#lang scribble/manual @(require (for-label racket)) @title{EZKnob} Wrapper class for label, knob, number box@section{categories} GUI>EZ-GUI @section{related} Classes/Knob, Classes/NumberBox, Classes/StaticText, Classes/CompositeView, Classes/EZGui @section{description} EZKnob is wrapper class which creates an (optional) link::Classes/StaticText::, and a link::Classes/Knob:: plus a link::Classes/NumberBox::. If the parent is nil, then EZKnob will create its own window. See link::Classes/EZGui:: more options. @section{subsection} Some Important Issues Regarding NumberBox @section{warning} EZKnob replaces the EZKnob Quark, which is now called EZKnobOld. It is encouraged to update your code. The two classes have different creation methods and approaches, particularly concerning the strong::dimensions:: (now strong::bounds::). To make the conversion process easier, EZKnobOld has an instance method called convert which will post the equivalent creation code for the new EZKnob. :: @section{note} Bounds: Make certain to choose bounds that are large enough to encompass the knob, the number box, and the label (if you use one), otherwise you may get confusing results. See the examples below. :: @section{classmethods} @section{method} new @section{argument} parent The parent view or window. If the parent is nil, then EZKnob will create its own link::Classes/Window::, and place it conveniently on the screen if the bounds are a link::Classes/Point::. If the bounds are a link::Classes/Rect::, then the link::Classes/Rect:: determines the window bounds. @section{argument} bounds An instance of link::Classes/Rect:: or link::Classes/Point::. Default value is @racketblock[160@20::. Make certain to choose bounds that are large enough to encompass the knob, the number box, and the label (if you use one), otherwise you may get confusing results. See the examples below. ] @section{argument} label The label. Default value is nil. If nil, then no link::Classes/StaticText:: is created. @section{argument} controlSpec The link::Classes/ControlSpec:: for scaling the value. If the @racketblock[minVal + maxVal:: of the spec is 0, then ] @racketblock[centered:: will be set to true automatically. ] @section{argument} action A link::Classes/Function:: called when the value changes. The function is passed the EZKnob instance as its argument. @section{argument} initVal The value to initialize the knob and number box with. If nil, then it uses the link::Classes/ControlSpec::'s default value. @section{argument} initAction A link::Classes/Boolean:: indicating whether the action function should be called when setting the initial value. The default is false. @section{argument} labelWidth Number of pixels width for the label. default is 60. This is only valid for the @racketblock[\horz:: layout. ] @section{argument} knobSize An instance of link::Classes/Point::. It will adjust itself to maximize the space use of @racketblock[width/height::. By default, it uses the maximum available height, and adjusts the width accordingly. ] @section{argument} unitWidth Number of pixels width for the unit label. Default is 0. If 0, then no unitLabel is created. @section{argument} labelHeight Default is 20. @section{argument} layout @racketblock[\vert::, ] @racketblock[vert2::, ] @racketblock[\line2::, or ] @racketblock[\horz::. default is ] @racketblock[\vert::. ] @section{argument} gap A link::Classes/Point::. By default, the view tries to get its parent's gap, otherwise it defaults to @racketblock[2@2::. Setting it overrides these. ] @section{argument} margin A link::Classes/Point::. This will inset the bounds occupied by the subviews of view. @section{discussion} @racketblock[ ( w=Window.new.front; g = EZKnob( w, // parent 50@90, // bounds " test ", // label \freq, // controlSpec { |ez| (ez.value.asString ++" is the value of " ++ ez).postln } // action ); g.setColors(Color.grey, Color.white) ); // Simplest version, no parent view, so a window is created ( g = EZKnob(label:" test "); g.action_({ |ez| (ez.value.asString ++" is the value of " ++ ez).postln }); ); :: The contained views can be accessed via the EZKnob instance variables: ] @racketblock[labelView::, ] @racketblock[knobView::, ] @racketblock[numberView::. ] @section{instancemethods} @section{subsection} Accessing Instance Variables @section{method} numberView @section{Returns} the @racketblock[numberView:: ] @section{method} knobView @section{Returns} the @racketblock[knobView:: ] @section{method} labelView Set/get the @racketblock[labelView:: ] @section{method} action A function to be evaluated when the value changes. Te first argument will be the EZKnob. @section{argument} arg1 An instance of link::Classes/Function:: or link::Classes/Function@section{List} . Default value is @racketblock[nil::. ] @section{method} value The value of the knob @section{method} centered Sets/gets whether the knob is in centered mode. See link::Classes/Knob::. @section{method} round Rounds the values in the number box. @section{method} controlSpec An instance of link::Classes/ControlSpec:: for scaling the values. @section{method} value Gets/sets the list/menu to the index at value. Does not perform the action. @section{argument} val An link::Classes/Integer::. @section{method} doAction Performs the action at the current index and the global action. @section{method} set Set the args after creation. You can only set the label if it was not nil from the beginning. @section{method} visible Sets/gets if the component views are visible. @section{argument} bool An instance of link::Classes/Boolean::. Default is @racketblock[true::. ] @section{subsection} Changing Appearance @section{method} setColors @section{argument} stringBackground An instance of link::Classes/Color::. The @racketblock[background:: of the label and unit views. ] @section{argument} stringColor An instance of link::Classes/Color::. The @racketblock[stringColor:: of the label and unit views. ] @section{argument} numBackground An instance of link::Classes/Color::. The @racketblock[numColor:: of the number view. ] @section{argument} numStringColor An instance of link::Classes/Color::. The @racketblock[stringColor:: of the number view. ] @section{argument} numNormalColor An instance of link::Classes/Color::. The @racketblock[normalColor:: of the number view. ] @section{argument} numTypingColor An instance of link::Classes/Color::. The @racketblock[typingColor:: of the number view. ] @section{argument} knobColors An instance of link::Classes/Color::. The @racketblock[knobColors:: of the knob view. ] @section{argument} background An instance of link::Classes/Color::.
