Since this would involve the GUI side only really, it should be
implemented as a plugin. One thing I'm planning on adding is a 'pd-
gui' receive, like the 'pd' receive, so you can send messages to the
GUI from pd. That is currently the only missing piece for
implementing this.
Like was said before, it won't be hard to implement in Tcl, post any
questions here and we can help get it working.

Is it possible to make these messages that can be sent to a canvas?
That's already the way one changes settings of a canvas (editmode, clear,
donecanvasdialog, etc.)Also, that way you could have a patch my-kiosk-thingy.pd, and when you open it you
could have all kinds of initialization settings, and a subpatch [pd gui]. When you get all
the init values set you can send [fullscreen 1( -- [s pd-gui] . Then you don't need to make
a new object [gui].-Jonathan

i think it's probably better to do this via a msg
so basically there would be commands like: gui-hide-menu gui-hide-scrollbar gui-hide- ... gui-canvas-fullscreen gui-hide-decortion
so basically you can put this into a subpatch and loadbang whichever
one you need ;)may it's better to implement this via gui object which you would send msgs to ..
[hide-canvas( | | [gui]
or we do this kind of stylie: [; pd-gui command(
?
i'm not sure which way is more practical ..

Hi,
just had a thought for a gui development: a runtime mode,
feasible for
demos or "finished" applications where the user only gets
presented with the
finished program, and no menus. In opera it's called kiosk mode ( http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/): all the menus
are hidden,
and the user should only interact with the program.
It doesn't have to go as far as opera's mode (and disable key
shortcuts),
but if it's not complicated, a "presentation mode" could be nice
for patch
showcase, finished performance patches or tools, ... As far as I imagine, some simple options might be enough:
- hide menus
- hide window lane
- hide borders
- fullscreen mode
Best,
João
Sounds good! Seems this is not supported in Tcl/Tk 8.3 but from 8.4 up it is. Which, according to current 'policy', predestines it to be a
plugin (?),
actually a very simple one. Shall be bind to F11!
Provided this fullscreen feature, (how) do want to be able to
scroll the
canvas? I suppose we just keep the scrollbars...?
