Description
I’m putting together a test to show an lvgl behaviour/issue when you perform a hook drawing on an arc indicator in meter object when LV_EVENT_DRAW_PART_END event happens.
So, I created a simple meter with no style, needle or ticks but a moving green arc indicator with a fixed width that moves around the meter with an animation. So far so good.
What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?
STM32H645XI-Custom board
What LVGL version are you using?
8.3
What do you want to achieve?
Then I added an event to add a custom drawing on this arc by enabling LV_EVENT_DRAW_PART_END event. In the event callback, I drew another red arc with half-width the arc. (first half or second half or anywhere in between doesn’t matter). When I run the animation, it seems that not all essential drawing areas being refreshed (they are rendered I assumed)
What have you tried so far?
At this moment I tried two quick fixes to see what’s next:
1- Invalidate the whole meter area / object at the end of the callback
2- Invalidate dirty area at the end of animation callback
3- Use full refresh for the whole screen
Only solution 2 and 3 worked but I wanted to know, what’s the proper way to tell lvgl to update those dirty areas in the callback? Why invalidate functions doesn’t work in this scenario?
