Vyzor, UI Manager for Mudlet

[Akaya]

I'm in awe, Akaya. That's pretty amazing. We should definitely consider adding a Samples page to the Vyzor stuff on the wiki, if you'd be up for contributing. If there's a more appropriate place on the wiki, however, we should use that.

Was browsing through the wiki and noticed the "Vyzor Walkthrough" is blank. Sounds like a great place to start

yeah I did the same as looking at the alias makes no sense..

as do I put said alias in my system? or as scripts or triggers or what...

I'm a completely newb when it comes to Mudlet been on mud for years and years and that 'interferance' is just buttons done by a few clicks

Is it possible to remove/hide the scrollbar?

[Vadi]

By setting the right border into negatives, you can (or you can put a label/miniconsole over it).

[Akaya]

Hmm... thought I tried that. Works though! Thank you!

setBorderRight(-15)

I don't know if this is a known issue, but here you go.

While messing around with the Vyzor.Chat() arguments, I found that if you set the tab location to the right or left, part of the text appended gets cut off.

Also, though I do love the look of the thick border on the left and right, I didn't place it there and not sure if its supposed to exist.

That most assuredly looks bug-like. I'll take a peek when I get home in a couple hours (probably 7 EST or so).

One thing that has always bugged me about Vyzor was that my user interface was limited to Vyzor's main border frames: Vyzor.Left, Vyzor.Right, Vyzor.Bottom and Vyzor.Top. But I found a solution!

While tinkering with trying to hide the scroll bar, I not only succeeded in doing so, but was able to place labels over the main console, *outside* Vyzor's main border frames without straying from the Vyzor API.

Here's a pic of not only the scrollbar gone (and stays gone after the Vyzor Resize Event ), but I have a semi-transparent frame over the entire screen giving it a very subtle red tint. There's also a frame placed right over the main window displaying: CRITICAL HIT.

View Full Size

Here's how it works! Rather simple really. In the example above, I created a frame that sits on the far edge of the Vyzor.Left border frame like so:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

	MainScreen = Vyzor.Frame( "MainScreen", 1, 0, ScreenSize, 1 )

You'll notice that the x position is set to 1, which will push the frame all the way to the far right. I then have a local variable called ScreenSize that is set to getMainWindowSize(). This will make the frame stretch across the entire screen, main window included.

You should also be able to add Frames directly to Vyzor.HUD. The HUD is, itself, a Frame with one caveat: it doesn't draw to the screen. But all of its children will, such as the Border Frames.

[Akaya]

This is how I interpreted that, but nothing happened:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

--Create a sample Frame
Sample_Frame = Vyzor.Frame( "Sample_Frame", 0, 0, .25, .25 )
--Give a red background to the Frame
Sample_Frame:Add( Vyzor.Background( Vyzor.Brush( Vyzor.Color( Vyzor.ColorMode.Name, "red" ) ) ) )
--Add the Frame to Vyzor.HUD
Vyzor.HUD:Add( Sample_Frame )
--Draw it
Vyzor.HUD:Draw()
