ofxTLDatGui

ofxTLDatGui is an addon for ofxTimeline to add a pseudo-track ofxDatGui channel full of widgets meant send params to my application VMM. This addon is a customization of the ofxTLButtons addon by https://github.com/hvfrancesco/ofxTLButtons.ofxTLDatGui uses ofxDatGui instead of ofxUI.

Installing the addon

Add in addons.make after ofxTimeline and its dependencies add:

ofxTLDatGui ofxDatGui

-- or --

Use the Project Generator to add ofxTLDatGui

Setup

In you header file add (usually next to #include "ofxTimeline.h"):

include "ofxTLDatGui.h"

And the in your cpp file you can add buttons track with something like this:

ofxTLDatGui datGuiTrack = new ofxTLDatGui(); datGuiTrack->setXMLFileName("datguitrack.xml"); timeline.addTrack("datGuiTrack", datGuiTrack); To send events, I created an event in the ofxTLDatGui/src/ofxTLDatGui.h

//CREATES A PREPACKAGED OSC MSG EVENT. //ofxTLDatGui/src/ofxTLDatGui.h class OscMessageEvent : public ofEventArgs{ public: ofxOscMessage m; string message; int value; void composeOscMsg(int track, string msg, float val){ message = "/" + msg; value = (int)floor(val); //compose an osc message m.clear(); m.setAddress(message); m.addIntArg(track); m.addIntArg(value); } void composeIntOscMsg(int track, string msg, int val){ message = "/" + msg;

m.clear(); m.setAddress(message); m.addIntArg(track); m.addIntArg(val); } void composeFloatOscMsg(int track, string msg, float val){ message = "/" + msg; m.clear(); m.setAddress(message); m.addIntArg(track); m.addFloatArg(val); } static ofEvent <OscMessageEvent> events; }; And then in the ofxTLDatGui.cpp file add the instance of the event.

//CREATE AND SEND AN OSC MESSAGE //ofxTLDatGui/src/ofxTLDatGui.cpp void ofxTLDatGui::sendOSC(string name, float value) { //create an event static OscMessageEvent vmmOscEvent;

//logic to package the event. if (name == "setGlobalRotX" || name == "setGlobalRotY" || name == "setGlobalRotZ") { vmmOscEvent.composeFloatOscMsg(track+1, name, value); } else if (name == "setGlobalTransX" || name == "setGlobalTransY" || name == "setGlobalTransZ") { vmmOscEvent.composeFloatOscMsg(track+1, name, value); } else if (name == "setLocalRotX" || name == "setLocalRotY" || name == "setLocalRotZ") { vmmOscEvent.composeFloatOscMsg(track+1, name, value); } else if (name == "setLocalTransX" || name == "setLocalTransY" || name == "setLocalTransZ") { vmmOscEvent.composeFloatOscMsg(track+1, name, value); } else if (name == "setObjRotX" || name == "setObjRotY" || name == "setObjRotZ") { vmmOscEvent.composeFloatOscMsg(track+1, name, value); } else if (name == "localScale" || name == "globalScale") { vmmOscEvent.composeFloatOscMsg(track+1, name, value); } else { vmmOscEvent.composeIntOscMsg(track+1, name, int(value)); } //notify event ofNotifyEvent(OscMessageEvent::events, vmmOscEvent); }

Another importan note: If you want to disable the mouse events on ofxDatGui components the update() functions accepts a boolean param. Setting to false disables mouse events. This is needed if you have multiple timelines/tabs.

playNoteOffToggle->setPosition(bounds.getX(), bounds.getY()); playNoteOffToggle->setVisible(bounds.getBottom()-bounds.getTop() < playNoteOffToggle->getHeight() ? false : true); playNoteOffToggle->update(guiAcceptEvents);

TODO: - much of this code is for another project. Will need to slim it all down. - Test on PC. I don't have any of this working on a PC. sorry - Fix the save/load code. Currently save is being handled elsewhere. - ofxDatGui themes and fonts. I have include my DatGui setup. You will need to setup your own fonts.
