Is anyone using the 'relocate' message to move/resize
windows in Pd? I ask because I want to simplify that
code and the message itself in pd-gui-rewrite 0.43.
Its currently a very strange format, and it no longer needs
to be.
Here's the only working example that I know of:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/doc/additional/pd-msg/1.msg_and_patch/6.relocate_windows..pd?view=log
The idea is to make the message like this:
"relocate WIDTHxHEIGHT+XLoc+YLoc"
Currently its like this:
"relocate WIDTHxHEIGHT+0+0
0x0+XLoc+YLoc"
.hc
Hi Hans,
Is there a reason the message can't simply be "relocate WIDTH
HEIGHT
XLoc Yloc"? Whether using pd-ext or vanilla, I've always thought
it seems
really awkward to cram the coordinates into one big symbol.

Hmm, that makes sense. I wonder if this should just have the same
syntax as 'canvas', so:
relocate x1 y1 x2 y2
Where x is the upper left corner, and y is the lower right corner.
So I restored the old relocate message, and added a new message which
the GUI now uses a new message 'whxy'. 'whxy' stands for Width/Height/
X/Y. Width/Height is the size of the window, and (x,y) is where the
upper-left corner is located:
whxy width height xPosition yPosition
whxy 450 300 0 22
I am now thinking that perhaps I should make it called 'setbounds'
after the old internal function, and make it mirror that:
canvas_setbounds(x, xpos, ypos, xpos + width, ypos + height);
i.e. "setbounds Xleft Ytop Xright Ybottom"
.hc
