Dynamic Lighting - Circle Boundaries

Circles do not work with Dynamic Lighting. It's because of how they're mathematically drawn and how DL computes a light obstruction wall.

Brian said: I don't know exactly how the DL computation is handled, but it's worth noting that polygons (including squares/rectangles) and polylines are a series of line segments, while circles, ovals, and freehand drawings are  Bézier curves . (Freehand drawings use  quadraticCurveTo , while circles/ovals use  bezierCurveTo .) You can get some sense of why this might screw with the Dynamic Lighting calculation by looking at the structure of a Path object; see  API:Objects/Path#Oval_Paths . This would be why, yes. :) DL relies on line segments. If I recall correctly, we tried converting the circles into segments, but that was lagging down the process considerably. There's a sweet spot with how many segments you have on a Page before you reach a critical mass.
