The attached allows the 50x30 polygon to be click-dragged anywhere within the polygon-- basically ds hotspots happen in a 10x10 quadrant
within
the polygon when an x/y pair is specified with a field variable, so I'm
forcing
hotspots for the entire polygon by spacing all field value coordinates no
more
than 10 pixels from each other. (You can overlay a simpler polygon if you
want
a cleaner-looking control surface.)
That's a lovely demo Jonathan. The small squares have their own esthetic. This approach is less hacky than my moving radiobuttons. Do you use it in practice, as GUI elements? It is very heavy on cpu.
I've used scalars with a single rectangle as the visual element-- however, just mousing around it looks like numberbox, vradio, my scalars from the demo, and a simple filled rectangle can all cause large cpu jumps when displacing or moving.
How does the cpu usage in my demo compare to your patch where you use a radiobutton?
In practice, I've actually used arrays of scalars for a little video game, but the sound was secondary.
