Stack Overflow Asked by akram on February 22, 2021
Hi I am trying to use a vector drawable in my android app.
Here is the xml for the same
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="1024dp"
android:height="1024dp"
android:viewportWidth="1024"
android:viewportHeight="1024">
<path
android:pathData="M 0,0 L 50,0 L 50,50 z"
android:strokeColor="#000000" />
</vector>
and here is how it looks without any stroke width
If I add android:strokeWidth="10" here is how it looks
The stoke width is not consistent(same width) across all lines and the leftmost point seems to be not cut off
Is there any way through which all the 3 lines drawn are of consistent(same width) and not irregular?
Imagine the drawable as a coordinate system with the point p(0,0) being on the top-left corner. Your x-axis goes from top-left to top-right and your y-axis goes from top-left to bottom-left.
When you're creating a path, it goes from one point to another point in the coordinate system. When you're stroking this path, the drawn line has some strokeWidth
which is 1 by default. But when you set the width to, lets say 10, then the line is much thicker in your coordinate-system, but where should this "Thickness" go if your path is, for example already at y=0 ? The drawable won't display any negativate coordinates. That's why your drawable got cut-off.
The solution:
add the strokeWidth
to the coordinates, that are smaller than strokeWidth
+
subtract the strokeWidth
from the coordinates, that are greater than your viewportWidth-strokeWidth
and/or viewportHeight-strokeWidth
+ give spacing for edges that are at the borders of your viewport (in this example a extra spacing of 3 is fine)
So your code should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="1024dp"
android:height="1024dp"
android:viewportWidth="1024"
android:viewportHeight="1024">
<path
android:pathData="M 13,13 L 50,13 L 50,50 z"
android:strokeColor="#000000"
android:strokeWidth="10"/>
</vector>
