Plotter Text

[DanH]

@d-healey Thanks, I don't want any text tho

[David Healey]

@DanH I think some LAF functions will need to be added. Also how come Plotter isn't an option in the Content Type drop down...?

[DanH]

@d-healey It's never been there I don't think

[DanH]

@DanH hmmmm plotter not working on exported plugin - has anyone made this work?

[David Healey]

@DanH Now that you've brought the plotter tile to my attention I'm finding places in my project it will be useful :)

But, is it possible to get it to show the plot of global lfo that may or may not be connected to something? It works for me, until I hit compile.

Edit: Oh actually it seems to work fine in the UI preview, just not in the interface designer. Now I'll look into how to get rid of that text.

[DanH]

@d-healey actually I ended up using the display buffer out of a global mod node in scriptnode. Far more reliable, but the display is rather long unlike the plotter!

Also as mentioned the plotter didn't appear in the exported plugin

[David Healey]

@DanH Works here in the compiled plugin. You have to use ENABLE_ALL_PEAK_METERS=1

[David Healey]

I just brute force commented out the code that draws the text and the horizontal line. Ideally we'll get LAF at some point to handle this, but that's a job for another day.

[DanH]

@d-healey what lines needed commenting out in the source?

[David Healey]

@DanH This is the paint routine, just change it to what you need

@d-healey For some reason I can't change the colours on the plotter tiles in my project. They remain a dim and transparent grey. This only happens in this particular project. When I set up a clean project I can change them without problem. Any idea why? could my look and feel be affecting it even though I have nothing assign to the plotter tiles?

So 3 years later... Is there anyone using a plotter successfully? (I mean, as stock component without code modifications...)
Or should I stick an AI agent onto the problem?

As for the paint issue, the solution is to drawAnalyserBackground and drawAnalyserPath

@ustk said in Plotter Text:

Remind me what the problem with it is?

[DanH]

@ustk I've had it in a product for a long while

[ustk]

@David-Healey @DanH In fact it's not something that problematic because it can be LAFed easily.
It's just the annoying message "Not Assigned" that I can't get rid of, so I just make it transparent, but I feel like it's a hack and it should be cleaner...
