Managed DirectX9 Drawtext behind object - directx

I use the drawtext method to create labels on a grid. Works perfectly - but they are always in front of the mesh im showing in the grid.
Is there a possibility to render it behind the mesh that its not visible inside the object?
Seems like drawtext uses no depth buffer:-(

Try disabling the z-buffer:
Device.SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE,FALSE)

Is my webgl FBO color attachment being cleared?

I'm trying to render something to texture using a library called regl. I manage to render an effect using two render targets and i see the result in one.
Capturing the frame after i've done rendering to the target looks like this, and it represents a screen blit (full screen quad with this texture). This is how i would like this to work.
Once i pass this to some other regl commands, in some future frame, this texture attachment seems to get nuked. This is the same object that i'm trying to render with the same resource, but the data is gone. I have tried detaching the texture from the FBO, but it doesn't seem to be helping. What can i be looking for that would make this texture behave like this?
This ended up being a problem with Regl and WebViz. I was calling React.useState to set the whatever resource that regl uses for the texture. For some reason, this seems like it was invoked, which "resets" the texture to an empty 1x1.

How to draw Multi-styled text using Konva?

I am now using KonvaJS.
I know Text draws text. But it accepts only one style.
Here's my code to render text.
And I want to make Konva color to red and others green.
You can do live coding here
Currently, that is not possible with Konva. To resolve your issue you can:
Use several instances of Konva.Text with different styles
Use custom Konva.Shape and draw all text manually with native canvas access

What is the easiest way to draw line in absolute layput vaadin?

After creating absoluteLayout object what is the easiest way to draw line between two objects in that?
I would recommend not to use absoluteLayout for drawing lines, but instead one of the Canvas addons:
https://vaadin.com/directory#!addon/canvas
https://vaadin.com/directory#!addon/canvas-plus
Depending of your use-case you also want to draw whatever you are drawing directly in the client and not from the server.
For your question is very limited I can't give you more guidance.
If you still want to use absoluteLayout and drawing lines, you should go with a simple div-element (you could for example add an empty Label or whatever) and style it via CSS so it looks like a line. You won't be able to "connect" your two objects easily, though - use a canvas for that purpose.

iOs draw an intereactive map

I need to draw an interactive map for an iOs application. For example it can be the map of the US showing the states. It will need to show all the states in different colors ( I'll get this from a delegate colorForStateNo: ) It will need to allow the user to select a state by touching it, when the color will change, and a "stick out" effect should be shown, maybe even a symbol animated to appear over the selected state. Also the color of some states will need to change depending on external events. This color change will mean an animation like a circle starting in the middle of the state and progressing towards the edges changing the color from the current one to the one inside the circle.
Can this be done ,easily in core-graphics? Or is it only possible with Open GL ES? What is the easiest way to do this? I have worked with core graphics and it doesn't seem to handle animation very well, I just redraw the entire screen when something needed to move... Also how could I use an external image to draw the map? Setting up a lot of drawLineToPoint seems like , a lot of work to draw only one state let alone the whole map ...
You could create the map using vector graphics and then have that converted to OpenGL calls.

EDIT: The link applies to C++, but you may be able to find a similar solution.

XNA draw / paint onto a Texture2D at runtime

Morning all (if its morning where you are)
I have been looking around and have not seen a satisfactory method for doing this so thought I would ask around...
Ideal world I would like to be able to generate a transparent Texture2D object. Drawing this to the screen I would like to be able to "paint" to it, i.e. when the left mouse button is down whatever pixel the cursor is over should be set to black. Following this I would then need to be able to use this texture.
Using the texture is the easy part, we can simply make a new Texture2D attribute for a "painting" object and use that in the SpriteBatch.Draw method. The two tricky parts are
Generating a texture2D object of a specified size, filled with transparency in code.
Editing that texture2D on the fly (i.e. being able to alter pixel colours)
If anyone has any experience of these you input would be very much appreciated.
You can either use a RenderTarget2D (MSDN), which is itself a Texture2D (so you can use it in SpriteBatch.Draw). This allows you to render onto a texture in the same way you render onto the screen. You need to use GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget (MSDN) to set this up.
Or you can use Texture2D.SetData (MSDN) to manipulate pixels directly. You can construct a transparent Texture2D directly (MSDN). Don't forget to Dispose of any textures or other resources you create yourself!
