Mesh in UI

[andrewbaxter]

I have some vector elements I want to include in my UI - boxes for text, scoreboards, etc. I created a MaterialMesh2dBundle in a NodeBundle but nothing's getting rendered. I've googled around but haven't been able to find anything relevant. How can I achieve this?

Can you add minimal reproducable example, which shows how exactly you are trying to mix meshes and Nodes?

[andrewbaxter]

I don't have a minimal example offhand, but are you saying this is expected to work? If so I'll try to come up with a minimal example.

I'm not saying this is expected to work, I'm saying that for using Node's tree we use NodeBundle with defined style (which could be default, but there IS style for each node), UiSurface uses this style for rendering. I don't understand how could you set MaterailMesh2dBundle as Node with style set. Or you just spawn as simply bundle hoping for the best?

I just wanted to ask what exactly you did.

Ah, I see. I did

commands.spawn_empty().insert(NodeBundle{...}).with_children(|commands| {
    commands.spawn_empty().insert(MaterialMesh2dBundle{
        mesh: Mesh2dHandle(meshes.add(Circle { radius: 50.0 })),
        material: materials.add(Color::BLUE),
        .. Default::default()
    });
});

roughly.
