TBGL window

[Reinking]

PSch,


Can the tbgl_window:[list]
be sized programmatically
have a parent window
be created without caption or border?[/list:u]

I was toying with an idea of creating a X vs Y realtime chart with a DIALOG as the parent window and thought tbgl_ would be capable of the task.

Regards,

Hi John,

regarding Dialog Windows, I will add more functionalities in the next thinBasic release inside UI module: DIALOG SET SIZE, SET/GET LOC, SET TEXT, SET COLOR, ... This will give more power. I will also try to add more message pump control when using TBGL module (at the moment very basic).

Regarding specific TBGL requests, I know Psch is working on a new version so he will have some new features for us. At the moment Psch is very busy on other matter but I'm pretty sure specific requests will be taken into considerations.

Ciao

Hi,

I'm now working again on the TBGL.
Regarding to the questions:

be sized programmatically
This shouldn't be a problem to implement,
I will have a look

have a parent window
Good idea, I have to think about the modyfying
syntax of tbgl_CreateWindow

be created without caption or border?
Hmm, good idea again

I was toying with an idea of creating a X vs Y realtime chart with a DIALOG as the parent window and thought tbgl_ would be capable of the task.

The new version of TBGL will have the possibility to make a fullscreen window, that's sure. It could be fine for more detailed view of the chart.
Second coming feature is using standard windows fonts and placing them in 3D - this should be handy too to describe the chart data.

Only thing I'm afraid is the coexistence of both dialog and TBGL window.
At this time it seems to be quite problematic, but I will work on it.

Thanks for nice suggestions, I'll try to implement them

Psch,

PS: wow, nice image example!

Neat!

My initial thought was simply a 2D XY scatter chart.
Psch, seeing your 3D bar chart, gee whiz, the juices are really churning now!
I want to continuously append data to a 6x6 inch grid maintaining a refresh rate of about 30ms.

Thanks a lot!

Hi John,

all necessary TBGL stuff seems to be developed now.
I will post chart demo script very soon !

Hi,

please find the promised "chart demo" in the attachment.

It is very basic demonstration, which can be run in two modes.
First mode is "mad chart" - the chart is dynamicaly filled with new data
Second mode is "user input" - the data in chart can be edited by user ( in very simple way )

Hope you'll like it ,

You are a GL monster.
Very nice.

Psch,

what about a base grid rotating with the bars like in your picture example?
Some values here and there?
x, y, z axis?

[Petr Schreiber]

Ok,

I'm working on it.

Some values here and there?

No values displayed ?!
Are you sure you are using the latest debugged TBGL ?

Thanks,
Petr
