PostPosted: Wed 06 Mar 2013, 21:27    Post subject: vary the width opf combobox  
I've discovered how to vary the width of the combobox at
the time of launch of the script.

A practical example is Bulldog finder, which widens up
when it is launched with a folder path as an argument $1

As an example I change the width based on whether my app has an
argument $1

Code:
export WIDTH=240
[ -z "$1" ] && WIDTH=150]



then while building the combobox

Code:
<combobox case-sensitive="false" value-in-list="true" width-request="'$WIDTH'">

PostPosted: Fri 15 Mar 2013, 15:48    Post subject: DYCP Effect  
Ah, the good old C64 times...
Does anyone remember DYCP (Different Y Character Position) effect?
It seems that Bash+Gtkdialog+SVG are powerful enough for that - here's an example (save it with .sh extension or else ROX will identify it as .svg file):

Code:
#!/bin/bash

# DYCP example by SFR'2013

export SINUS=/dev/shm/sinus_table
[ -e $SINUS ] && rm $SINUS

# Create sinus table
for i in {0..63}; do
  RAD=`echo "$i*(3.14/32)" | bc -l`
  VAL=`echo "s($RAD) * 48 + 72" | bc -l`
  echo ${VAL/.*} >> $SINUS
done

dycp () {
SIN=( `cat $SINUS` )
echo '<svg width="256" height="128" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<text font-family="Monospace" font-size="32" font-weight="bold">
<tspan x="10" y="'${SIN[0]}'">P</tspan>
<tspan x="30" y="'${SIN[2]}'">U</tspan>
<tspan x="50" y="'${SIN[4]}'">P</tspan>
<tspan x="70" y="'${SIN[6]}'">P</tspan>
<tspan x="90" y="'${SIN[8]}'">Y</tspan>
<tspan x="130" y="'${SIN[12]}'">L</tspan>
<tspan x="150" y="'${SIN[14]}'">I</tspan>
<tspan x="170" y="'${SIN[16]}'">N</tspan>
<tspan x="190" y="'${SIN[18]}'">U</tspan>
<tspan x="210" y="'${SIN[20]}'">X</tspan>
<tspan x="230" y="'${SIN[22]}'">!</tspan>
</text>
</svg>' > /dev/shm/dycp_pic.svg

# Shift array right
echo ${SIN[63]} ${SIN[@]:0:63} > $SINUS
}
export -f dycp && dycp

export MAIN='
<window title="DYCP">
  <vbox>
    <pixmap>
      <variable>PICTURE</variable>
      <input file>/dev/shm/dycp_pic.svg</input>
    </pixmap>
    <button ok></button>
    <timer visible="false" milliseconds="true" interval="50">
      <action>dycp</action>
      <action>refresh:PICTURE</action>
    </timer>
  </vbox>
</window>
'

gtkdialog -cp MAIN

Of course it's rather pointless (and resource hungry), but personally I love such things! Very Happy

Code:
#!/bin/bash

like it Very Happy

The days of C64 were sure wonderful. The coding wasn't meant to be useful - only cool.


Thank you for sharing
Sigmund

Dear SFR,

That was an impressive bit of coding. I ported it to BaCon, with a few mods to reduce file reads/writes, and it works nicely. Thanks. Now to find a good use for this lovely routine Smile

With kind regards,
vovchik

Thanks guys! Very Happy

I guess I also miss the old days, because computers' capabilities were very limited and there was a challenge - to crush those limits!
For instance - see how amazing gfx can still be created in ancient 320x256x32 (my_jaw_dropped).
[sorry for being a bit off-topic]

@Vovchik - Bacon version works OOTB on Slacko, no recompiling needed; nice work!

Greetings!

@SFR: Awesome work Very Happy

I'd like to add those to the gtkdialog repository so is it okay and what is the licence? GPL2 would be good.

Regards,
Thunor

Sure, and GPL2 is fine.

