Re: [sc-users] limit window constraints?




Hi Chad

I had completely forgotten about GUI.pen.string.

It's just the idea of drawing strings that should be static 24 times per second that I don't like.

I think I'll wait with this as Charles has already implemented onResize for Window.

cheers

Thor,

I didn't create my own font--I'm just using Pen's string methods:
(
w = GUI.window.new;
v = GUI.userView.new(w, w.view.bounds).background_(Color.yellow).resize_(5);
v.drawFunc = {
	8.squared.do({ arg i; GUI.pen.stringAtPoint("monkey",
		(v.bounds.width/8 * (i % 8))@(v.bounds.height/8 * (i div: 8))
	) });
};
w.front;
bench({v.drawFunc}).asFraction
)

This admittedly simple example takes around 1/500,000 of a second to
run on my macbook. It seems like a similar approach could work for the
Spectrogram window.

As far as I know, the only way to re-scale the text on the left in the
Spectrogram window would be to draw the text with Pen and
algorithmically lay it out depending on the window bounds. That's what
I do in my app.

Which app is that?
But have you benchmarked how much processing it takes to draw
that? In Spectrogram I'm drawing 24 frames per second and I'd rather
not draw text with Pen. (the thought of it makes me dizzy anyway : )
did you create your own font?)


My little resize control doesn't address anything like
that. It's just a one-trick pony--lets you set limits on the size of
the window--for certain windows.

I know. I was just pointing out that there is a need for looking at this in
Window.

As for the drawHook, it's just there to draw the diagonal lines in the
control. You could do it without the drawHook--just remove the Pen
stuff and set the background of the SCUserView to a color that
contrasts with the window background so the user can see to click in
the corner.

I wasn't talking about the drawHook in your code. I was pointing out that if you want to rearrange a window on its resize, you can't do it properly
unless
putting things into a drawHook, thus my suggestion of .onResize({})

If you check the SpectrogramWindow Quark, you'll see what I mean. The
frequencies
on the left (StaticText) cannot be rearranged on resize. Or at least I
can't
see the
way to do that.
