[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [688x3] | oke thanks ! |
Another question | |
Is it possible to create transparent faces? A face over a face.. So not an image! | |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [691] | Yes, set the color of the face to NONE |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [692] | thats very transparent ;-) |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [693] | If SAVED-AREA is true then it won't recalculate the transparency on redraw... |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [694x2] | I just need a little color in it but the backface needs to be visual through the front face... |
I thought saved-area was for images only ? | |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [696x2] | Color: none effect: [colorize what-ever-color] |
Saved-Area is for saving the transparent area of a face... | |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [698] | Thanks Ammon !! |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [699x2] | If you set it to true then it gets replaced (changed from a Logic! value to an Image! value) with the background or transparent area of the face so that the background doesn't recalculate itself... |
You're welcome! | |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [701] | :) |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [702x2] | On all things View, the best reference that I have seen yet is http://www.dobeash.com/it/rebgui/ |
The information I just gave is available there... | |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [704] | heee i dont know that url ;-) Thanks again! |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [705] | NP |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [706x4] | HA ! |
There it is !! the FormDesigner ... | |
is was searching for that one for a long time... | |
Wasnt there an GUI builder too ? | |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [710] | Uhm... There have been a number of them built but none of them have passed Alpha stage if they ever actually hit what could be called Alpha... |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [711x2] | Yes i think that was 3 years ago... |
never heard anything from it again | |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [713x3] | http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=layout-1.8.r |
I played a little with a script that Carl wrote to demonstrate how to build a GUI builder but ultimately decided to rebuild my own. | |
I had Bo build me an engine for creating faces for the IDE I'm writing but have since decided to use GLayout as my GUI engine which makes the engine Bo wrote obsolete. | |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [716x2] | Glayout ?? |
Mmmm | |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [718] | http://www.rebol.it/~steel/is the homepage for GLayout... |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [719] | aaa Right... yes i know that, but i actualy never used it... |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [720] | It is getting better and better as we improve it for use in Anvil... |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [721] | lets have a look again then ;-) |
Ammon 23-Mar-2005 [722] | Scrollpanes are in the middle of getting a revamp which will include an enhancement or two to the layout engine itself but the revamp isn't available yet... |
[unknown: 10] 23-Mar-2005 [723x2] | the complete website has a new layout too ;-) |
ill have a closer look | |
[unknown: 10] 24-Mar-2005 [725x4] | Mmm still no luck on making 1 face transparent when it moves over another face.. |
I tried different thinks but no result on transparentcy with color.. Or its 100% transparent or not ;-) | |
Anyone any hint ? | |
The idea is to have 1 face to be transparent in its own color so the face below it get visable.. | |
Gabriele 24-Mar-2005 [729x2] | you need MERGE in the effects block |
older versions (i.e. 1.2.1) didn't need it | |
[unknown: 10] 24-Mar-2005 [731x5] | merge ? Mmmmm lets investigate that ;-) |
Well im not quiet sure what you mean Gabriele.. | |
Its not as simple as it seems after all.. | |
it must be possible to have 1 face turn into transparentcy when it moves over the other face. Not 100% transparent but lets say 60%... | |
odd ;-) | |
Ammon 24-Mar-2005 [736x2] | Playing with alpha channels requires some skill and experience. ;~> |
Can you give us a quick snippet that demonstrates how you attempting to create the transparency and how the faces are being moved over each other? | |
