Hallo!
Transparency is indeed valuable for visual feedback. (Actually I'm wishing we can have nice real-time blurring one day so that that could also be used for visual feedback.
what do you mean with real-time blurring ?
widget is the same, each object has a stacking order. I guess what your saying is the ability to add things like "raise" and "lower" to change the stacking? Damn this could be handy for putting a canvas in the
yes ...
background "send to back" actually this is totally doable in tcl/tk, I never thought of it. Is this worth pursuing even for Miller's gui?
yes - at least I need it quite often ...
Interesting to do the interpolation state-saving in the GUI part only. I suppose this would lead to some lack of flexibilty if we wanted to change the type of interpolation from the PD engine side.. based on midi controllers or something... hmmm
yes - I also don't know if it's a good idea ...
Talking to Matieu and Chrisian on IRC I was thinking it would be great to have a human readable interface between the GUI and PD. Rather some middle ware that would convert the fast internal format to something that would be useful for dynamic scripting (ala dyn, pd messages) but also odd stuff like HC's serindipidy, converting webforms directly to a patch creation, all that magic glue.. making custom (installation specific) interfaces to PD easier and as powerful as the GUI itself.
good idea - this would require something like a scripting language between the GUI and PD ? (I think I can remember a similar discussion some time ago ... and I think tim said this would be too slow ... )
