Re: Slow characters visualization

Ferdinando and others, Recently I updated my Macros list with a number of new ones that use short names (3 or 4 chars) which have the ahead option set. After adding them I began to notice the sort of slowness you describe. I'm thinking it has to do with whatever is managing the type ahead capabili

Re: text2picture

just to elaborate on this point, scrolling a large SVG is much slower than PNG or BMP even if the results are exactly the same. > 2018/02/15 12:41、Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> のメール： > keeping a static SVG on screen creates a lot of unnecessary work for the > rendering engine

Re: text2picture

Hello, in the context of creating a visual representation of the data file, it is better to NOT use SVG but rather create a BMP (which is what JPR showed in his "DataAnalyzer") because you are just drawing simple squares. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format (why stress the SVG renderi

Re: Anyone using OBS Project?

Yes, I have taken a look at that, was hoping to build on the existing framework rather than bringing in another piece of software to learn and support ;-). However, that may be the route to take. Thank you Tim -- I appreciate your efforts. Mike On Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 3:40 PM, Timothy Penner wr

RE: Anyone using OBS Project?

Mike, Maybe checkout OBSRemote.com - they seem to have a websock implementation to control OBS. Maybe you can hook into that from 4D's HTTP commands (or low level TCP commands)? -Tim -Original Message- From: 4D_Tech [mailto:4d_tech-boun...@lists.4d.com] On Behalf Of Timothy Penner

Re: text2picture

Back then JPR had pure 4D code to build a PICT picture containing the desired text. Now, as PICT is obsolete, stick to SVG. It‘s pretty easy. HTH Ingo Wolf __ ViELMAC Ingo Wolf Rheinhessenring 53A D 55597 Wöllstein Tel. +49 (0)6703 3070320 Fax +49 (0)6703 3070321 e-Mail i...@vielmac.de > Am 14

RE: Anyone using OBS Project?

I thought OBS was used more for livestreaming, rather than for recording videos… I have never tried to control OBS from the CLI - maybe someone in their community has? I think there is a large community for OBS on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/obs/ <-- more updated https://www.reddit.com/r/

Re: text2picture

[JPR] Hi Jörg, Long time ago (maybe 20 years ago...), I wrote a 4D routine (not a plug-in) which was building a PICT in a BLOB, with QuickDraw pure code imbedded into a PICT. This doesn't work anymore since we had to say 'Goodbye an Thanks a lot' to QuickDraw. This is why I've given a replac

Re: Anyone using OBS Project?

Tim- Ideally, we will interact with OBS control the start and stop of the video, capture file name, etc. We have used alternate software in the past, controlling via LEP, using the Macintosh command line interface. The issue I'm running into is that OBS is open source, and documentation is rather

I have played with OBS a bit - not with 4D though... How are you planning to use OBS with 4D? -Tim ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options:
