Masking an LVGL Object with LV_CIRCLE_RADIUS

Description

Intent is to take a base object with a circle radius

And render another object as a child of that widget

This all works fundamentally okay, but the child object, when placed over a corner of the parent circle, will render outside of the circular area.

What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?

ESP32-S3, ESP-IDF4.4

What LVGL version are you using?

LVGL@8.2

What do you want to achieve?

How can I prevent obj2 from rendering in the original rectangular bounding box, and instead only render inside of the circular object?

What have you tried so far?

Changing opacity of different parts of parent object, removing border

Code to reproduce


lv_obj_t obj = lv_obj_create(lv_scr_act());
lv_obj_set_style_radius(obj, LV_RADIUS_CIRCLE, LV_PART_MAIN);

lv_obj_t obj2 = lv_obj_create(obj);

Screenshot and/or video

In this example, it is instead a parent object with a child image. The image overhangs off the circular parent, but can clearly see where the image meets the rectangular border – how can I force a child to only render within the circular space of the parent?

Have not found a solution to this yet

Hi,

I got the same issue. At the moment I put the object in question on a canvas and draw the pixels transparent, that I want to be “masking” the part of the object, but that solution is slow and tedious. There should be a solution with lvgl-masking I guess. Hope we can figure something out.
