Default Problem with knobs ?

Hello Lokasenna,

Thanks a lot for the library, it is being an enormous help.

I am running into a problem when I try to add a knob, I am not sure how to make min and max values work with regards to the ticks shown. It looks as if the tick labels are taken from the number of steps always starting at 0.

GUI.New("n_notes", "Knob", 1, 50, 50, 40, "Notes", 1,10,10,2,1)

I would expect ticks to go from 1 to 10, and default value to be at number 2, but it might well be that I am misunderstanding it's use.

I am using the library just downloaded from https://github.com/ReaTeam/ReaScript.../Lokasenna_GUI

Thank you again,
Benigno.

You're using it correctly - that's a bug. Fixed now (I think), you'll just have to redownload the Knob class file.

Default Problem with knobs - Solved

Hello, thanks a lot, it works quite nicely as expected.

I am finishing a little plugin to create ear training exercises using your GUI, is there any place where you want to be notified of these things ? I suppose this thread is not the best place, but didn't really know where to ask.

Thanks a lot,
Benigno.

For text can offer this script
I used it only for testing chunks, but it supports any ASC2 text.
The code is a bit ugly, but understandable enough.
In fact - it's a very-very simple text editor.
It supports large files. It supports selection, copying, pasting, and so on. Many functions can be very easily added. I just do not have time for this.

Default Right click selecting

Hi!

I have this senario:
When I left click in a listbox the item get selected and in a frame
some text is shown. When I right click in my listbox I get a dropdown-
menu BUT the item in listbox dont get selected.

How can I select an item in listbox when I right click?

AND is it possible to change color on selected item?

- Wrong thread. :P

- You could have the right-click method call the left-click method at the end, I think. Haven't tried.

Code:
function GUI.elms.my_listbox:onr_mouseup() -- or whatever the method is called, I forget

    ... do stuff...

    self:onmouseup()

end

I am trying to edit the image demo to allow image resizing. It's working so far but only for the switches, which have only 2 images. My knobs and sliders are a little tweaky. So I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong.

So I'm looking at the slider code, and wondering where the '63' comes from?
Code:
local frame = (curstep / steps) * 63	
	
	GUI.img(x, y, w, w, frame, GUI.images.knb)
well, and just in case someone can help, here is my new code for GUI.img. I had to add a framecount argument, so I can divide the image up properly, rather than assuming it's already the desired height... and I imagine that's where my error is.

Code:
-- Draw the specified frame from a given image buffer
local function img(x, y, w, h, step, buffer, framecount)
    framecount = framecount or 1
    local img_w,img_h = gfx.getimgdim(buffer)
    local frame_h = img_h / framecount
	gfx.mode = 0
	local img_y = frame_h * step
	gfx.blit(buffer, 1, 0, 0, img_y, img_w,frame_h, x, y, w, h)

end
GUI.img = img
I think that framecount is the same as 'steps', right? or am I confused?

Oh boy, it's been a while since I wrote this. Let's see...

63: The slider image I used has frames 32px tall, and there are twice as many as the script needed so I had it only use every second frame.

framecount: My code assumes that you're just using the image at the original size, since I didn't like how Reaper's resizing algorithm looked. step is the frame to grab, given a frame size of w,h.

I should probably apologize for how rough and sloppy that code is. The GUI has gone through three or four complete overhauls between what I had in this tutorials and what's on ReaPack, and the image functions were left behind a long time ago.

If and when you get images working nicely with the current version, though, I'd definitely be interested in adding them again. I've been slowly rewriting these tutorials, so eventually I might get as far as images and come up with some updated code myself.

well, I'll see how ambitious I get. I may try and dig into the newer stuff. I'm actually quite happy this code is as old and tiny as it is. I feel comfortable getting around in it, and I'm not far from getting it to work.

I do tend to avoid resizing, but thought I should figure out how to do it anyway. I typically create controls at the size I want to use them. Since I'm using a touch screen live, I can really only use buttons, sliders and knobs, but mostly buttons. and everything has to be big.

I did get a multi-row option matrix working, which is something I like to use with my touchscreen. Here it is with some really grim resizing going on!

