Dear SFR,

Many thanks, but it doesn't seem to be a gtkdialog problem. I am using thunor's latest - compiled on my machine:

Dear SFR,

Here are two BaCon versions of your very nice cube demo. I had to modify the bacon source because of nesting limitations in one of my versions, but both attached binaries will run just fine. And the mod to BaCon is pretty trivial and explained in the source. There is very little CPU use.

Thanks for the great stuff.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Cool, thanks!
Precalculating sin/cos tables is instant now.

BTW, have you found out what's wrong with interference, because I tried it in Lupu (VBox) and works ok for me.

Greetings!

@SFR

Is there a gtkdialog version of your cube demo?

I'm just committing your programs now and I was seeing if there were any more.

Regards,
Thunor

Hey Thunor

Yes, a few post above, in attached tgz (I just re-uploaded it again, because vector.sh was creating some tempfiles in / instead of /dev/shm/.... Corrected now.)

Dear SFR,

I managed in BaCon to eliminate all disk reads and writes for your examples, which is hard to do with bash because you can't just call librsvg or gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf directly.

Works nicely and is modest in terms of CPU use.

With kind regards,

Hey Vovchik

I tried to re-compile both sources and got:

[vovchik]

Dear SFR,

I used the latest bacon 2.0 - released on 1 April - and the latest HUG 0.84. They are both available at http://www.basic-converter.org/. I just recompiled and everything works fine. I take it you have librsvg, since it's needed to transform the svgs into pixbufs. Thunor could, if he wished, make gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf available in gtkdialog, but then he would have to contend with an additional dependent functions in libsrvg, which is probably a bad idea.

If you are using the latest BaCon and latest HUG, the thing should compile without any errors.

With kind regards,
vovchik


PS. I used GTK2. I don't know how all of this would work with GTK3.

PPS. My compile line is:

[SFR]

Oh yes, so probably BaCon version 1.0 build 29 is the cause.
I'll try later with the latest version.
But both binaries work fine.

EDIT: Yep, 2.0 did the job indeed - it's all right now.

Greetings!

Dear SFR,

I have done some nice spirals here: http://basic-converter.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=doc&action=display&thread=314&page=5. You might be "inspired" to see whether you can get them to work in gtkdialog. The only problem may be the refresh speed, but I think it should be OK even in an interpreter.

With kind regards,
vovchik

[SFR]

Tasty stuff.
Here are Gtkdialog versions, but indeed, they're quite heavy, so on weaker CPUs there may be need to increase 'interval' value.

Thanks & Greetings!

[vovchik]

Dear SFR,

Very nice. I had to increase the interval from:

Script to explain comboboxtext widget

I wanted a simpler explanation for the comboboxtext widget
so I wrote this script to show a simple implementation.
Two different methods are shown. The first shows a menu
composed of 'items'. The second has the menu composed from
a list stored in a file on your hard drive.

to eliminate excessive disk writes you can use the ram based file systems on /dev/shm or /tmp for your temporary files ... just don't forget to remove them when you are done.

[SFR]

Hey Technosaurus

Yes, I'm using it ever since you told me about it in SelfCrypText thread.
And I prefer /dev/shm, because (AFAIK) /tmp might not be kept in RAM in case of full installs.
