jit.gradient.ui
GUI for creating 1-dimensional gradient matrices
Description
The jit.gradient.ui object provides a handy GUI for creating and manipulating 4-plane 1-dimensional gradient matrices. Functionality is similar to the jit.gradient object.
Attributes
Common Box Attributes
annotation[symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in the Clue window when the user moves the mouse over the object.
background[int]: 0
Adds or removes the object from the patcher's background layer. background 1 adds the object to the background layer, background 0 removes it. Objects in the background layer are shown behind all objects in the default foreground layer.
color[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object box outline.
fontface[int]
Sets the type style used by the object. The options are:
plain
bold
italic
bold italic
Possible values:
0 = 'regular'
1 = 'bold'
2 = 'italic'
3 = 'bold italic'
fontname[symbol]
Sets the object's font.
fontsize[float]
Sets the object's font size (in points).
Possible values:
'8'
'9'
'10'
'11'
'12'
'13'
'14'
'16'
'18'
'20'
'24'
'30'
'36'
'48'
'64'
'72'
hint[symbol]
Sets the text that will be displayed in as a pop-up hint when the user moves the mouse over the object in a locked patcher.
ignoreclick[int]: 0
Toggles whether an object ignores mouse clicks in a locked patcher.
jspainterfile[symbol]
You can override the default appearance of a user interface object by assigning a JavaScript file with code for painting the object. The file must be in the search path.
patching_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 100. 0.
Sets the position and size of the object in the patcher window.
position[2 floats]
write-only
Sets the object's x and y position in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its size unchanged.
presentation[int]: 0
Sets whether an object belongs to the patcher's presentation.
presentation_rect[4 floats]: 0. 0. 0. 0.
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in the patcher's presentation, leaving its patching position unchanged.
rect[4 floats]
write-only
Sets the x and y position and width and height of the object in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation).
size[2 floats]
write-only
Sets the object's width and height in both patching and presentation modes (if the object belongs to its patcher's presentation), leaving its position unchanged.
textcolor[4 floats]
Sets the color for the object's text in RGBA format.
textjustification[int]
Sets the justification for the object's text.
Possible values:
0 = 'left'
1 = 'center'
2 = 'right'
varname[symbol]
Sets the patcher's scripting name, which can be used to address the object by name in pattr, scripting messages to thispatcher, and the js object.
Messages
alpha_last
The word alpha_last , followed by a zero or 1, sets which plane in the matrix contains the alpha values (default = 0). When alpha_last is disabled (set to 0). the output format is ARGB. When alpha_last is enabled (set to 1). the output format is RGBA.
bang
A bang message will cause the object to send the current gradient matrix out the object's outlet.
clear
The word clear will clear all colors from the matrix except for the first (index 0).
move_pointer
The word move_pointer , followed by an integer which specifies the pointer index and a floating-point number in the range 0. - 1.0 will position the pointer index along the range of the gradient.
output_matrix_dim
The word output_matrix_dim , followed by an integer, specifies the dimension (size) of the gradient matrix. The size is related to the gradient resolution of the output matrix; a smaller size will result in a gradient with fewer shades.
pointer_color
The word pointer_color , followed by an integer which specifies the pointer index and four floating-point numbers in the range 0. - 1.0 sets the color for a pointer index along the range of the gradient.