Sexy.

I really have to recommend against using the older library versions, especially the one given here.

- There are a lot of major bugs. I'm not aware of any bugs in the current version, but they get fixed pretty quick when someone finds one.

- The drawing is about as inefficient as you can possibly get - it redraws everything on every frame. The current version stores all of the element layers in gfx buffers and only redraws individual layers when they ask for it.

- This one isn't on ReaPack, so you'd have to distribute and maintain it (read: fix bugs) yourself.

- The current version comes with a bunch of documentation and example scripts, so getting started is still super easy.

Once you've got your image code the way you like it, let me know and I'd be happy to help you port it over.

okay, yeah, I imagine there are non-obvious reasons not to stick with this code. But it's only for me. I think the use-case is a little too specific....

although maybe not, I'll think about that. I've never managed to get my setup polished and bug-free enough to consider subjecting anyone else to it.

Anyway... I think if you were to integrate this code into your gui you might want to make it compatible with the LBX gui widgets. There are many hundreds of images and corresponding control files that have been created for the stripper.

I'm sure he's got all that code nailed as well, but searching through 67,000(!) lines to find it seems harder than actually writing it!

but here is the format of his KNB files:

Code:
{{
["ctltype"]=0,
["fn"]="KM2016_SimpleBigKnobSatGreen_40-128fr.png",
["cellh"]=40,
["frames"]=128,
},
}
looks like he is supporting vertical strips same as you... everything seems fairly obvious, except for 'ctltype'. I'm sure if you know Lua better than I do, it's trivial to parse this, but I'm still way in the Lua shallow end.

Yeah, an interesting idea, but after looking into it, wildly impractical for me to attempt.

I'll stick with the images demo and whatever bugs it brings for now!

cheers,

Well, after I wrote this I stumbled on the readme in the gui developer.... and I realized I'll need a few custom components to do what I really want.

So.... guess I'm going to try to dive in. Writing a custom UI element is something I've always been intimidated to do, even after 2 years as a Java Swing developer (and that was a good while ago too.)

But I'm going to dive in. Expect some dumb questions here

There's a blank class template in there somewhere, and it's basically all just event handling. Let me know if you need a hand.

well, I'm starting with something stupidly simple, just to get familiar with where things are in the code.

But I can't get it to work. I'm trying to update the color of the frame in the first example (where the pan updates by track) based on the color of the track.

I'm using:
Code:
local trackColor = reaper.GetTrackColor(tr)
GUI.elms.frm_track.fill = hex2rgb(trackColor)
I've also tried .bg and .color (Edit: okay, I see, fill is a boolean, bg is just under text)

I then went in and changed "faded" to "red" in the constructor, and that didn't even do anything.

So how do I change the background color??

Should be fill = true and color = "red". There isn't a separate frame vs. background color at the moment - Frame's properties were very much cobbled together as I wrote it, and a hypothetical GUI v3 would involve a huge rewrite for that class.

that's right. Not working here....

Code:
	Frame		name, 	z, 	x, 	y, 	w, 	h[, shadow, fill, color, round]


GUI.New("frm_track", "Frame",	2,	0, 0, 300, 128, false, true, "red", 0)
No red to be seen....

Just changed one word of the example -- "faded" to "red". Fill is already set to true.

I notice the label is also set to be red... don't see any red on that either.... oh, bg defaults to false, so that makes sense. Well, no, set bg to true, and still no red.

I think the problem is that you're using an old version of the GUI, and I've probably messed with Frame in the meantime.

If you've got ReaPack, install both the library and developer tools packages - they're always up to date.

Oh! I thought I had just downloaded them, but maybe I ended up working with an old version by mistake... I did mess about with it a year ago or so.

sorry!

EDIT: Working with 2 different computers... don't have reapack on this one yet. Have to get everything synched up....

Downloaded Reapack. Installed V2.

Took the same example Main,Z, and Methods, and changed frame color to red. fill is unchanged at true. still no change in the display.

