Is anyone using the 'relocate' message to
move/resize
windows in Pd? I ask because I want
to simplify that
code and the message itself in
pd-gui-rewrite 0.43.
Its currently a very strange format, and
it no longer needs
to be.
Here's the only working example that I
know of:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/doc/additional/p...
The idea is to make the message like
this:
"relocate WIDTHxHEIGHT+XLoc+YLoc"
Currently its like this:
"relocate WIDTHxHEIGHT+0+0
0x0+XLoc+YLoc"
.hc
Hi Hans, Is there a reason the message can't
simply be "relocate WIDTH HEIGHT
XLoc Yloc"? Whether using pd-ext or
vanilla, I've always thought it seems
really awkward to cram the coordinates into
one big symbol..

Hmm, that makes sense. I wonder if this should
just have the same syntax as 'canvas', so:
relocate x1 y1 x2 y2
Where x is the upper left corner, and y is the
lower right corner.
So I restored the old relocate message, and added a
new message which the GUI now uses a new message 'whxy'. 'whxy' stands for Width/Height/X/Y. Width/Height is the size of the window, and (x,y) is where the upper-left corner is located:
whxy width height xPosition yPosition whxy 450 300 0 22
I am now thinking that perhaps I should make it called
'setbounds' after the old internal function, and make it mirror that:
canvas_setbounds(x, xpos, ypos, xpos +width, ypos + height);
i.e. "setbounds Xleft Ytop Xright Ybottom"
After a little discussion with Miller, this one seems to make the most sense, so this is what the pd-gui-rewrite uses now.

That's great. I think "setbounds" is a much better name than
"relocate"; it has a straightforward connection to the arguments (unlike
"relocate").Is there any way to have the iemgui messages "pos" and "delta" for canvases? For example, if I have a canvas with a bunch of subpatches that all have different sizes, but I want to move them all up to the top left-hand corner or the screen, "pos 0 0" would be really handy.
The first two values of 'setbounds' are the same as 'pos', they are
the upper left corner. But you have to also set the lower right
too. This message is not really meant to be used a lot externally.
Its really a direct mapping of the data that Tk gives to the format
that Pd saves in the .pd file. Plus 'setbounds' doesn't even take
effect until you close and open the patch again.
