Radial Gradient not working

[MatijaBrown]

The title says it all:
When running following code, no gradient appears inside the rectangle.

        nvgRect(vg, 900, 100, 300, 500);
        nvgFillPaint(vg, nvgRadialGradient(vg, 1050, 350, 100, 200, nvgRGBAf(1, 0, 0, 1), nvgRGBAf(1, 1, 0, 1)));
        nvgFill(vg);

Is there a reason for this? Am I doing something wrong?
Anyway, have a good day.

I tried out your code and got this after I did one weird trick, that I am gonna share with you.

Trick: I went into the nanovg demo and checked how it's supposed to be done by searching for nvgRadialGradient.

And how do you suppose I got this nvgRadialGradient(vg, 1050, 350, 100, 200, nvgRGBAf(1, 0, 0, 1), nvgRGBAf(1, 1, 0, 1)) in the first place? I looked at the demo - and other demos I found. To be precise, I used the following example to find the radial gradient code:

(scroll down to find it).

I am not clairvoyant and don't know what you did. But if you copy/paste the code from the demo and don't reorder it or leave crucial parts out, it will work.

Well, that is all the rendering code I'm running per frame apart from calling nvgBeginFrame(vg) and nvgEndFrame(vg) - so it should work. (I have tried moving the rectangle about as well, the paint is definitely not there!)

You're missing `nvgBeginPath(vg)` before the rect.

Well thank you for the answer. I have no idea if I really did forget it, at least I can't remember, but the code is long gone now.
Might as well have been the problem though. (but doesn't it usually work for the first render without nvgBeginPath(vg)?, as far as I know EndFrame clears the path cache?)
