Help with GRAPHICAL BROWSER, Is there an Official GRAPHICAL BROWSER support THREAD ? Options

[kabuki]

Hi,
i was looking for the thread of Graphical Browser, and dont find it.
Can annyone help me to point me the right way? Search has not returned anything pertinent.
I am looking for some description with GDI function. Where may i found a complete note about this component?

Actually, i am using $gp_draw_string function to draw text, because $draw_text has a bad render in my case.
but i cant use "end_ellipsis" or "wordbreak" with $gp_draw_string like in $drax_text, because it doesnt have this option.
Otherwise, i found $gp_set_string_format(alignment,line_alignment,trimming) that should do the trick but i dont really know what syntax i can put to replace "trimming".
Any one can help me please?

thx in advance

first,this component seemed to be abandoned by its father:)
and $gp_draw_string renders string in the use of GDI+,so,you can refer to MSDN for more information;
then,you now can use "ellipsis_word" in the position of trimming~~

below is the reference from its readme.txt in EN,i did a little translation~
$gp_set_string_format(alignment,line_alignment,[trimming])
○概要
文字列の描画方法を指定
○引数
alignment - 横位置
"near" - 左-LEFT
"center" - 中央MIDDLE
"far" - 右RIGHT
line_alignment - 縦位置
"near" - 上TOP
"center" - 中央Vertical CENTER
"far" - BOTTOM
trimming - トリミング
"character"
"word"
"ellipsis_character"
"ellipsis_word"
"ellipsis_path"

There was a thread but it was not official, it was user help users thread.

CODE

Graphical Browser

● What this component does:
Album cover browser for the active playlist.


● Caution
Settings are per panel so if you delete a panel, the settings for that panel
also disappear.


● Sort
Blank　→　Whatever works.
*　→　Sorted by grouped strings.

If you want to arrange in the same order as the playlist　→　$num(%gb_playlist_number%,10)


● Popup
Transparent mode
You can apply different level of transparence to every pixel. (e.g.: transparent background
with full opacity image and text.)
I think that GDI can't be used, please use GDI+ only.
Even with GDI+, text rendering without using $gp_set_text_rendering_hint(aa) doesn't look
good enough.

Per track
Draw order:
Popup → Per track(0) → Per track(1) → ...
Rendering settings (e.g.: pen, brush, font, ...) can't be set again midway.


● Image cache methods
Old
rev011 and older way. Cache images of all items.
Image cache is purged when switching playlist.

Cache images to the set size.
Image cache is not purged when switching playlist.
If the image cache reach the limit, it will be purged.

● About functions:
Functions are divided into GDI and GDI+. They are different in pens, brushes and points.
For GDI, to set color with "r-g-b", use a base 10 number for each color component;
otherwise use base 16 number with "rrggbb". For GDI+, to set color with "a-r-g-b",
use a base 10 number for each color component and alpha channel; otherwise use
base 16 number with "aarrggbb". If you want to draw some thing with transparency
or effects like anti-aliasing, use GDI+. Some fonts (probably OpenType fonts with
PostScript outline) can't be used in GDI+ mode. Full-width hyphen can't be
displayed right in GDI+ mode.

[kabuki]

much Thanks.
The component was enought mature, so the only restriction would be with future version of foobar.
Anyway, you [edit:]both gave me the help i needed, and more.
Cheers
