Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jonathan Wilkes (jancsika1) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: tooltips part 3: the saga continues Initial Comment: Here's a new angle on the tooltips idea that adds three somewhat related functions to Pd: 1) "Autotips", available from the "Edit" menu. Parses help patches on the fly when the mouse enters an object/xlet. (Works the same with abstractions, too.) 2) Manual tips through a "tip" canvas method. 3) An "echo" canvas method, which just passes a message to a canvas without displaying it. (Useful in conjunction with the "get" method from my other patch, and probably other contexts as well.) It's all done with some canvas bindings in tcl and a few canvas methods, so neither t_class nor t_widgetbehavior is touched. However, if it's desirable to add <Enter> and <Leave> widgetbehaviors at a later date, it should be possible without changing any of the code in this patch. Hopefuly I "diff'd" correctly, against vanilla 0.43.0. (Works for me in Fedora 15...) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Wilkes (jancsika1) Date: 2011-09-26 12:58 Message: Have a look at the demo patch in the tar below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2011-09-26 12:54 Message: I got it to compile and run fine, I just never got the tooltips to show up. Edit Mode or not. Any tips there? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Wilkes (jancsika1) Date: 2011-09-26 12:08 Message: I left out a step in the help patch-- you must be in "Edit mode" for the autotips to work. This is purposeful-- I don't think transient popups should get in the way of audio, or whatever else is going on in the patch in "Run mode". However, you can get manual tips in both "Run mode" and "Edit mode". It's been awhile since I worked on this, so I just downloaded the source for pd-0.43 from Miller's website, did "patch -p1 <tips.diff" inside the pd-0.43-0 directory, and compiled-- and it works for me under Debian Wheezy x86_64. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Date: 2011-09-26 10:52 Message: I tried to get this working a while back, but had no luck. I'll try again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Wilkes (jancsika1) Date: 2011-08-01 01:25 Message: See tips-help.pd to see how they work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=478072&aid=3383472&group_id=55736 _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list Pd-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
