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.

40200.1 - 2011-06-30
- 4.2 toc update.

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
- 3.3 toc update.
- Some optimizations.

1.5.1 - 2009-11-11
- Error handling added for invalid fonts.

1.5a - 2009-10-11
- Fixed pre-1.5 backwards compatibility.

1.5 - 2009-10-07
- 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- Percentage width/height rescaling is now on by default, attribute is obsolete.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

1.1 - 2009-06-30
- Complete overhaul. Many layout modifications, your old layout will not work without some changes (see documentation).
- Viewport, gradients, and texture art support added.
- Player class color panel setting added.
- User scripting support.
- 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.

Very simple to use and only using about .44 KB total resources. Thanks

If you use the second return param from UnitClass() it will work for all classes, without needing strupper(). I changed line 19 to look something like this: Code: local _, classname = UnitClass("player") local class = _G["RAID_CLASS_COLORS"][classname] Seems like a very cool mod so far .. still playing around with it. I always liked kgpanels but hated the overhead. Thanks for the mod!

Thanks for fixing it so fast

Just curious -- how'd you get the white bars at the top and bottom of your gradient in your screenshot... I'm guessing a custom texture. Care to share?

The top and bottom lines are both their own panel, anchored to (anchor_to setting) to either "TOP" or "BOTTOM" with the main box as the parent frame.

This is the same layout code I used in that screenshot

Ah, good idea, I hadn't thought of making a 'line' texture/gradient -- thanks for the tip!

Couldn't get my custom textures to show anymore after upgrading to 1.2. Didn't receive any error messages - they just didn't appear at all. Just wanted to ask if anyone has the same problems?

Are you by chance using a text object (text = { anything }) in the panel? Doing so will set bg_alpha to 0.0 and would need to be set to 1.0 manually.

If that's not the case, could you paste a panel from your layout?

edit: This will be fixed to not set bg_alpha to 0.0 if "tex_file" is present... whether or not this functionality is indeed the cause of your problem.

Hi, I'm trying to add a pseudo border to the Gladius class icon, but all I'm getting is a small box on my screen, which is not anchoring tho the gladius icon.

Code:

["Default"] = {
	-- This profile will be loaded on all characters.
	{	require = "Gladius",
		name = "GBIcon_1", parent = "GladiusButton1",
		anchor_to = "CENTER", anchor_from = "CENTER",
		width = 48, height = 48,
		strata = "HIGH", bg_blend = "BLEND", 
		x_off = -110.4, y_off = -0.3,
		tex_coord = {5, -5, -5, 5},
		tex_file = "Interface\\AddOns\\LitePanels\\media\\gloss",
	}
},

here is the code from kgpanels

Code:

				["- Gladius Icon 1"] = {
					["bg_insets"] = {
						["r"] = "5",
						["t"] = "5",
						["l"] = "-5",
						["b"] = "-5",
					},
					["strata"] = "HIGH",
					["bg_orientation"] = "HORIZONTAL",
					["anchorTo"] = "CENTER",
					["parent"] = "GladiusButton1",
					["absolute_bg"] = {
						["LRy"] = 1,
						["LRx"] = 1,
						["ULx"] = 0,
						["ULy"] = 0,
						["URy"] = 0,
						["URx"] = 1,
						["LLx"] = 0,
						["LLy"] = 1,
					},
					["anchorFrom"] = "CENTER",
					["hflip"] = false,
					["crop"] = false,
					["vflip"] = false,
					["tileSize"] = 31,
					["bg_texture"] = "TukIconB",
					["anchor"] = "GladiusButton1",
					["level"] = 0,
					["border_texture"] = "None",
					["use_absolute_bg"] = false,
					["bg_blend"] = "BLEND",
					["rotation"] = 0,
					["bg_style"] = "SOLID",
					["gradient_color"] = {
						["a"] = 1,
						["b"] = 1,
						["g"] = 1,
						["r"] = 1,
					},
					["border_color"] = {
						["a"] = 1,
						["b"] = 1,
						["g"] = 1,
						["r"] = 1,
					},
					["text"] = {
						["y"] = 0,
						["x"] = 0,
						["justifyH"] = "CENTER",
						["font"] = "Blizzard",
						["color"] = {
							["a"] = 1,

							["g"] = 1,
							["r"] = 1,
						},
						["text"] = "",
						["justifyV"] = "MIDDLE",
						["size"] = 12,
					},
					["x"] = "-110.4",
					["width"] = "48",
					["y"] = "-0.3",
					["bg_color"] = {
						["a"] = 1,
						["b"] = 1,
						["g"] = 1,
						["r"] = 1,
					},
					["bg_alpha"] = 1,
					["border_edgeSize"] = 12,
					["height"] = "48",
					["mouse"] = false,
					["scripts"] = {
					},
					["tiling"] = false,
				},

Thanks for posting, it seems the frame you're trying to parent to is created dynamically by Gladius, and not when Gladius is actually loaded. This is an error on my part, I'll get this fixed asap

Btw, tex_coord isn't for inset, there's no inset functionality as of yet.

edit: "Dynamic" panel loading and inset functionality are both working in the latest build, among other fixes.
