Description

A gui showing the Pdef's name, playing state, source state, and envir state. Optionally, its envir can also be edited.

First example

g = PdefGui(); // make a PdefGui g.object = Pdef(\a); // show when a Pdef is put in Pdef(\a, Pbind(\note, 12)); // show whether it has a source Pdef(\a).play; // show whether playing, stopped, or ended, and pausable Pdef(\a).set(\dur, 0.25); // show whether the Pdef has an envir g.close; g = PdefGui(Pdef(\a), 3); // with an envirgui for 3 items Pdef(\a).set(\lofreq, [1, 10], \str, "someString", \oops, \oneSymbolTooMany); Pdef(\a).clear; Pdef(\a).envir.clear; g.close; ( // put it in an existing window - margin is 0@0 w = Window("my win", Rect(200, 200, 300, 200)).front; w.addFlowLayout; PdefGui(Pdef(\a), 0, w); PdefGui(Pdef(\a), 3, w); )

Details on the GUI elements

name button

when selected, typing the delete key will delete its Pdef.

play/stop button

indicates whether the Pdef is playing:

" >"	if stopped,
" _"	if playing and active,
" |"	if it is playing, but the stream has ended.

pause/resume button

only visible if one can pause or resume the Pdef, i.e. while it is playing.

"paus"	shown when you can pause it,
"rsum"	shown when you can resume it.

src button

opens a document to edit the source (function) of the Pdef.

green	a source exists,
white	the source is nil.

env button

opens a document to edit the environment of the Pdef, which is where one can keep all variables the Pdef uses for easy access.

green	the Pdef has an envir,
white	the envir is nil.
