

Added aliases for Drawing.new: .new, .New, .create, .Create

Added support for custom objects.

See Examples for more info.

V1.5

Added Parent property to all objects.

Is used in addition to Descendants. When you set an Object's Parent, it will add said Object to its now Parent's Descendants table. This will make sure that whenever you :Remove the Parent, Object will be removed as well.

V1.6 (BIG UPDATE, !MISSING NOTES!)

Bug fixes and a couple of minor overall code improvements.

Added default custom objects which is the TextButton in this example (improved heavily) and TextLabel.

These default custom objects can be accessed once calling Drawing.AddDefaultCustomObjects().

Added cursor which can be enabled / disabled by calling Drawing.(Enable/Disable)Cursor().

Cursor is disabled by default.

Added mouse input detection to handle clicking and other mouse-related events.

Added "MouseButton1Up", "MouseButton1Down", "MouseButton1Click", and "Changed" events for all objects.

Added "CanDrag"(<boolean>) property that determines whether or not the object is draggable.

Added some boolean properties used internally with click detection for all objects, although you can still access them (and even set them, although that will definitely mess with things if you don't know what you are doing)

^ These are as follows:

"CanDrag"

"Hovering"

"CanClick"

"Dragging"

"IsMouseButton1Up" &

"IsMouseButton1Down"

!NOTE! AS OF NOW Mouse Input features ONLY WORK on "Image"s and "Square"s!!!!

V1.6.1

Fixed bug disallowing the setting of Fonts for the default custom objects (TextButton, TextLabel)

V1.6.2

Fixed crucial bug where MouseButton2[...] Events weren't being created, erroring at line 812.

This is a mistake for me for not testing after last bug fix.

V1.6.3

Added Mouse Input feature support for "Circle"s

Mouse Input features now ONLY WORK on "Image"s, "Square"s, and "Circle"s
