Can't get tag list for gs:mouse-released event...

Post by oofoe »

Hi!

According to the documentation, specifying gs:mouse-released with a third argument of "true" will provide a list of tags whose member's bounding boxes intersect the mouse cursor position. However, this doesn't seem to actually work (see example code below). If the "true" argument is removed, then you will see little red circles where you click. Otherwise nada.

Any ideas what's wrong? Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

(load (append (env "NEWLISPDIR") "/guiserver.lsp"))

(gs:init)

(gs:frame 'main  100 100  800 800  "Demo")
(gs:set-border-layout 'main)

(gs:canvas 'main-canvas)
(gs:set-background 'main-canvas gs:gray)
(gs:add-to 'main 'main-canvas "center")
(gs:set-visible 'main true)

;; This is the affected line:
(gs:mouse-released 'main-canvas 'canvas-clicking true)

(define (canvas-clicking x y)
  (println (args))
  (gs:draw-circle 'C x y 8 gs:red)
  (gs:update)
  )

(gs:listen)

Seems the problem is more general...

Post by oofoe »

OK, some more data points about the problem:

* Using NewLisp v.10.4.4
* Using latest x86 Java from Oracle (jre7, platform 1.7, product 1.7.0_07)
* The "true" flag is not working for other functions -- for instance, there's no feedback
when I set "(gs:set-trace true)" or trace messages either.
* Since I couldn't use gs:set-trace, I added this line above the set-trace net-send call:

Code: Select all

(println (string "set-trace System " flag "\n"))
It prints:

Code: Select all

set-trace System true
Which should be right, right?

The button-demo.lsp program works, but doesn't output the trace messages, so I don't think it's just my program.

Thanks!

More about guiserver tracing...

Post by oofoe »

OK, I figured that if the flag for tracing GUI calls wasn't working, I'd just recompile %guiserver.jar and force it to print out.

So, I dragged down the latest source and added a new line to %java/Dispatcher.exe:

Code: Select all

	if(guiserver.debug) System.out.println("-> " + command);
	System.out.println("F> " + command); // F for forced... josh 2012-10-07
I recompiled and pointed Newlisp's %guiserver.lsp to my new %guiserver.jar. I figured this way, I'd be sure to see something. And I don't.

As long as I just want to draw pictures with no true/false flags I'm OK. Beyond that... I'm stumped.

Tracing solved, now have stack dump for tag list problem!

Post by oofoe »

Alright! Figured out the guiserver trace problem -- I had "Javaw" associated to %.jar files, not "Java". Javaw is not attached to a console, so it's GUI only. I was able to start my program directly from Java with:

Code: Select all

Java -jar ..\guiserver.jar 47011 program.lsp
Now I have tracing! So, I can now see what happens when I attempt to set the event handler for mouse-released:

Code: Select all

-> mouse-released MAIN:main-canvas MAIN:canvas-clicking true

This appears to be some sort of nasty with Java itself. Any ideas?

Thanks very much!

Bad draw-text call seems to be the culprit.

Post by oofoe »

OK, found it. In my original code (not the small snippet I posted), I had this line:

Code: Select all

(gs:draw-text 'T "Click to create a node..." 20 30 gs:white)
Commenting that out and tag return works. So, some problem with how I did the text. Have to go finish building a USB typewriter, so I'll investigate that more later, since it's a problem not to be able to do text too...

All right, all fixed.

Post by oofoe »

OK, seems the actual problem was that I hadn't set the font. Adding:

Code: Select all

(gs:set-font 'main-canvas "Lucida Sans" 20 "plain")
Fixes it. I guess the Java stack trace comes from not having a specified type metric for whatever it is that does the collision detection to determine if you've clicked on a canvas item.

I guess it would be nice if some sensible default was set up so that exception wouldn't get triggered. If I have time for it, I might go digging around in the guiserver and see if I can come up with a patch.

Nothing bright to add to this, oofoe, except to say: nice work
