LitePanels

Version: 40200.1

by: Katae [More]

LitePanels is a UI panel art framework aimed for use by both UI authors and advanced users. There is no in-game config. Configuration is done through editing a layout file. Complete documentation is provided in the layout file.

Copy layout_example.lua to layout.lua before use!

Special features:
» Quickly build modular, self-contained, easily sharable, fully customizable UI "panels". Complete with optional text objects and scripts.
» Full scripting capabilities!
» Built-in class coloring; Class Colors supported.
» Automatic panel to parent resizing with height and width percentages.
» Simple viewport functionality.

Enjoy.

Feel free to discuss this addon and/or share your own layouts, scripts, or show off your LitePanels UI in the LitePanels Layout Discussion thread. Please, however, use the addon comments page for bug reporting and feature requests.

- Panel borders can now be set to "SOLID" to create a pixel border.
- Panels with a % height/width will now resize based on its anchor_frame; parent secondary.
- New text attribute: outline - (1) thin outline, (2) thick outline. Setting an outline disables the default shadow effect, may be enabled manually.
- New text attribute: mono - True sets font's monochrome flag.
- Misc bug fixes and optimizations.

1.4.1 - 2009-08-17
- CreateFrame hook will load sooner, this should (hopefully) fix many problems with panels not being set to the right parent frame.
- The anchor_frame setting will now recognize existing panels as intended.
- Added support for Class Colors by Phanx.

1.4 - 2009-08-10
- Changed supplied layout filename to layout_example.lua.
- Border support added. See documentation for syntax.
- Percentage width/height rescaling is now on by default, attribute is obsolete.
- Throttling variable created for OnUpdate scripts (self.elapsed)
- Text object references will now be sent through to their string function.
- Layout "character - realm" names are no longer case-sensitive.
- New attribute: anchor_frame (defaults to parent). Sets the panel anchor frame if you'd like to anchor a panel to a frame other than parent while keeping parent's visibility, scale, alpha, etc.
- New script handlers: OnResize, OnDoubleClick, OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp

1.3.2 - 2009-08-04
- TOC updated to 3.2

1.3.1 - 2009-08-03
- Fixed a bug with texture rotate.
- Changed attribute 'active_scale' to 'resize'.
- Added missing attribute 'scale' to documentation.

- Super duper code optimizations.
- The default value for bg_alpha will no longer be set to 0.0 when tex_file has a value.
- Function text object panels will now correctly adjust its height and width when changed.
- Panels with parents that don't exist will now be attached to the parent when it's created.
- Text shadows will now default to 1. Set shadow to 0 to turn it off.
- New attribute: active_scale (off by default). Panels with a height or width percentage will automatically adjust themselves when the parent's height or width is changed. Usage: `active_scale = true`
- New attribute: inset (defaults to 0). Creates an inset on the panel. Usage: for all sides use `inset=5` or specific `inset={top=5,bottom=5}`. Negative values create a padding effect.

1.2 - 2009-07-08
- Full text object support added, see docs.
- Changed default profile to always load.
- A few code optimizations.

1.1a - 2009-06-30

1.0 - 2009-06-02

I think there's something more than the frame name, I'll try looking in the Stuf lua code, I'll post again if I find what's wrong.

That's odd, it's working fine for me:
{ parent="Stuf.units.targettarget", height="100%", width="100%", anchor_to="CENTER", inset=-1, bg_color="CLASS" },
{ parent="Stuf.units.target", height="100%", width="100%", anchor_to="CENTER", inset=-1, bg_color="CLASS" },

It's more of a simple configuration file than any actual Lua code

1ngo A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Hm, doesn't seems to be working for every frame... I must be doing something wrong. When I set it to the WorldFrame, it shows up. But when I set it to my target frame (I'm using Stuf, the name I get from the script command is "Stuf.unitstarget") it's always hidden. In fact, just by changing the target frame name by "WorldFrame", it shows up. But how can I find the good frame name if the one that prints with "/script print(GetMouseFocus():GetName())" isn't working? I don't understand...

Is there some way to hide and show a panel when targeting? I've made panels for the target, tot, pet and also party, but I don't know how to hide them when I don't need them. Is it possible?

