Hello everyone,

Im currently having a problem i need to solve, so basically at the moment im drawing a series of lines to create a shape. This works fine but I now want to fill in the shape, whats the best way to do this? I know open gl es doesnt support GL_FILL

Could someone please point me in the right direction, heres the code im using atm if anyone needs it. Im looping through and drawing one of these lines for each one i need to ultimately make a single shape.

Code:

GLfloat vVertices[] = {lsx, lsy, 0.0f, lfx, lfy, 0.0f};

glLineWidth(3*endGameScale);

glVertexPointer(3, GL_FLOAT, 0, vVertices);

glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);

glDrawArrays(GL_LINES, 0, 2);

Thanks for any help

GL_TRIANGLE_FAN might do what you want.
