EnvirGui displays all keys and values of an environment, so one can change them flexibly. Single number get displayed with an link::Classes/EZSlider::, pairs of numbers with an link::Classes/EZRanger::, and anything else is shown as an link::Classes/EZText:: (a text field).

|
|
g.object_((a: 1, b: \werty, freq: [500, 2000])); // put some things in

::
|
|
|
|
argument::object
|
|
the envir to display
|
|
|

|
|
the number of items to display. If an envir is given, and no num, num is envir.size.
|
|
|
|
argument::parent
|
|
the parent view to display in; if none is given, a new window is created.
|
|
|
|
argument::bounds
|
|
the bounds within which to display; if none is given, bounds are calculated.
|
|
|
|
argument::makeSkip
|
|
flag whether to make a skipjack to manage updates of the envirgui.

|
|
|
|
method::envir
|
|
the envir displayed - actually an alias for object.

method::zone
|
|
the composite view the envirgui makes for itself
|
|
|
|
|
|
method::paramViews
|
|
the paramViews that display the values:
|
|
list::
|
|
## Single numbers appear in an link::Classes/EZSlider::,

::
|
|
See link::Classes/ParamView:: for details.
|
|
|
|
method::specs
|
|
a local dictionary of the specs used for display ranges of numerical parameters by the paramViews of this envirgui. See the link::#-getSpec:: method for details.
|
|
|
|
method::editKeys
|
|
the keys of the currently displayed items in the dict.
|
|
|
|
method::keysRotation
|
|
if the size of envir exceeds numItems, the keys displayed can be rotated: e.g. with 10 keys displayed on 5 paramViews, keysRotation 0 means show keys (0..4), keysRotation 2 means show keys (2..6), etc.

code::
|
|
g.name_("Yoohoo");
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
method::getSpec
|
|
For editing, numerical parameters need control specs for the ranges on the gui. These can be set locally in the EnvirGui, or global specs will be looked up. If no local or global specs exist for that parameter name, getSpec makes a usable guess for them. (With JITLibExtensions, one can also look up specs attached to an object such as a proxy.)
|
|
|
|
code::
|
|
// inline example
|
|
g = EnvirGui.new; g.parent.alwaysOnTop_(true);
|
|
g.getSpec(\freq, 400); // \freq exists as global spec, so use that
|
|
g.object_((freq: 150));
|
|
|
|
g.getSpec(\iFrek, 500); // no global spec, so make a new one:
|
|
// exponential from val * 0.05 to val * 20;
|
|
g.specs; // and keep it here
|
|
g.envir.put(\iFrek, 500);
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
argument::key
|
|
the parameter name for which to find a spec
|
|
|
|
argument::value
|
|
the current value of that param, which is used when guessing specs.
|
|
|
|
method::putSpec
|
|
add a spec for a given key, or (if it is a global key) override a global spec with a local one:
|
|
|
|
code::
|
|
// set a desired range and warp:
|
|
g.putSpec(\iFrek, [10, 1000, \exp]);
|
|
g.putSpec(\freq, [10, 1000, \exp]);
|
|
g.specs;
|
|
g.putSpec(\freq, \freq);
|
|
|
|
// specs are remembered when object changes
|
|
g.putSpec(\freq, [10, 1000, \exp]);
|
|
g.object_((freq: 200, iFrek: 20));
|
|
|
|
// if needed, clear specs by hand when switching objects
|
|
g.specs.clear; g.object_((freq: 200, iFrek: 20));