Find the name of the frame you want to link your panel to (using methods in my previous post), and set: parent = "framename", level = 0

Panels will inherit their parent's visibility, scale, and anchor point. Setting level to zero will put the panel behind its parent.

I wrote a slash command for debugging children frames, ie: '/children MainMenuBar' or '/children' alone to get the hover frame's children. Lua here.

To get the parent of your hover frame you could use print(GetMouseFocus():GetParent():GetName())

There's also the new /framestack, but it doesn't work very well, not for me at least.

Ah I misunderstood the docu.

edit - Ok it's working fine, but the anchor_frame setting doesnt check for existing panels, which I overlooked . So you'll have to set it to LP_PanelName until I fix it in the next update. Forgive me for the confusion. Also, you're using a lot of default values in your attributes, I've streamlined it so you can take a look here and save some future typing.

Great and yeah, I wanted to make sure everything was working before shrinking it, thanks for doing it

As far as I know it should be anchored at the top right of the anchor_frame with its bottom right.

anchor_to is the point in the panel where you want to anchor to the parent. anchor_from is the point on the parent frame where you want to hook the anchor_to point from. So in that sense, it's working as intended.

If anchor_from is not given, it defaults to the value of anchor_to, so if I anchor_to the bottom of my panel, the panel will anchor_from the bottom of the parent, ending up with my panel at the bottom and inside the parent frame. I hope that makes some sense.

As for the anchoring problem with your totem bar, it's curious... I'm still looking at it. It may be a bug.

I was afraid of that, looking into it.

Found some bugs, if you'd rather have them in the bugtracker, I'll gladly post it there aswell.

Here is the code I have so far.

Code:

["Aresson - Stormscale"] = {
    {    name = "minimap_background_and_border",
        parent = "Minimap",
        anchor_to = "CENTER", anchor_from = "CENTER",
        strata = "BACKGROUND", level = 0,
        x_off = 0, y_off = 0,
        width = "107%", height = "107%",
        bg_color = {0,0,0}, bg_alpha = 1,
        border = "Interface\\AddOns\\my_textures\\glowTex",
        border_size = 4,
        inset = {top = 4, bottom = 4, left = 4, right = 4},
        border_color = {0, 0, 0}, border_alpha = 0.70,
    },
    {    name = "actionbar_background",
        parent = "UIParent",
        anchor_to = "BOTTOM", anchor_from = "BOTTOM",
        strata = "BACKGROUND", level = 0,
        x_off = 0, y_off = 22,
        width = 588, height = 68,
        bg_color = {0,0,0}, bg_alpha = 1,
        border = "Interface\\AddOns\\my_textures\\glowTex",
        border_size = 4,
        inset = {top = 4, bottom = 4, left = 4, right = 4},
        border_color = {0, 0, 0}, border_alpha = 0.70,
    },
    {    name = "bottom_info_background",
        parent = "actionbar_background",
        anchor_to = "TOP", anchor_from = "BOTTOM",
        strata = "BACKGROUND", level = 0,
        x_off = 0, y_off = 8,
        width = 398, height = 25,
        bg_color = {0,0,0}, bg_alpha = 1,
        border = "Interface\\AddOns\\my_textures\\glowTex",
        border_size = 4,
        inset = {top = 4, bottom = 4, left = 4, right = 4},
        border_color = {0, 0, 0}, border_alpha = 0.70,
    },
    {    name = "totembar_background",
        parent = "MultiCastSummonSpellButton",
        anchor_frame = "actionbar_background",
        anchor_to = "TOPRIGHT", anchor_from = "BOTTOMRIGHT",
        strata = "BACKGROUND", level = 0,
        x_off = 0, y_off = 0,
        width = 232, height = 38,
        bg_color = {0,0,0}, bg_alpha = 1,
        border = "Interface\\AddOns\\my_textures\\glowTex",
        border_size = 4,
        inset = {top = 4, bottom = 4, left = 4, right = 4},
        border_color = {0, 0, 0}, border_alpha = 0.70,
    },
},

On this screenshot you can see that the bottom panel has its anchor_to and anchor_from reversed according to the documentation.

The background I have created for the totembar also has some anchoring issues, I cannot figure out how they are messed up thou.
update: they are also reversed and the anchor_frame does not work or it can't overrule parent.

As far as I know it should be anchored at the top right of the anchor_frame with its bottom right.
