LAF documentation?

[dannytaurus]

Where is the documentation for local Look And Feel?

I'm trying to create a LAF for a floating tile MIDI keyboard but I don't know where to find the functions that draw the parts of the keyboard.

I want to customise the octave number text because it doesn't work well with different key widths, but I really don't know where to start.

I feel like there must be a reference somewhere for what I need, but I don't know what to search for.

@dannytaurus I don't think there is dedicated docs for this. But there are only two functions. drawWhiteNote, drawBlackNote

I also made a video about it

@d-healey Great, thanks! But my real question is - how do you know what functions there are?

[d.healey]

@dannytaurus autocomplete popup. Some of the functions are documented, but not the keyboard ones.

@d-healey Autocomplete popup from what? What would I type to trigger the autocomplete that shows the available LAF functions?

@d-healey Right, that's what I tried but wasn't seeing any autocomplete for laf.registerF but I just figured it out.

I have to hit F5 after creating a new variable before the autocomplete will work.

So, in terms of available versus documented functions - are all the available functions listed in the autocomplete but some of them just aren't in the docs? Or are there available functions that don't even show in the autocomplete?

@dannytaurus As far as I know all laf functions show up in the autocomplete.
