the arguments for the guis are slightly different. the slider has width, height, bottom, top, but then also lin/log, init/noinit, send, receive, name, x_off, y_off, font, fontsize, back-, front-, label-color. then there is one, i do not knowe, what it is (0) and the

very

last seems to be the steady/jump flag. the three flags can be set by 0 or 1. if you open a patch with a text-editor you can always check the correct syntax. hdial, for example, which is called hdl, has size, newonly/new&old, init, fields, send, receive, labelname, x-off,

y-off,

font, fontsize, ... sÜme

hi,

i just undertanded how to build dynamicly (thnx CK) in PD, but... (win2k, pd0.35-23)

when this works: [obj 30 10 toggle 10 1 1t-s 1t-r empty 0 0 0 10 1 2 3 0( (makes a toggle with "all" properties set)

and this don't: [obj 10 10 vslider 32 64 1 32 1s-s 1s-r empty 0 0 0 10 1 2 3 0( (makes a slider but no properties set)(am i missing something?)

is there any comprehensive info on dynamicly building and setting

properties

toggles,slider...etc. ? (creation arguments would fit my needs 4 now)

thnx -andre ps. dyntest02.pd is if i had a typo in this mail...

bussibussi! marius.

Hi Andre

here is a short description, to use creation-arguments of iemguis.

Examples:

colors: 0 .. 29 are the presets of prop.-dialog-window, top-left-color is

0, top-right is 9, middle-left is 10, ..

and bottom-right is 29; if negativ numbers: you can compose RGB-colors; each component from 0 to

63; GREEN-component * 64; RED-comp. * 4096;

and then add RED + GREEN + BLUE, negate it and add -1. (rgb_color

= -BLUE -64*GREEN -4096*RED - 1);

send-receive-label: if you want to give the object a send- or

receive-name, replace the "empty"-symbol

                  with "my_name".

if you want to give the object an unique-name, replace "empty" with

"$0-my_name" and set BIT 10, 9 or 8

of <binstruct2> (add 1024, 512 or 256 to font-style-dollar).

if you want to give the object a dollar-argument-send-name, replace 1st

"empty" with e.g. "$12-my_send" and

add to <binstruct1> loadbang-init-dollar: 524288 * 12 = 6291456;
add to <binstruct1> loadbang-init-dollar: 128 * 8 = 1024; ("-my_send"

is the tail and has 8 characters)

(1024 + 6291456 = 6292480).

if you want to give the object a dollar-argument-receive-name, replace

2nd "empty" with e.g. "$3-my_receive" and

add to <binstruct1> loadbang-init-dollar: 8192 * 3 = 24576;
add to <binstruct1> loadbang-init-dollar: 2 * 11 = 22; ("-my_receive"

is the tail and has 11 characters)

(22 + 24576 = 24598).

hi thomas it doesnot seem to be nessesary to give the tail-lengths of rec, send, label in the binstructures? marius.

Hi Marius,

It's not necessary for normal names and $0-names, but for $n-names. if you don't do enter the tail-length, the properties-dialog-box of an abstraction-used gui shows you "argument_n-name", and not "$n-name". And maybe, if you store the abstraction, you loose the $n-feature.

Thomas.

hi Andre,

perhaps you have meant 'mouse 5 5 0 0', not 'click...', since currently the 'click <float> <float> <float> <float> <float>' is a synonym of a 'vis 1'?

But... be careful with deleting (or even selecting?) in an invisible subpatch -- it is bound to crash Pd.
