Subject: [PD-dev] adding a built-in [change] object to the built-in GUI

Lots of patches use the built-in GUI objects for displays, and often a fast
stream of events is hooked straight up to the GUI object, causing the GUI
object
to send many pointless updates, like draw commands when the number hasn't
changed, or multiple draw commands per screen refresh cycle.
The multiple draw commands per screen refresh cycle seems like the more common
source of needless draw commands.
That should be addressed too, but that's a lot more complicated. Honestly, I
think it would be better to rewrite the basic GUI objects from scratch rather
than put more into the current ones.
I propose to only send the GUI update commands when the relevant value has

thought there could be any problems caused by this
At the end of hslider_set, why not just check if x-x_value==(int)(100.0*g +
0.4)
before assigning it? If its already equal just return.

Stuff like hyperlinks. :) if hyperlinks is the criterion, then i don't see any problems with tcl/tk. It's not a binary matter. It's a question of whether I can describe a hyperlink with the tools that tcl/tk provides and not have to spend the same amount of time as I would in c to implement them. Specifically-- tags in a tk canvas are per item while its the opposite in tk text widget. This isn't a difference between defaults for widgets, but incompatibility between them. It means in a canvas you can't easily set Enter/Leave events for a region made up of multiple polygons (which would require unmaintained tkzinc library), and alternately you can't easily define hyperlink Enter/Leave bindings in a text widget without ending up with accidental contiguous tag regions (two hyperlinks in a row, or one hyperlink above another on the next line). Wrt to the Browser2.0 plugin, the straightforward workaround of a proc that defines a new tag name for each hyperlink would probably end up having performance issues since that could potentially be 1000s of unique tags per search. My specific workaround isn't pretty and I can improve it some, but it's still going to suffer from this problem. -Jonathan fgasdmr IOhannes -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlC83a4ACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvRrYwCg4GEd95Nns/+NYfxLTBwLL02y VckAoNH7DA9MPFwGcpfGYAXNohrI7Q8k =0weM -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Pd-dev mailing list Pd-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev ___ Pd-dev mailing list Pd-dev@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
