renoise.Views.XYPad

A slider like pad which allows for controlling two values at once. By default it freely moves the XY values, but it can also be configured to snap back to a predefined value when releasing the mouse button.

All values, notifiers, current value or min/max properties will act just like a slider or a rotary's properties, but nstead of a single number, a table with the fields {x = xvalue, y = yvalue} is expected, returned.

Properties

active : ControlActive

Instead of making a control invisible, you can also make it inactive. Deactivated controls will still be shown, and will still show their currently assigned values, but will not allow changes. Most controls will display as "grayed out" to visualize the deactivated state.

midi_mapping : ControlMidiMappingString

When set, the control will be highlighted when Renoise's MIDI mapping dialog is open. When clicked, it selects the specified string as a MIDI mapping target action. This target acton can either be one of the globally available mappings in Renoise, or those that were created by the tool itself. Target strings are not verified. When they point to nothing, the mapped MIDI message will do nothing and no error is fired.

visible : ViewVisibility

Set visible to false to hide a view (make it invisible without removing it). Please note that view.visible will also return false when any of its parents are invisible (when its implicitly invisible).

  • Default: true

width : ViewDimension

The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size for example vb:text { width = "80%"}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update on size changes.

height : ViewDimension

The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size for example vb:text { width = "80%"}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update on size changes.

tooltip : ViewTooltip

A tooltip text that should be shown for this view on mouse hover.

  • Default: "" (no tip will be shown)

views : renoise.Views.View[]

READ-ONLY Empty for all controls, for layout views this contains the layout child views in the order they got added

min : XYPadMinValues

A table of allowed minimum values for each axis

  • Default: {x: 0.0, y: 0.0}

max : XYPadMaxValues

A table of allowed maximum values for each axis

  • Default: {x: 1.0, y: 1.0}

value : XYPadValues

A table of the XYPad's current values on each axis

snapback : XYPadSnapbackValues?

A table of snapback values for each axis When snapback is enabled, the pad will revert its values to the specified snapback values as soon as the mouse button is released in the pad. When disabled, releasing the mouse button will not change the value. You can disable snapback at runtime by setting it to nil or an empty table.