Code:
-- NoIndex: true

--[[
	Lokasenna_GUI

- Using the Main loop to monitor and interact with things in Reaper
	- Using z layers and related functions to move elements around
	- Changing elements' methods for your own purposes

]]--

-- The Core library must be loaded prior to anything else

local lib_path = reaper.GetExtState("Lokasenna_GUI", "lib_path_v2")
if not lib_path or lib_path == "" then
    reaper.MB("Couldn't load the Lokasenna_GUI library. Please run 'Script: Set Lokasenna_GUI v2 library path.lua' in your Action List.", "Whoops!", 0)
    return
end
loadfile(lib_path .. "Core.lua")()

GUI.req("Classes/Class - Label.lua")()
GUI.req("Classes/Class - Slider.lua")()
GUI.req("Classes/Class - Frame.lua")()

-- If any of the requested libraries weren't found, abort the script.
if missing_lib then return 0 end




------------------------------------
-------- Data + functions ----------
------------------------------------


-- Pre-declaring this so every function has access to it
local tr


local function update_pan()
	
	reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value( tr, "D_PAN", GUI.Val("sldr_pan")/100 )
	
end

GUI.name = "Example - Main, Z, and Methods"

	-- passed on as a value. If we used a :, it would pass GUI.Slider

	update_pan()
	
end
function GUI.elms.sldr_pan:ondrag()
	GUI.Slider.ondrag(self)
	update_pan()
end
function GUI.elms.sldr_pan:onwheel()
	GUI.Slider.onwheel(self)
	update_pan()
end
function GUI.elms.sldr_pan:ondoubleclick()
	GUI.Slider.ondoubleclick(self)
	update_pan()
end

FWIW, I just installed the GUI libs and script you posted into a portable install of v5.941 on Win7 , and this is what I see,



Best of luck, I hope I can code in lua like this someday!

Just in case (to rule out that the path might still be pointing to an older version): what GUI version number is shown at the bottom right of the example window?

Just to make sure - in that particular example script, the frame is only displayed if you have no track selected. If there's a selected track you won't see it at all.

Very Well then.... Starting fresh. Most strange. My reaper was up to date, and the computer is only 7 months old.

Onward!

Oh missed that.... I'll bet that's the deal. All that installing for nothing.

EDIT: yup!

okay, now that I'm over that hurdle, I'd like to actually change it to the track color. I've tried this, in the main method:
Code:
local trackColor = reaper.GetTrackColor(tr)
        
        GUI.Msg("color"..trackColor)
        --GUI.elms.frm_track.color = "red"
        --GUI.color("frm_track", "red")
        
	
	-- If we don't have a track, hide the track elements
    -- and pop up a warning
The first commented line doesn't work, the second crashes the script. What syntax should I be using here?

I am getting track colors okay, looks like.

Reading further, looks like I need a table of values. But not sure what the reaper method is giving me. It's not showing up as hex in the console....

You have to specifically request a redraw for the element's z layer:

Code:
GUI.elms.frm_track.color = "red"
GUI.elms.frm_track:redraw()
GUI.Val is only for getting and setting the element's value - the frame's text, in this case. It does automatically prompt a redraw though.

As for the color, the format you need to give it is:

Code:
{R, G, B, A}
Any colors that are set before the GUI starts (GUI.Init) are given as 0-255, and any colors being set while the GUI is running use 0-1... when I first wrote everything, it made more sense to me that way. I apologize. :P

reaper.GetTrackColor returns an OS-dependent value because reasons, but you should be able to dump it straight into:
Code:
r, g, b = reaper.ColorFromNative( col )
I forget if that function corrects for it or not, but be aware that Linux (and Mac I think?) seem to store the colors as BBGGRR. For example, when I copied all of my Windows settings over to Linux I had to manually fix the colors in my SWS Auto-Color window because they were wrong.

Default Window placement win vs linux

Hi!

Is testing my script on windows again after some
coding on linux and find that the placement of
window is not the same. On linux I placed it
in middle and 300px down, but on windows the
window is placed up in the left corner. Changed
x and y code on win machine with notepad++ but
no change...

The script(beta) is public on Bitbucket, feel free to check it out:

https://bitbucket.org/TompaD/tompad_...st/src/master/

The things to do is word wrap in editor-box, and try to understand
how to release it in ReaPack.