PostPosted: Wed 20 Mar 2013, 22:55    Post subject: Always on top or underneath
Subject description: Launch app condition		  
I cut my teeth on a C64. I remember the 20min load times from an external cassette reader for some games like ghost busters. Good times.

I'd like to know if it is possible to launch a gtkdialog app and have it always underneath all other apps, as opposed to always on top? I mean to say if i click the gtkdialog app it will not come to the front but remain at the back under all other apps on the desktop layer. The app is a desklet type thing that i want to remain on the desktop.

Hello brokenman

maybe try gtkdesklets by akash_rawal, supports transparency too. Ah..but you've been there! Did it not work?

There is code earlier in that thread that I used with raw gtkdialog, I wrote a weather widget , broken now of course due to the change in the sites html, but nevertheless may give you an idea
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=598629#598629.. plus even earlier there is a basic RAM widget. I got bored with widgets though after that!

Thanks very much. Your gtkdesklet seems to remain on the desktop layer and doesn't come to the front when clicked which is exactly what i need! Now i just need to scour your code to see what makes it stay there. I am using the gtkdesklet applet but my applet doesn't behave in the manner i want (staying in background).

Dear SFR,

I re-did one of your wave examples only to use markup - no svgs - and obtain the same wave effect using the little-used span markup command "rise". It gives you a y-axis displacement in "pango" units. I also use the span attrobute "letter_spacing" for the x axis (in 1024th of a point). My code is attached.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Hey Vovchik

Thanks for the tip, I had no idea about this 'rise' attribute.
And, what's most important, it works also in Gtkdialog:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

# DYCP 2 by SFR'2013
# Uses Vovchik's tip: markup "rise" attribute instead of svg
# GPL v2 applies

TEMPDIR=/dev/shm/dycp_$$
mkdir $TEMPDIR
trap 'rm -rf $TEMPDIR' EXIT

export SINUS=$TEMPDIR/sinus_table

# Create sinus table
for i in {0..63}; do
  RAD=`echo "$i*(3.14/64)" | bc -l`
  SIN[$i]=$(printf "%.0f" $(echo "((s($RAD)*100)+10)*1024" | bc -l))
done
echo ${SIN[@]} > $SINUS

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

dycp () {
TEXT="DYCP using 'rise' attribute."
SIN=( $(<$SINUS) )

echo -n '<span font="Monospace bold 36" color="black">'
for i in `seq 0 $((${#TEXT}-1))`; do
echo -n '<span rise="'${SIN[$(( ($i*3)&63 ))]}'">'${TEXT:$i:1}'</span>'
done
echo -n '</span>'

echo ${SIN[63]} ${SIN[@]:0:63} > $SINUS
}
export -f dycp

export MAIN='
<window title="DYCP" height-request="256" allow-grow="false">
  <text use-markup="true" wrap="false">
    <variable>DYCP</variable>
    <input>dycp</input>
  </text>
  <timer visible="false" milliseconds="true" interval="50">
    <action>refresh:DYCP</action>
  </timer>
<action signal="hide">exit:abort</action>
</window>
'

gtkdialog -cp MAIN

___________

PS. In .tgz below there's a couple of other old effects ported to Bash/Gtkdialog (same 'svg+refresh' technique, so nothing original really Wink ).

Dear5 SFR,

Nice job. I honestly didn't know about the "rise" attribute either, until recently, and then thought it might just work. Your code is tiny, which is very nice. Too bad that <span> doesn't have an x-axis attribute like "shift". Then we could control the entire space in both directions.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Dear SFR,

The archive contains great stuff by you. I will try to port those demos. Have a problem with interference.sh, but I will try to figure out why.

With kind regards,

Oops, I think I know what kind of problems.
I forgot that in Gtkdialog-0.8.0 (you're still on Lupu, right?) in some cases closing the window through upper-right X won't terminate gtkdialog process...
So most likely my scripts just jammed your CPU (sorry about that Embarassed ).
Ok, I reuploaded corrected scripts, with added:
Code:
<action signal="hide">exit:abort</action>

line, which should prevent the problem.

Sorry again &
Greetings!
