Graphics stops drawing after a certain number of calls

See original GitHub issue

Expected Behavior

Graphics should be able to draw as much as requested.

Current Behavior

Graphics stops after a certain number of calls.

Possible Solution

Split the calls into a number of graphics calls.

Steps to Reproduce

create a new Graphics object
in a loop, draw thousands of rectangles
notice that Graphics stops drawing new rectangles after a certain number of calls (i think this depends on your hardware)

Environment

pixi.js version: _e.g. 5.0.3
Browser & Version: _e.g. Chrome 80
OS & Version: OSX 10.14.6
Running Example: https://codepen.io/ferguillaume/pen/pmdKVw (found in this issue)

I’m trying to build a hexagonal grid tilemap with overlapping tilesets. After abandoning a sprite-per-hex approach, I tried to implement chunking with Graphics using beginTextureFill but then I realized that I wouldn’t be able to have overlaping tiles outside of each chunk since each chunk would be its own texture (Unity seems to have this issue too, which makes me think chunking is impossible for this use case). This means I have to have a single Graphics call for the entire map. But I discovered that there’s an undocumented maximum call limit.

I tried sharing GraphicsGeometry instance across multiple Graphics objects, but that had no effect on this limit.

Is there a way around the limit?

No, this will be in v5.3.0. If you need a hack, use this.
