HISE_USE_SCRIPT_RECTANGLE_OBJECT

[dannytaurus]

Where do I add the preprocessor definition for the Rectangle class? And other app-wide devs too?

In the top-level Xcode (macOS) box:

Or in each of the Debug, Release, etc. boxes:

Or both?

@David-Healey Thanks

@dannytaurus But is it still necessary for the rectangle? I don't seem to have the preprocessor though I am using the rectangle class extensively nowadays...

Note that for backwards compatibility, HISE will still use the JS arrays for all methods or callbacks that return a rectangle (eg. ScriptComponent.getLocalBounds() or the obj.area property in LAF functions). In order to change that you can enable the preprocessor HISE_USE_SCRIPT_RECTANGLE_OBJECT=1 , then it will return a Rectangle object for the full experience.

@David-Healey Silly me...
I was doing this all the time...

local rect = Rectangle(obj.area); //...
