Re: [XForms] How to do animated pixmap objects

[Serge Bromow]

Bonjour Francis,

I can't help with the buttons. Jens approach looks like the best solution.  With the VU meter this may help. I found an old app that allows a view of a section of a large map in a smaller canvas window. The routines are as follows;

FL_IMAGE *image, *tage;

// The large map is a jpeg.
flimage_enable_jpeg();

// Load the entire map into the canvas cv0
if( (image = flimage_load( file )) ){
    flimage_display(image, FL_ObjWin(fd_xs->cv0) );   
    }

// Duplicate the image in tage so we do not disturb the original image
tage = flimage_dup(image);
flimage_scale(tage, 800.0, 600.0, 0);

// display the scaled image on the canvas
flimage_display(tage, FL_ObjWin(fd_xs->cv0) );   
flimage_free(tage);

// to crop and display a section of the image, in your case the VU settings.
// flimage_crop(image[0], int xleft, int ytop, int xright, int ybottom);

tage = flimage_dup(image);
flimage_crop(tage, (int) bottom, (int) side, 0, 0);
flimage_display(tage, FL_ObjWin(fd_xs->cv0) );   
flimage_free(tage);

Using the "flimage_crop" you can display sections of your image to simulate meter movements. It seems quite responsive clipping an 2166x1368 base image into a 800x600 canvas. I would imagine it would be much faster with a smaller source image into an even smaller display canvas.

Just a thought,

Serge

Hi Xforms developers

 

I am working on a project of a remote audio mixing console using Xforms GUI

i would like to make graphical animated objects  like a rotary 5 postions button or analogic Vumeter based on pixmap include file. They are numerous...

i have explored  Xforms lib but i really  do not know how to do these animations.

 

By example , a 5 positions button 100*100 pixels, the associated pixmap is 100*500 pixels  (or  500*100) ..

and each sub-pixmap is a drawing of a position

first position display  x=0 y=0 of the pixmap 

2nd position                 x^0 y=100

3rd                                 x=0 y=200

--

and so on.

 

here is another example with a  2 positions button

i have written :

 

.#include "but1.xpm" // 2 state button image 64*128 pixel

--

obj=fl_add_pixmapbutton (FL_PUSH_BUTTON, 966, 300, 64, 64,  "" );

fl_set_pixmapbutton_data(obj, but_xpm );

fl_set_object_boxtype (obj, FL_NO_BOX);

----

it works and display a part of the pixmap

 

what i need is a set of  routines  that can offset  x or Y the displayed part of pixmap

maybe something like

 

fl_set_pixmapbutton_data2(obj, but_xpm, offset_x, offset_y )

 

and that work with routines like

 

fl_set_button_value(obj, val); and fl_ get_button_value

fl_set dial value(obj,val); and fl_get_dial_value

also the slider  and postionner

 

any idea  how to do this?

it seem complicated but will be great improvement of Xforms lib and there users.

 

Can you help me.

 

Best Regards

Francis,
