14:52:11 scymtym {FORCE,FINISH}-OUTPUT do nothing but notify the port of the request which is then handled in a slightly special way

14:52:54 scymtym thanks

14:53:27 beach And you backend is still alpha or beta quality? So not in the repository?

14:53:39 scymtym the tricky part is not drawing everything to the screen at 60 fps when nothing has changed while at the same time reacting to input events or drawing operations without latency

14:54:01 beach Yes, I can see that.

14:54:35 scymtym yes, still working on it. i'm pretty sure i have the architecture figured out, but i need lots of architectural changes in preparation which i have to consolidate and clean up

14:55:06 mcoll how do I redraw text to account for new window size? I amb doing (format stream ...) but when I resize the window the text stays wrapped at the previous window size

14:56:09 beach scymtym: So given that there is no ETA for the new backend, let me rephrase my initial question: How do I display a CLIM pixmap in a CLIM pane so that scrolling is tolerably fast?

14:57:34 scymtym beach: once you have the desired pixel data in the pixmap, i think MEDIUM-COPY-AREA would be the means of displaying

14:58:09 scymtym to tie that into output record replay, maybe make a custom output record type and call MEDIUM-COPY-AREA in the REPLAY-OUTPUT-RECORD method

14:58:49 beach scymtym: That's the information I was looking for. Thank you.

14:59:36 scymtym beach: i hope that works, but i haven't tried it

15:00:00 beach I will experiment some. But that was the general technique I had in mind.

15:03:10 beach mcoll: I believe someone wrote a pane class or something similar that will do reflow.

15:03:36 beach I think loke would be the one to ask.

15:04:10 beach And jackdaniel will know, but he is probably spending the weekend with his family as well.

15:04:54 mcoll thanks! I also just found (stream-end-of-line-action) which when set to :allow disables the wrapping, will test now

15:05:04 loke[m] Ask what?

15:05:13 beach about a reflow pane.

15:05:57 loke[m] Yes, I built the one. But I thought jackdaniel had a better idea one now?

15:05:57 beach mcoll: Sure, that's easy. Then it won't wrap and you will get a scrollbar instead.

15:06:19 loke[m] Sorry not, the one. Just one. My mobile keyboard likes putting in extra words.

15:06:56 mcoll yeah, I think that's enough for my purposes for now

15:07:14 mcoll loke: where can I get it?

15:07:15 loke[m] In my version, I simply regenerate the output record when changing pane width.

15:07:55 mcoll I have to understand the whole output record stuff, still don't understand exactly how it works and how to work with them

15:21:07 mcoll hmmm, how can I handle a click on something that has been drawn as a presentation type. So I have an item and it is drawn to screen using presentation types, I want to be able to click on it to toggle it, but afaik handle-event cannot be specialized for this

15:22:06 beach You might want to define a presentation-to-command-translator that changes how it is drawn.

15:22:54 scymtym easiest way is (define-command (com-toggle-item :command-table YOUR-APPLICATION-FRAME-NAME) ((item 'item :gesture :select)) (toggle-item item))

15:23:17 scymtym the :gesture :select part generates the presentation to command translator that beach mentioned automatically

15:23:31 mcoll thanks guys :)

15:23:36 mcoll sorry for all the questions

15:24:03 scymtym :SELECT is usually an alias for "left point button click" (might actually be button press or button release)

15:24:15 scymtym s/point/pointer/

15:24:22 scymtym don't worry about it. asking questions is fine

15:26:59 mcoll nice, it worked!

15:28:14 scymtym yeah, that's the part that makes certain types of user interfaces extremely easy and quick with CLIM

15:30:00 mcoll indeed, that was easy

16:49:46 jackdaniel I wrote only some proof of concept demo that show a reflow

17:01:23 mcoll is there a way to control the size of the presentation hightlight box?

17:03:47 mcoll I discovered the single-box option so that I get a single box out of a lot of text instead of small boxes, but I'd like to specify a bigger highlight box for some entries

17:05:42 mcoll ah, the bounding-rectangle stuff

17:13:58 mcoll hmmm, I cannot set text family to monospaced, it says "The following files should exist" and list a whole lot of files that *do* exist from cl-dejavu

17:25:50 loke[m] Use :fixed

17:29:22 mcoll :fixed doesn't work either, but :fix did

17:50:11 jstoddard_ ** NICK jstoddard

19:39:10 mcoll how could I refresh the rendering as soon as a promise resolves for example? I'm fine if it means polling from time to time. Is there any way to run a refresh from time to time and redraw on data change? How does data-binding work in McCLIM?

19:40:51 mcoll to give a little bit more context, I'm running some external commands wrapped in an lparallel future that I want to show when they are resolved

19:41:43 scymtym look at Examples/graph-toy.lisp for updating on external event

19:42:01 mcoll perfect, thanks!
