Automation

Extension

Arguments:

Returns:

Automatically find dockable GUI elements in a given window, e.g.findAndDock(window.view.children)

Manual docking of GUI elements, if findAndDock doesn't do what you need.

Arguments:

Open a transport control GUI.

• If bounds==nil, it will take up the whole window.
• If win==nil, these bounds give the size of the new window.
• If both win and bounds are nil, defaults are used.

Arguments:

User callable function to start playback at the current position.

User callable function that stops playback, staying at the current position.

User callable function to seek a given position in seconds. The seeking action is instantaneous.

Arguments:

Save all clients' values to disk, using client names as the filenames in a given directory.

Load as many clients as possible from disk.

Arguments:

User callable function that records this instant value for each subscribed client. For example, this is useful for setting initial values for all GUI elements.

User provided callback function called when when play is carried out in transport.

User provided callback function called when the transport is stopped. The current transport time in seconds is passed in as a parameter. For example, use this to launch and stop some background action like audio file playback and such. Note, when doStopOnSeek is true, both onStop and onSeek will be called for each seek operation.

User provided callback function called when seek is carried out. The current transport time in seconds is passed in as a parameter. For example, use this to launch and stop some background action like audio file playback and such. Note, when doStopOnSeek is true, both onStop and onSeek will be called for each seek operation.

This callback function is called when the time slider hits its end boundary. The default behaviour is to add 20% of time and continue to run:control.onEnd = { control.length = control.length * 1.2; };

But instead, we could also, for example, stop at the end:control.onEnd = { control.stop; };

Or wrap back to the start:control.onEnd = { control.seek(0); };

Add headstart given to the onSeek callback, i.e. call onSeek, and carry out the actual transport and GUI seek this many seconds later. Useful for audio recording that has latency.

Add headstart given to the onPlay callback, i.e. call onPlay, and carry out the actual transport and GUI playback this many seconds later. Useful for audio recording that has latency.

If true, the transport is stopped whenever the transport position is modified.

If false, all informational posts on the server window are omitted.

Returns:

Arguments:

Returns:

Button action to switch off recording.

The button action that signals readyness for recording. It makes the record button orange.

If true, then the recording button is active (either orange or red).

rewind and stop.

Internal: defer a given function only if doDefer is true. Used for sending GUI signals.

Arguments:

Internal flag to indicate whether GUI actions should be deferred. May be necessary for specific GUI implementations.

Instance variable. A List of AutomationClient instances that are currently docked.

Message function called from any AutomationClient as soon as it was first modified in recording mode. It makes the record button red.

Used as base for all transport timing.

Returns:

The core of the play function without the semaphore stuff. Don't use unless within a semaphore.wait ... semaphore.signal block.

The core of the stop function without the semaphore stuff. It is also called from the playRoutine itself. Don't use unless within a semaphore.wait ... semaphore.signal block.

The core of the seek function without the semaphore stuff. Don't use unless within a semaphore.wait ... semaphore.signal block.

private, don't use unless within a semaphore.wait ... semaphore.signal block.
