David, just curious, are you trying to make Rev work like Power Point or KeyNote on the Mac where you have the presentation showing on the second external monitor and the presentor's private notes on the primary monitor?
Yes - I do that quite often - it used to be pretty tricky but now with the multiple monitor support yu have prety much the control you need - with the exception of the boundingRects. ... the stage team, plugs in a projector to the VGA
output on the lap top. the "big screen" in front of the audience becomes monitor 2. (e.g. VGA, 800 X 600) etc.
Yes - you can also use it in a VJ / installation sense - you can have a library of media on the presenters screen and field questions by selecting media to be displayed on the projector. open a presentation where a substack
automatically appears on the projector screen and the mainstack on the laptop.
I'd steat clear of the automatic thing - probably the most useful behavior is simply to be able to zoom a stack to full screen on the actual screen it is mainly on - users are used to this with QuickTime and video presentation tools - but a "presentation" default is not a bad idea too. It would indeed all have to happen in a preOpenStack handler(s) Could do - I have some handlers that I'll put up that would save you some time. I think the most general way is to have a palette which you can select an open stack and then position it in a number of ways. I use menus - but a visual display of the screenrects would be nice. ... I think...
I believe PowerPoint senses and fills the entire window, automatically.. whatever it is.
Another thing that helps is to have the elements of you presentation scaleable so that it works on screens of different sizes - you never know what size screen you may be required to resent on. I'll go and find the relevant handlers and post a link to them... _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
