[Feature Request] Support for rendering as wireframe

[Fancy2209]

Hello, on air, context3d has a function called setFillMode that can be set to WIREFRAME to render everything as wireframes rather than filled polys, could an option to do this be added to starling?

Hey there!
I considered this back in the day, but the problem was that the lines use the same shaders / colors etc. as do the filled polygons. And in Starling, very many of the objects are transparent at the edges; so you don't see most of the lines.

Thus, I figured this feature is tailored more towards 3D engines, where polygons are typically textured differently.

... but if you've got a reason for adding this that I didn't think about - I'm all ears. 😁

Cheers,
Daniel

I mostly wanted this so I could show a visualization of the difference between rendering a vector in a Canvas or in a Sprite as a Texture, but if this is too much trouble i don't mind it not beeing added
