If you're using PBs OpenGLgadget(), then you could try the code below (from Win x64, but may work in Linux):

OpenWindow(0,0,0,640,480,"")
OpenGLGadget(0,0,0,640,480)
Define version.s, major.l, minor.l
version = PeekS(glGetString_(#GL_VERSION),-1,#PB_Ascii)
#GL_MAJOR_VERSION = $821B
#GL_MINOR ...

Users such as Idle & pf have recently been making large strides towards providing other PB users with the ability to use modern (motion) graphics in their projects. Rendering closed paths (such as the one pf has presented here) form an important part of this.

See what Idle is working on here: https ...

That's today's youth's common assumption and that's why even as far as technology has advanced things are still clunky. I'll run some tests again and see if you're right.


Don't get me wrong, I still use lookup tables for some computationally-heavy image processing (as it's doing millions of ...

@pf - Thanks for posting.


I get it. I was making things work in code before the Internet so i don't know anything. I'll ignore your posts from now on and won't share how bits and bytes work down below.


Quite a disappointing attitude really; There are times that our age and past experiences can ...

Not quite; You are concatenating literal strings here & the concatenated string is no longer a 'literal string' by definition.

The mouse movements are being caught in a queue as you're only processing one OS event per frame, whereas you should be handling all of them.

Replace:

Event = WaitWindowEvent()

With:


Repeat
Event = WindowEvent()
Select Event
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow : End
EndSelect
Until Event = 0

Did you not read my second post? How is that not a bug?

Thanks for your input mk, but the code below doesn't present the error, what's the difference?


OpenConsole()
DisableDebugger

It's a bug when opening a console window whilst the debugger is disabled in code.

This code presents a 'No console is currently opened' error ...

Closing the console window causes a 'The debugged executable quit unexpectedly' error:

Wow, this is great :!:

I'd never heard about lottie files until now - it turns out that I had a number of them already stored locally as Microsoft uses them.

I modified your module to allow for rendering into a canvas gadget as the image gadget was flickering:

In your CreateAnimation ...

Both ValF & ValD are much quicker for me now Fred, thanks a lot.

No crashes to report here on x64.

I echo Bisonte's sentiment that a simple list of the new commands, parameters & flags would be really useful in testing.

A few points regarding the ScreenGadgetMultipleWindow.pb sample:

The progress bars have a cosmetic issue when the values are down towards the ...

Thanks for the updates - The new ScreenGadget library looks like it could be a great new edition, very cool

atof() doesn't work for me Oliver, I think it could be a 64 bit compatibility issue.

wtof() works though, and as this doesn't require the ascii conversion it's an order of magnitude faster. A downside for me was that it didn't handle conversion of PBs Binary (%) or Hexadecimal ($) prefixed strings.

No it isn't - the caller of this function (a data parser) knows precisely what the delimiting character is (null, comma, pipe, space, tab etc.).

This wasn't a 'Tricks 'n' Tips' post...
