New subject: Tidy question

2 Jun 2009


      Thanks, I've got a "Frankenstein" version working. I had to create 
a "lib" folder and put the tcl/tk folders in it because it's not
finding mingw/lib, and I had to copy stuff from pd/obj into pd/bin
manually.
Here's the settings I'm trying in g_editor.c:
#define XTOLERANCE 18
#define YTOLERANCE 17
#define NHIST 35
This gives reasonable results, certainly better than the defaults.

X and YTOLERANCE are still low enough that vertical selections stay 
vertical, and horizontal ones stay horizontal (unless the objects 
overlap, which they shouldn't in the first place.).
NHIST sets the minimum vertical distance between logical groups of 
objects.  It's normally 15, so if there's more than 15 pixels 
separating the bottom of one object from the top of another, it 
won't line them up vertically.  Obviously I like to "tidy up" one
group at a time, but maybe these should be customizable...
Would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for this in the future 
(CTRL+Y?)

Sounds worth trying, I haven't
myself.  We've
...
...
recently
...
...
done some work on the whole MinGW build
environment and docs
...
...
so it should be relatively straightforward
to get
...
...
...
...
going.  If you just want to build Pd,
then
...
...
its much
...
...
easier.  Most of the build
environment setup
...
...
is for all
...
...
the libs, which Pd itself doesn't need.
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/mingw
I don't understand the final step under the
heading
...
...
"Building
...
Pd-extended with MinGW".  Am I supposed
to be in
...
...
a msys shell
...
or cygwin?  Because the "svn" command
only works
...
...
in cygwin.
The final step is to get the whole source tree
for
...
...
Pd-extended then
build just Pd (not the whole package).  The
'svn' part
...
...
can be run in
Cygwin.  You can install a MSYS svn or you
can add
...
...
Cgywin to the path
(last, so the MSYS always task precedence) then
you can use
...
...
the Cygwin
svn in MSYS.  The "make -f makefile.mingw"
must be run
...
...
in MSYS.

Ok, now I'm building in msys but getting the
mysterious message:
...
make: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/include/stdlib.h', needed by
...
`g_canvas.o'.  Stop.
I'm using your mingw installation, and stdlib.h
definitely exists.
...
Any ideas on why it's not pointing to the right
place?
Try deleting "makefile.dependencies" :

Hi list,
       Has
anyone ever tried
...
...
...
...
increasing the values for XTOLERANCE and
...
YTOLERANCE in g_editor.c to improve
the
...
...
usefulness of
...
...
"Tidy Up"?
...
Like maybe jacking both values up to
14, for
...
...
...
...
example?  Currently,
...
objects have to be within 4 vertical
or 3
...
...
horizontal
...
...
pixels of each
...
other for "tidy up" to do anything at
all.
...
...
...
...
...
I would try it myself but I'm on
windows and
...
...
haven't
...
...
yet investigated
...
the whole build process.
Thanks,
Jonathan
