CompassView

Extension

Description

A view designed to show compass elements as they are on gamepads, gaming josticks etc. Not currently used, intended for combined element guis.

First code examples:w = Window("Compass").front; z = CompassView(w.view, Rect( 200, 100,100,100)); z.action = { |comp| comp.dump }; z.nameView.string = "test"; z.value = 0; z.value = rrand(1, 8); z.valueAction = 0; z.valueAction = rrand(1, 8).postln; // use a Saitek Gamepad to show connecting to a CompassView MKtl.find; m = MKtl('imp', "saitek-impact-gamepad"); // compass has 8 directions (N, NE .. NW) + a rest value. // this HID reports a bogus mapping of deviceValue to normalized value, // so direction north and rest position are the same with value: m.elAt(\compass).action = { |el| "val: % devVal: %\n".postf(*[el.value, el.deviceValue, ].round(0.001)) }; // the deviceValues are better: rest: -1/7, N: 0, NE: 1/7, E: 2/7 .. NW: 7/7. // a conversion function for the directions: m.elAt(\compass).action = { |el| var intVal = (el.deviceValue * 7 + 1).round.asInteger; var dirs = [\rest, \N, \NE, \E, \SE, \S, \SW, \W, \NW]; [\compass, intVal, dirs[intVal], el.value.asFraction].postln; };
