foo_uie_single_column_playlist, single column playlist viewer Options

[terrestrial]

I have made a plugin that displays the playlist in a single column with "headers", which I find useful for creating a narrower and smaller layout.



This is a beta so user beware. Download

For documentation, please refer to the wiki. (thanks to FofR, and the other contributors).

Requires:

MS Visual C++ 2005 Runtime Library
GDI+ - only needed for Windows 2000

I want to add some details about $drawrect to the wiki, should I put it on the trackinfo mod panel page where all the other tags are currently or on the single column playilst page?

I am thining panel page plus link on playlist page. This way tags that work in both only appear once and the playlist page can keep to neat tricks and techniques.

What are the specific attributes of $drawrect?

imho most of the specifics and common stuff of these two plugins should be on the track info page with links to it from the other one.

$drawrect(_x,_y,_width,_height,brushcolor-_r-_g-_b pencolor-_r-_g-_b alpha-_alpha expand-_size blur-_size width-_border)

omitting (or setting to 0) _x, _y, _width or _height substitutes the value for maximal (_width and _height) or minimal (_x, _y) with respect to $padding. for example if you omit _width and set _x to 10, _width gets substituted to %_width% (minus / plus any possible paddings), but because of _x set to 10, you wouldn't see part of the rectangle.

both brushcolor and / or pencolor can be disabled like brushcolor-null.

when using any advanced features like alpha blending or blurring, rectangle is drawn only using pen color. if you specify brushcolor, it takes pen's color. you can draw only border though, using brushcolor-null.

example: $drawrect(,,,,pencolor-0-0-255 brushcolor-null width-2 alpha-100 blur-2)

alpha is for alpha blending with value from interval 0-255.

expand expands the rectangle by given pixels.

blur blurs it with given strength

width controls border's width (drawn using pencolor). default is 1 unless you disable border by pencolor-null. setting it to 0 doesn't disable border (as it stays at 1). border is on central (i.e. not fully inside or outside). for _width=1, the whole border is inside. for even widths the top-left part is by one pixel outside, the bottom-right one by one pixel inside. for odd numbers from 3 on it's exactly central (the same on the inside as on the outside).

compare examples:

$drawrect(,,,,brushcolor-200-200-255 width-1)
$drawrect(,,,,brushcolor-200-200-255 width-2)
$drawrect(,,,,brushcolor-200-200-255 width-3)

i hope you can make this informatin into useful stuff on the wiki. maybe some images could help .

there's a lot of similar things for $font, would you be interested in them too?
