Hi everyone,

Just a message to say hello. I'm new to Livecode. First of all, please
apologize for my english, it's not my native language.

I am a computer scientist in an association that trains students for
working in some social profession.

I like "make and dev" and working with Livecode it's just a hobby for me. I
love learning and discovering new things and tools, that's why I am here.

Pleased to meet the community, I hope I will be able to read some of your
messages here.

Have a nice day,

Regards,

Guillaume

Stack offscreen solution

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Hi all. 

For those dealing with the stack appearing offscreen, here is a handy handler 
for moving the stack so that it is fully visible to the screen it belongs to. 
Note that the screen it belongs to is determined by the loc of the stack. Maybe 
this should be added to the Master Library? 

Bob S


on setWindowInScreen pStackName
   -- the stack rect
   put the rect of stack pStackName into tStackRect
   
   -- the rect of the screen the stack belongs to
   put the screen of stack pStackName into tScreenNum
   put line tScreenNum of the working screenrects into tScreenRect
   
   -- is stack within the screenRect
   
   -- Check for window off screen
   IF item 1 of tStackRect < item 1 of tScreenRect THEN \
 set the left of stack pStackName to item 1 of tScreenRect
   IF item 2 of tStackRect < item 2 of tScreenRect THEN \
 set the top of stack pStackName to (item 2 of tScreenRect + 42)
   IF item 3 of tStackRect > item 3 of tScreenRect THEN \
 set the right of stack pStackName to item 3 of tScreenRect
   IF item 4 of tStackRect > item 4 of tScreenRect THEN \
 set the bottom of stack pStackName to (item 4 of tScreenRect - 40)
   
   -- the new screenRect
   return the rect of stack pStackName
end setWindowInScreen

Sorry, a few artifacts from a previous version snuck in there. Here is the 
latest.

   put the rect of stack pStackName into tStackRect
   
   -- the rect of the screen the stack belongs to
   put the screen of stack pStackName into tScreenNum

Confirm sort container order...

[Paul Dupuis via use-livecode]

Hello,

I need a little help today wrapping my mind around something simple in 
LiveCode.


sort [{lines | items} of] container [direction] [sortType] [by sortKey ]

I have 3 columns of tab and cr delimited data. For example:

A B C
A A B
A B A
A A A
A A C

If I want to sort by col 1, then 2, then 3, I would reverse the sort 
statements. i.e.


sort lines of tData ascending text by item 3 of each
sort lines of tData ascending text by item 2 of each
sort lines of tData ascending text by item 1 of each

to end up with:

A A A
A A B
A A C
A B A
A B C

Is this "correct"? This is what the dictionary entry is referring to as 
a "stable sort"?


I just get this, but my mind is confusing me today.

That's correct. Here's something I do to sort the executionContexts:

# display grouped by object, then handler, then by line number and depth
sort numeric tProfiles by item 4 of each # depth
sort numeric tProfiles by item 1 of each # line number
sort tProfiles by item 2 of each # handler
sort tProfiles by item 3 of each # group by object


I just get this, but my mind is confusing me today.


Yeah. Not exactly intuitive.

A way I have always used was developed back in the HC days. Assuming you have 
your list in the variable “yourList" 

sort lines of yourList by word 1 of each & word 2 of each & word 3 of each


Nothing shows off the stable sort power of either HC or LC like that.

I am assuming here that there are spaces separating the chars in your list. The 
use of “words” will also delimit if those are tase instead of spaces. But the 
method is worth exploring…

I used single letters as an example, but my text is tab delimited and 
each cell is moderately long text.


I think using "word 1 of each & word 2 of each & word 3 of each" or 
"item 1 of each & item 2 of each & item 3 of each" concatenates all 3 
"cells" together and sort by that string of characters. I think this 
could result in an invalid sort order of, for example, item 2 started 
with words found at the end of some items 1's.

Paul.

So if you had the following list of words:

Ant Bat Chicken

Ash Arc Baton

Abacus aardvark Ax

Axle Apron Allspice

Africa Amazing Club


and ran the same line of code, you would get:

Abacus aardvark Ax

Africa Amazing Club

Ant Bat Chicken

Ash Arc Baton

Axle Apron Allspice


Is this what you meant, and intended?

Re: Confirm sort container order...

[Craig Newman via use-livecode]

Paul

I just reread your earlier post. Did you mean concatenating as if each line 
became a single long word? That would never do, of course, and is not how the 
line of code works.

Maybe this is easier to read:

ABC XYZ GGG

ACB XYZ GHH

ABC XYZ DEF

AAB XYZ GGG

AAC XYZ GHH

AAA XYZ DEF


gives

AAA XYZ DEF

AAB XYZ GGG

AAC XYZ GHH

ABC XYZ DEF

ABC XYZ GGG

ACB XYZ GHH


Each word is sorted in a stable way. The first word takes overall precedence. 
The second word takes second precedence and so on. There is no limit to the 
number of terms permitted in the code.

This is what I was referring to:

Input data: (note line 5)
ABE XYZ GGG
ACB XYZ GHH
ABC XYZ DEF
AAB XYZ GGG
AB D GHH
AAA XYZ DEF

sortlines oftText by word 1 ofeach & word 2 ofeach & word 3 ofeach

Gives:

AAA XYZ DEF
AAB XYZ GGG
ABC XYZ DEF
AB D  GHH
ABE XYZ GGG
ACB XYZ GHH

Note line 4 should come before line 3 as "AB" should sort before "ABC" 
but in the sort above it gets concatenated with the "D" in column 2 to 
form ABD which places it between ABC and ABE. The concatination can 
cause errors in the sort order depending upon the actual data being 
sorted. However, if you sort as follows:


  sort lines of tText by word 3 of each
  sort lines of tText by word 2 of each
  sort lines of tText by word 1 of each

You get it sorted correctly:

AAA XYZ DEF
AAB XYZ GGG
AB D  GHH
ABC XYZ DEF
ABE XYZ GGG
ACB XYZ GHH

Re: Confirm sort container order...

[Craig Newman via use-livecode]

Hmmm.

It isn’t that the “D” is concatenated onto the “ABC, (that would never happen)  
but rather that the word ”ABC” comes before “AB”, but only if there is a second 
word in each line:

ABC
AB

Sorts to

AB
ABC

———

BUT:

ABC XXX
AB XXX

sorts to:

ABC XXX
AB XXX

Not sure I get this.

Hi friends,

LC never ceases to surprise me and I love that!

1. In earlier versions setting the "playrate" of a player object to a different

unfortunately also changed the PITCH of the sound/movie.

Today I was delighted to find out that this is not the case anymore!
PITCH does not change anymore when setting the PLAYRATE!

If PITCH was a property value I could test and report, but as I 
understand what you are looking for is for someone to adjust the 
playRate and HEAR whether the pitch is changing and I doubt - with my 
bad hearing - I could tell if the PITCH was changing!

Re: playrate & templateimage

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

I’ve just tried LC 9.6.6 in Windows and playrate functions as 0 = stopped or > 
0 = playing normal rate. Tested by playing a wmv and a mp3. Entering in a 
positive number other than 1 causes it to pause for a second or two then start 
playing at normal speed.

Mac does do the “variable speed” with both mov and mp3.
