Scrolling Text using Paint Routine

[Tania Ghosh]

How can I make a scrolling text using Paint Routine? I would like to display Artist credits by it.

Content.makeFrontInterface(500, 400);

const var Panel1 = Content.getComponent("Panel1");

Panel1.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
	g.setColour(Colours.peru);
	g.drawAlignedText("CREDITS",[0,0,100,10],"centred");
	g.setColour(Colours.whitesmoke);
	g.drawAlignedText("Ramu",[0,0,100,40],"centred");
	g.drawAlignedText("Panchu",[0,0,100,70],"centred");
	g.drawAlignedText("Hari",[0,0,100,100],"centred");
});

Panel1.setTimerCallback(function()
{
	// How to scroll text?
});

You can just adjust the Y position of each line every time the timer updates. Unless you want it to loop back around, in which case that's a bit harder :)

var textYPosition = 0;

Panel1.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
	g.setColour(Colours.peru);
	g.drawAlignedText("CREDITS",[0,textYPosition,100,10],"centred");
	g.setColour(Colours.whitesmoke);
	g.drawAlignedText("Ramu",[0,textYPosition + 20,100,40],"centred");
	g.drawAlignedText("Panchu",[0,textYPosition + 40,100,70],"centred");
	g.drawAlignedText("Hari",[0,textYPosition + 60,100,100],"centred");
});

Panel1.setTimerCallback(function()
{
	textYPosition += 20;
});

I'm not sure if you'll need to use the Panel1 timer callback or make a generic timer.

@Tania-Ghosh Yes:

https://i.gyazo.com/80dd8ce93742c3a115ddc2e2eb62aadf.mp4

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 500);

const var Panel1 = Content.getComponent("Panel1");

var yOffset = 0;

const var names = ["D. Healey", "iamlamprey", "Tania Ghosh", "Rudra Ghosh", "dustbro", "Christoph Hart", "ulrik", "Orange", "etc"];

Panel1.setPaintRoutine(function(g)
{
    g.setColour(Colours.lightgrey);
    g.drawRoundedRectangle([0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight()], 6.0, 2.0);
    g.setFont("Arial", 14.0);
    for (n=0; n<names.length; n++)
        g.drawAlignedText(names[n], [0, (this.getHeight() / names.length * n) + yOffset, this.getWidth(), 20], "centred");
});

const var textTimer = Engine.createTimerObject();


textTimer.setTimerCallback(function()
{
    yOffset -= 1;
    Panel1.repaint();
});

textTimer.startTimer(100);
