[Protux-devel] Peak building/drawing question

[Remon Sijrier]

Hi all,

I made (as you know) some optimizations to the peak build process.
But I have a few questions:

1. In macro view, only the upper side of the waveform is painted. I inverted 
the negative part of the waveform, so it is painted at the upper side of the 
x-axis. But this is NOT the actual waveform. If it is not converted, but set 
to zero, it looks like if there is no signal, which is of course not true.
The question is: should the negative values be painted at the upper side of 
the x-axis, or set to zero?

2. The other question isn't a quesion actually :).
The peak files are much to large (about 1/8 of the actual audioFileSize). I 
changed the primitive type, so the peak buffers are now made with "char" 
instead of "short", reducing the peakfile and buffersize with a factor 2.
If there are no objections to this change, I will upload it within a few 
hours. Peakfiles made with an older version of the peak build proces do not 
work then anymore. Simply delete them, so they are regenerated. (Well, that 
should be the case).

Thanks,

Remon
