Floating Tile - scrolling audio?

[Dan Korneff]

Do we have any floating tiles that can display audio in/out/reduction like this?

@Dan-Korneff no tiles, only custom panel paint routine using external display buffer

There's the plotter but it doesn't work with peak nodes and their external slots unfortunately.

@Dan-Korneff like @aaronventure, peak node -> external buffer -> manually draw in a panel

@Dan-Korneff

I've done this before.
The two options are panels (paint routines working off of timers / scriptnode global cables) or a custom open Gl shader kind of thing.

I recommend panels, although getting a smooth looking animation will require a few tricks.

@griffinboy that's the issue with the UI timers, they're not consistent and having them go too fast clogs up the message thread on something like M1 air.

It should definitely be possible, there have been plugins around since forever that do this, so JUCE must have some sort of native functionality which lets you get away from the timer method.

@Christoph-Hart since the plotter can already natively pull from a modulator, is it possible to make it pull from an external buffer instead for a smoother performance?
