Is anyone using the 'relocate' message to
move/resize
windows in Pd? I ask because I want
to simplify that
code and the message itself in
pd-gui-rewrite 0.43.
Its currently a very strange format, and
it no longer needs
to be.
Here's the only working example that I
know of:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/doc/additional/pd-msg/1..msg_and_patch/6.relocate_windows..pd?view=log
The idea is to make the message like
this:
"relocate WIDTHxHEIGHT+XLoc+YLoc"
Currently its like this:
"relocate WIDTHxHEIGHT+0+0
0x0+XLoc+YLoc"
.hc
Hi Hans,
Is there a reason the message can't
simply be "relocate WIDTH HEIGHT
XLoc Yloc"? Whether using pd-ext or
vanilla, I've always thought it seems
really awkward to cram the coordinates into
one big symbol..

Hmm, that makes sense. I wonder if this should
just have the same syntax as 'canvas', so:
relocate x1 y1 x2 y2
Where x is the upper left corner, and y is the
lower right corner.
So I restored the old relocate message, and added a
new message which the GUI now uses a new message
'whxy'. 'whxy' stands for Width/Height/X/Y.
Width/Height is the size of the window, and (x,y) is where
the upper-left corner is located:
whxy width height xPosition yPosition
whxy 450 300 0 22
I am now thinking that perhaps I should make it called
'setbounds' after the old internal function, and make it
mirror that:
canvas_setbounds(x, xpos, ypos, xpos +
width, ypos + height);
i.e. "setbounds Xleft Ytop Xright Ybottom"
After a little discussion with Miller, this one seems to
make the most sense, so this is what the pd-gui-rewrite uses
now.
