Marc Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 This challenge comes courtesy of Steven Ong.. Take a look at the image below. There are only two panes in there. The right one is the tricky one, its a list mode pane with the parameters displayed.... But yet the parameters are below the list. The challenge is to see if you can replicate the layout. On your marks, get set... GO! Marc P.S. This has not been touched by photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3__ Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 how about sop parameters combined with pop parameters: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hmm... maybe we should have mentioned unique displays due to graphics card does not really count. But it is really impressive & maybe it should be another challenge? :afro: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stremik Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 I don,t know about another challange but being able to display parameters of multiple OPs at the same time is something I've been missing for some time now. Really missing! Maybe we should make it an RFE? Along with the ability to reposition Parameters dialog box to anywhere in the network. Heck! I wouldn't mind being able to "pin" the Parameters window to the network background and pan/zoom like we do now with Network boxes! What do you say?

TheUsualAlex Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Not resulted from graphics card. The parameter panes are sizable. :oneeyedsmiley02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaJuice Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Marc, I did that first one yesterday on accident somehow, and it drove me up the fricking wall. I wanted to change it back but I don't know how it had happened. I managed to change it back, but I'm not exactly sure what I did. I think I was just clicking randomly on the parameter window border.

edward Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I don,t know about another challange but being able to displayparameters of multiple OPs at the same time is something Just open up two parameter panes and make sure they're not linked together. Or you can always right-click on a specific node and choose Parameters .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven showed me how to do it, and then I spent the next 30 minutes waving my cursor around there in a futile manner. I finally got it though... I'll try and explain the secret in a few days Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Did you know you can middle-mouse-drag on a "p" parameter pane in a Network Pane? You can move it whereever you like but the moment you move the desktop it will snap back into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anakin78z Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Dude, this is driving me insane! How did you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 muahahaha..... ..hmm. no evil genius smiley, I'll have to look for one. I'll try get some screen shots together this morning and see if I can explain it. Marc :edit : alright here it is, I'll do my best. You see that little dark line right in the middle of the pretty red circle there? Its located just to the top/left of the parameter resize bar. If you see your cursor change to the resize one then you've gone too far. double edit: I just figured out a better way to do it... Click on the line and move your mouse to where the resize line is, then let go of the mouse button. I can do it every time now. If it doesn't work its because you either didn't click on the dark grey line, or you moved your mouse too far before releasing the button. Have fun Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Oh yeah... nothing like driving people nuts in the morning. Hehehe... having fun there Jens? :afro: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Didn't Jason already giveaway the answer? I mean, it only stays that way until you pan/zoom in the net editor, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Marengo Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Didn't Jason already giveaway the answer? I mean, it only stays that way until you pan/zoom in the net editor, right? 13354[/snapback] Oh no no; two different things. What Jason mentioned *does* go away as soon as you pan/zoom. This other thing stays that way. PLUS. I don't know if you've tried this yet Steven, but you can go back and forth between the two modes (stacked vertically, or stacked horizontally). When they are stacked horizontally (default "factory" mode) you click on the little black line of the vertical greyed-out scroll bar; this stacks them vertically. Then, to go back to horizontal, you do the click-drag trick using the horizontal scroll bar. I kinda like the vertical stacking Cheers!

Mario Marengo Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 How about this one... besides the vertical stacking of the parameter pane, we get the group list as a vertical pane (normally horizontal), and the operator tree horizontal (when it is normally vertical). Not that I like this layout, mind you, but it's fun to see what one can get it to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenong Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hey Mario, Yep, I got them flipping between horizontal & vertical stacking but never tried it with the Group & OP tree panels. Ooo... lots of fun flipping them panels around! Cheers! steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Ah, I see. I didn't notice that you had to be in list mode first. We did notice that there was some "rotate" code in there but never found out how to trigger it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edward Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Of course not, that would be no fun! Actually, I have no clue why is does that. The rotate stuff is still there. Just Alt+click over a pane splitter when your mouse changes to the resize icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
