Description

JITView can display an object as its source code, change it by code, and do multiple actions with it. It has a UserView for configurable display and interaction modes. Its action is an MFunc to allow configurable actions when activated. For flexible display of number(s), see its subclass MView. For modal guis for JIT-style objects, see MGui.// make a JITView: value, parent, bounds j = JITView(123, nil, Rect(10, Window.screenBounds.height - 100, 300, 40)); // much of its internals are in a dict j.dict; // set its label (on the top left); j.label_(\yo); j.label_(\yoyoYO); // if its parent is a window: j.parent.name_("My JITView window"); // set its value - can be anything j.value_(\symbol); j.value_(nil); j.value_( Pdefn(\abc, 123) ); j.value_(30); // floats are shown as floats j.value_(30.0); j.value_([30, 300]); j.value_([30, 300, 3000]); // checkNum is a utility used to determine whether a value object // is a number or numbers; in effect, whether it can be rounded: // 0 if not a number, 1 if a single number, 2 if array of all numbers. // (arrays of arrays of numbers not supported yet) j.checkNum(12); // -> 1, can round j.checkNum(nil); // -> 0 j.checkNum([12, 12]); // -> 2, can round j.value_(10.123456); //default round is 0.0001 j.putDict(\round, 0.01).refresh; j.putDict(\round, nil).refresh; //back to default 0.0001 j.putDict(\round, 0).refresh; // no rounding j.action.add(\test, { |jv| "jv value is: %\n".postf(jv.value) }); // hitting enter on the view does action, or this: j.doAction; // BASIC display mode of JITView is \code; // subclasses like MView have others, such as \number. // as there is only one mode, there is no real need to switch to others j.mode_(\code); // shortcut: typing alt-c on the view also switches to code mode. // or code shortcut: j.code; /* in code mode, one can enter any valid bit of code as value, and it will be shown as a compileString. -> tab to display current value as editString -> backspace to delete char, -> shift-backspace to clear editString -> return to try to enter: if ok: editStr becomes new value, doAction is called if it does not compile, nothing happens but a doAction on the previous value. */ // JITView can be hilited with a custom string and color, // e.g. to show a mapping to a control source j.hilite("sl1"); j.nohilite; // customize hilite font and color j.putDict(\hiFontCol, Color.magenta(1.0, 0.6)); j.putDict(\hiFont, Font("Inconsolata", 24)); j.hilite("sl1"); j.nohilite;
