UI Sprites - Wrapping/Repeating Texture

Hello,

I am trying to symbolize the relationships between UI elements with some lines.

These lines might be rotated, which necessitates using Urho3D::Sprite elements. I create a Sprite element with the required line width and stretch the texture onto that.
For a “simple” (uniformly colored) line this works perfectly fine.

Now I want to display a different kind of relationship where there is transparency dividing the line continously.

But I just can’t get it to wrap the texture properly, instead it always stretches it. I have tried playing around with Sprite->GetTexture()->SetAddressMode(…) and setting U (and V) to Urho3D::TextureAddressMode::ADDRESS_WRAP but it is still stretched.

Here is a visualisation, the horizontal “line” is the problem:

texwrap422×793 5.09 KB

It was strange that the texture is just cut off without BLEND_ALPHA mode. Just like how the colors are somehow different from the actual texture, but both those things are not much of an issue.

But now I am kind of stuck with the stretched texture, and it should somehow be possible to get it to wrap properly?

The only relevant topic I had found is this but that does refer to “regular” sprites, not UI sprites I guess.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

I don’t do much with Urho’s UI, so this is just a guess, but I think the issue is that you need to get the UI to use UV coordinates larger than 0-1 for your repeating-line sprite. I think, though I’m not sure, that you might be able to get it to do that using SetImageRect with a rectangle larger than the size of the texture.

Ah yes of course! That fixed it, thanks a ton.
