When constructing a vector that is an ellipse, I am getting this warning message in LogCat:
W/OpenGLRenderer: Points are too far apart 4.000000
I am interested in knowing what exactly this means. I noticed in the AOSP that there is a drawArc Method that throws this warning, however, it does not give a clear representation of what exactly is meant. Do I need to adjust my vector drawables? Will I see any future errors or drawing mistakes from these warnings? How can I get these warnings to subside?
The warning "Points are too far apart" means the "A" path command specifies an ellipse that's too small to form an arc between the endpoints. To handle this, the drawArc method enlarges the ellipse's size so that it can adequately form an arc between the endpoints. To avoid the warning, you have to avoid such problematic "A" commands.
For example, the following path (specifying a 1x1 ellipse that's too small to go through the endpoints) will trigger this warning:
M10 10 A 1 1 0 1 1 5 5
While the following path (specifying a 10x10 ellipse with the same endpoints) will not:
M10 10 A 10 10 0 1 1 5 5
