Gradients w/o BGRA_PRE

[Michael Heinrichs]

Hi Jim,

thanks for your reply. Right now I do not see anything. PaintHelper.initGradientTextures() eventually calls ES2Texture.create(), which checks if the requested pixel format is supported. This test fails in my case, because WebGL is ES2 only and the extension is not supported. But when I disable this test and pretend that BGRA is RGBA, I see exactly what you describe: the red and the blue channel are swapped.

Thanks,
Michael

Otherwise, if I read the code correctly it looks like we will just pretend the incoming data is in RGBA format, which would mean that the rendering would happen, but the red and blue components would be swapped.  Is that what you are seeing?

But when I try to use a gradient, at some point PaintHelper.initGradientTextures() is called, which requires the pixel format BGRA_PRE  Obviously something about my configuration is wrong. But I cannot figure out, where the alternative implementation resides. How should the implementation of gradients work if BGRA_PRE is not available?
