The problem is that when I move from one system to another, many of my abstractions fail to display correctly, because the atoms fall outside of the GOP area. (See the attached image: the GOP area was set in 0.47, but it won't display in 0.48). The Context library uses a lot of tightly fitted GOPs (for better or worse), and I'm looking for a solution so that I can guarantee that they will display correctly on all systems. Even if the PD font width is standardized, there is always the chance that somebody loads PD with the -font-weight bold flags, which would throw it off again.
An external object that reported the system standard dimensions would offer a solution, since you could then set the abstraction to resize itself according to the system. I'm also open to other solutions, if anyone can think of them. ________________________________ From: Alexandre Torres Porres <[email protected]> Sent: 20 March 2018 19:43 To: Liam Goodacre Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PD] reporting the dimensions of a symbol / float atom 2018-03-18 15:09 GMT-03:00 Liam Goodacre <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: it's just a matter of knowing which variable to call, right? seems so, I guess we know that much :) but i don't get it, what do you need? Font size? That should be simple, and nice/useful cause you could work around you patches even if you change a patch's font size.
