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.

40100.1 - 2011-06-12
- 4.1 toc update.

40000.1 - 2010-10-13
- 4.0 toc update.

30300.2 - 2010-03-24
- Texture method SetTexCoordModifiesRect was removed with 3.3.3 patch. Commented line out to prevent errors.

1.5.2 - 2009-12-08

- Plugin-like support added.
- New profiles system, see included example layout for info. Although old layouts will continue to work, it is advised that old layouts are converted to the new system.
- 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- Percentage width/height rescaling is now on by default, attribute is obsolete.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.

1.3 - 2009-08-01
- 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

- Better parent handling with other panels.
- May now use height or width as a percentage in reference to its parent frame.

1.0a - 2009-06-02
- Suppressed "LPanels" error when the variable doesn't exist (when layout file is still layout.lua.txt)

1.0 - 2009-06-02
- Initial release.

The latest versions of Event Horizon, Taroven has added an option to fix the frame size, so now we can make a panel then resize and anchor EH to it

Well then I guess I'll update EH eventually. Glad its working now. And yeah more I play with Litepanels, the more I play with my UI, the less I actually play. Vicious cycle haha

Btw Katae, the more I play with LitePanels and LiteStats, the more I love these addons. Thanks again man.

Yeah I feel the same, only thing is nowdays I spendmore time playing about with my UI then actually playing

Can you add tex_tile?

Made a workaround like that:

Code:

OnLoad = function(self)
	  self.bg:SetTexture("Interface\\AddOns\\SharedMedia\\background\\hanks2.tga", true)
	  self.bg:SetVertexColor(0.22, 0.22, 0.19)
	  self.bg:SetHorizTile(true)
	  self.bg:SetVertTile(true)
	  self.bg:SetAlpha(0.66)
end,

There's a lot of code to begin writing a custom panel within the LiteStats source. The basic idea would be to add an OnUpdate function to your panels's code:

Code:

{ -- normal panel stuff
  OnUpdate = function(self, u)
    self.elapsed = self.elapsed + u
    if self.elapsed > 1.0 then -- seconds to throttle the code below
      -- do some computation to determine the color here
      col = { r = 0, g = 1, b = 0 }
      -- then simply set the background color on this panel
      self.bg:SetTexture(col.r, col.g, col.b, 1)
      self.elapsed = 0
    end
  end
}

Sorry, I don't know.

Ok last one (sorry) how can I make this display the class/reaction of the target frame, rather than my class?

Again, you'll need to create a function to attach to your panel, and set the background texture after doing a bit of computation for the color. You can use something like this:

Code:

{ -- yep, panel stuff
  OnLoad = function(self)
    self:RegisterEvent'PLAYER_TARGET_CHANGED'
  end,
  OnEvent = function(self, event)
    if UnitExists("target") and UnitReaction("player","target") > 4 then
      self.bg:SetTexture(0,1,0,1) -- ohai :P~
    elseif UnitExists("target") and UnitReaction("player","target") == 4 then
      self.bg:SetTexture(1,1,0,1) -- meh :/
    else
      self.bg:SetTexture(1,0,0,1) -- scum! :O
    end
  end
}

Good luck!

Disclaimer: I cannot test any of this code.

Do you happen to know the specific area in the LitePanels code I need to go to, to change this? I looked but I don't want to break it. lol

Any help would be appreciated
