WinBounds | SuperCollider 3.13.0 Help

Description

WinBounds allows easy storing of window bounds in order to simplify designing and using multi-window guis. WinBounds is a class-only singleton.

First code examples:// make 3 windows Window.closeAll; ~names = [\abc, \bcd, \cde]; ~names.do {|name, i| Window(name, Rect(20, i + 3 * 100, 180, 80)).front }; // store their current positions WinBounds.storeAll; // ... they are here now: WinBounds.stored; Document("WinBounds_stored.scd", "// save?\n" ++ WinBounds.saveString); // jumble Window.allWindows.do(_.bounds_(Rect(800.rand, 800.rand, 300, 300))); // restore one WinBounds.restore("abc"); // restore one window by name WinBounds.restoreAll; // restore all of them /// save current storeed bounds as code: WinBounds.saveString; // posts this: WinBounds.stored.putAll( ( 'cde': Rect(20.0, 500.0, 180.0, 80.0), 'abc': Rect(20.0, 300.0, 180.0, 80.0), 'bcd': Rect(20.0, 400.0, 180.0, 80.0) ) ); // try to re-enter them from saveString: WinBounds.stored.clear; WinBounds.stored.putAll( ( 'cde': Rect(20.0, 500.0, 180.0, 80.0), 'abc': Rect(20.0, 300.0, 180.0, 80.0), 'bcd': Rect(20.0, 400.0, 180.0, 80.0) ) ); // jumble Window.allWindows.do(_.bounds_(Rect(800.rand, 800.rand, 400.rand, 400.rand))); // should restore all 3 WinBounds.restoreAll;

WinBounds can also be use to store window-making functions,// store a makeFunc WinBounds.addMake(\WinBounds_Test, { Window("WinBounds_Test", Rect(10, 400, 200, 100)).front }); WinBounds.makeFuncs.cs; // run it to make the window WinBounds.make(\WinBounds_Test); // store the bounds WinBounds.store(\WinBounds_Test); // close the test window Window.find(\WinBounds_Test).close; // -> showOrMake remakes it WinBounds.showOrMake(\WinBounds_Test); // move it somewhere else Window.find(\WinBounds_Test).moveTo(10, 10); // -> showOrMake moves it back WinBounds.showOrMake(\WinBounds_Test); // showOrMake also has a finishfunc which is applied to the old or new window: WinBounds.showOrMake(\WinBounds_Test, restore: true, finishFunc: { |w| w.background_(Color(0.4, 0.8, 0.4)) } );

WinBounds uses some extensions to the Window class :Window.find(\abc).do(_.front); Window.find(\nopey).do(_.front); Window.find(\c).do(_.front); Window.findAll(\b).do(_.background_(Color.rand)); Window.find(\a).moveTo(200).front; Window.find(\bcd).moveTo(200, 200).front; Window.findAll(\c).do(_.front); ~locs = Window.getAll.postcs; Window.findAll(\c).do(_.moveTo(800.rand, 800.rand)); Window.setAll(~locs, true); Window.getAllCS; Window("test").front; Window.show("test").notNil; */
