ShapeBatch

A simple 2D primitive shape drawing system for MonoGame

Setup

Copy the ShapeBatch.cs file into your project. The ShapeBatch static class is in the ShapeUtils namespace.

Basic Usage

Use ShapeBatch during the Draw() method in MonoGame

ShapeBatch.Begin(GraphicsDevice);

// Call any of the static shape methods here, such as:
// ShapeBatch.Line();
// ShapeBatch.Box();
// ShapeBatch.BoxOutline();
// ShapeBatch.Circle();
// ShapeBatch.CircleOutline();
// ShapeBatch.Triangle();
// ShapeBatch.TriangleOutline();
// The parameters vary per method.  Multiple overloads are provided for ease of use.

ShapeBatch.End();

Antialiasing Support

You can enable antialiasing of shapes by calling ShapeBatch.EnableAntialiasing(_graphics); within your Game class's constructor. Calling it after the constructor is too late to change the underlying graphics settings and, as such, will throw an exception.

Notes

• This is separate from SpriteBatch and, as such, should not be intermingled with an active SpriteBatch
• If you need to draw both sprites and shapes, begin and end those batches separately
