idea for text viewer

[nortikin]

to create Frame for inserted ViewerText node that binded automatically to Sverchok viewer text file. So user can view automatically, no need to open text window. But question is size of frame and where to post it and if add new viewer, we not need to add new frame. And when removing last viewer, should we remove frame (i guess not)?
That is simple improvement, i think.

[zeffii]

you want to autosplit the (nodeview) to (textview+nodeview) ? and select the textblok of the newly created textview to match the textblok that the ViewerText is writing to?

simple Tickbox for ViewerText to turn on/off auto updates, and make ratelimit the update frequency,... like .. 'if last update < 0.2 second skip this update`

[zeffii]

if so.. perhaps may help: https://github.com/zeffii/BlenderPythonRecipes/wiki/Areas

[nortikin]

nonono, easier. Ctrl+J frame will contain text from sverchok viewer text file. no need areas

[nortikin]

so nodeview will contain text in frame

[zeffii]

oooh. i read incorrectly, literally the Frame . i see :) cool :)

[nortikin]

but autoupdate is needed, as sthetascope do maybe. or leave button...

[zeffii]

so, ViewText is added and it Auto packs itself into a Frame?

[nortikin]

that is question. where to put frame? maybe separately add as empty or to add framed text viewer + size

[nortikin]

additionally adding text viewer need to initiate text file Sverchok_viewer and create frame and link text file to frame than

[zeffii]

I like this.. difficult to decide, but I think option to 'Frame Me' would be neat for ViewerText , it would then autoset the Frame.txt to the correct one.

[nortikin]

or... define minimum velues left-up and add frame to leftest uppest corner once and leave it alone. We can additionally add form to describe layout in some text, adding header and description in upside of layout. auto-typography. this may be contained in some meta-data of layout and import-export. than added when importing.
Finding out username automaticelly to sign. I discribe my user experience as an architect.

[nortikin]

if you "frameme" the node, node will cover frame text and hide data.

[zeffii]

well I see your point, but you can frame.shrink = False and translate the inner node away

[zeffii]

but you are right, it does not need to autoframe the ViewerText..

[nortikin]

https://gist.github.com/nortikin/4852a618a14d9dfe439bafc2ff6c0c13
this gist prototype for init of viewer text
and i found an https://github.com/JacquesLucke/animation_nodes/blob/master/base_types/template.py can have popup windows at creation. this is cool.

[nortikin]

this is ugly, it moves with new node
https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok/blob/text_viewer/nodes/basic_view/viewer_text.py

[nortikin]

maybe better to add this node at layout creation... but how?

[zeffii]

There is no constructor for Layouts.. We wanted this to force an automatic User for each new layout. The only useful suggestion was to create an operator replacement for making a new node tree.

SvNewNodeTreeCreation(....):

    def execute(self, context):
         self.fake_user = True
         self.nodes.new('...your template ')

@nortikin don't use underscore in classname/ bl_idname for the node ViewerNode_text

[nortikin]

I use name instead.

[zeffii]

pitty Frame doesn't do syntax highlighting :/

[nortikin]

got it about underscore
ok. need to rename?

[nortikin]

https://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?388143-WIP-Blender-Plugin-BGE-Logic-nodes-Alpha what i found

[nortikin]

I admit we ned separate button for this frame stuff and so on.
question is how to add script to ops bpy.ops.node.new_node_tree(type='SverchCustomTreeType', name='NewSv')
with frame creation automatically.

[zeffii]

for convenience bl_idname and classname are identical for all nodes. (I think). ViewerTextMK2 would be fine right? that tells us it's a new / remake.

I'm not sure we can override default ops like new_node_tree , this is one area where Blender sucks, but we could replace the operator that's triggered by Ctrl+N.

[nortikin]

so, for now viewer text makes Frame at button pressing.
It is strange behavior, but i ready to push.
playing some with Frame color to mutch current theme also.

[enzyme69]

​By any chance, the viewer, can it be multi row and column with numbers like Excel spreadsheet? Depending on how many data plugged in?

[nortikin]

@enzyme69 do you mean text have to look like:

vertices | pols/edges | matrices
=1=      | =0=        | =1=
()       |            | ()
()       |            | ()
()       |            | ()
()       |            | ()

?
Or to add three frames for each? or to make frame for every node separately?

[nortikin]

the text from text area will looks like:

vertices | pols/edges | matrices
=1=      | =0=            | =1=
()           |                    | ()
()           |                    | ()
()           |                    | ()
()           |                    | ()

or

vertices | pols/edges | matrices
=1= | =0= | =1=
() | | ()
() | | ()
() | | ()
() | | ()

[nortikin]

or to break data that longer than frame height?

[enzyme69]

Hmm... in a way that we can see all in one window not scrolling to find
data in other column :)

[nortikin]

it is hard. Font in blender is not monospace i guess.

[enzyme69]

​I see... become comma/space/tab separated value is fine.

[nortikin]

ok, patrially text out node's functionality can be supported, but hey, why not upgrade text out node itself? we can use it to make csv file that updated every time (with boolean active) with form of data you ask now. How do you think? It is not matter of frame text, but of csv format.

[enzyme69]

​Sounds good to me!

[nortikin]

Dealga thought of it as i see from comments in code.
