Yes, that’s what I am going for and that is the problem.
For the complex image, I am capable of drawing an opaque, colored star with ShapeStim like this:
However, when I use the vertices of the star ShapeStim as the aperture.shape, I get the following (ignore color and pattern differences):
You can vaguely see the 12 vertices being represented, but obviously the shape of the aperture is not understanding the vertex array in the same way as ShapeStim.vertices is.
Thank you for the thread reference listed at the bottom. Working on implementing something like that now (but am still all ears if another suggestion is provided).
