How can I fill a circle in libgdx?

using the ShapeRenderer class, I can only fill rectangles.

  • So how can I fill a circle?
  • and if possible, fill a sector (portion of a circle)?
Solution

  • As in the example of the shaperender

     shapeRenderer.begin(ShapeType.Filled);
 shapeRenderer.setColor(0, 1, 0, 1);
 shapeRenderer.rect(x, y, width, height); // fills a rect
 shapeRenderer.circle(x, y, radius);//<--- fills a circle
 shapeRenderer.end();

    should fill the circle. How to get a portion of a cicle i have no clue. Maybe create a mesh and fill it or such like that. Take a look at the shaperender there are differnet methods to fill parts. Just check if some of them fit.
