|
|
The original, and most common spec (see link::Classes/Spec::). A ControlSpec is used by GUI sliders and knobs to specify the range and curve of the controls. ControlSpec may be used in many ways to map from linear 0..1 range to your desired range and back.
|
|
|
|
The most common way to create a ControlSpec is by
|
|
code::
|
|
anObject.asSpec // the object may be an array or a symbol
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
ClassMethods::
|
|
|
|
private::initClass
|
|
|
|
method::new
|
|
|
|
argument::minval
|
|
The minimum value of the range.
|
|
|
|
argument::maxval
|
|
The maximium value of the range.
|
|
|
|
argument::warp
|
|
a link::Classes/Warp::, a symbol (e.g. \lin or \exponential: Default value is \lin), or something else that returns a Warp when sent the message .asWarp. A CurveWarp is defined by a number.
|
|
|
|
argument::step
|
|
The smallest possible increment.
|
|
|
|
argument::default
|
|
The default value.
|
|
|
|
argument::units
|
|
The units, e.g. "hz". Used by some gui's as a unit label.
|
|
|
|
argument::grid
|
|
|
|
InstanceMethods::
|
|
|
|
method::map
|
|
Maps and constrains a strong::value:: between 0 and 1 to the range between minval and maxval.
|
|
|
|
method::unmap
|
|
Maps and constrains a strong::value:: between minval and maxval to the range between 0 and 1.
|
|
code::
|
|
g = ControlSpec(0.01, 2000, \exp, 0.1, 220, "Hz");
|
|
g.map(0.5); // convert from [0..1] to [0.01..2000]
|
|
g.unmap(1000); // convert from [0.01..2000] to [0..1]
|
|
|
|
// fore and back translation should be close to identical:
|
|
g.unmap(g.map(0.5));
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
method::clipLo
|
|
The lower of maxval and minval.
|
|
|
|
method::clipHi
|
|
The higher of maxval and minval.
|
|
|
|
method::constrain
|
|
Returns code::value.asFloat.clip(clipLo, clipHi).round(step)::.
|
|
|
|
method::range
|
|
Returns code::maxval - minval::.
|
|
|
|
method::guessNumberStep
|
|
Used for EZ GUI classes for guessing a sensible strong::step:: if none is specified.
|
|
|
|
Examples::
|
|
|
|
code::
|
|
g = ControlSpec(0.01, 2000, \exp, 0.1, 220, "Hz");
|
|
|
|
// or alternatively
|
|
|
|
[0.001, 2000, \exp, 0.1, 220, "hz"].asSpec;
|
|
|
|
// or add it to the ControlSpec.specs IdentityDictionary:
|
|
|
|
ControlSpec.specs[\myFreq] = ControlSpec(0.01, 2000, \exp, 0.01, 440, units: "Hz");
