Image Component Labels component

Automatically generates labels for all panel objects and components in a given context. Labels will always face the camera, and can show the name of each object, or any chosen property. Nesting can be used so that components within components are labelled, and so on.

Examples

No additional examples


Downloadable macro reference

This component does not contain any downloadable macros

Simulation macro reference

ShowProperty

Sets the labels to show a named property of each object.

Parameters

STRING Property
Name of the property to show.


Return value

This call does not return a value


ShowNames

Sets the labels to show the names of objects.

Parameters

This macro has no parameters


Return value

This call does not return a value


Hide

Hides all labels.

Parameters

This macro has no parameters


Return value

This call does not return a value


SetTarget

Set the target object. All items within the scope of this object will be given labels, not the taget object itself. If the target is set to zero or 'this', all objects in the

current scope will be labelled.

Parameters

HANDLE target


Return value

This call does not return a value


SetColor

Sets the color of the labels. Note that this affects all nesting levels, so any nesting

level specific colors set in the properties panel will be overridden.

Parameters

ULONG Color
Color to set the labels to.


Return value

This call does not return a value


Update

Refresh the labels after a change.

Parameters

This macro has no parameters


Return value

This call does not return a value



Property reference

Show

This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name show.

Decide what labels to show...

None - no labels are displayed

Name - shows each component's name

Property - shows a particular property of each component (see 'property' below.

Auto Update

This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name auto_update.

Automatically update the labels whenever panel items are added, deleted or re-named.

Auto Target

This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name auto_target.

When auto target is on, the auto labeller will label every item in its own context.

When off, the "SetTarget" macro must be used to set the scope of the labeller.

Color

This property is of type Color picker and can be referenced with the variable name color.

Color of the labels text.

Background

This property is of type Color picker with transparency and can be referenced with the variable name bg_color.

Color for label backgroiunds - may be transparent.

Always On Top

This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name on_top.

Whether labels should always be draw on top of other objects.

Scale

This property is of type Floating point and can be referenced with the variable name scale.

Sets the basic size (text height) of the labels.

Follow Zoom

This property is of type True or false and can be referenced with the variable name auto_scale.

Whether labels get bigger and smaller when the panel is zoomed in and out.

Auto

This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name auto_offset.

Attempt to automatically move the label to the side of the object. Choose a positive or negative offset in

any of the three axes. When 'off' is chosen, you will be able to enter manual offsets along each axis.

Nesting

This property is of type Fixed list of ints and can be referenced with the variable name nesting.

Whether to label child items of groups, groups within groups etc.

Off - only items at the same level as the labeller get labelled.

Nest levels - how many 'generations' to iterate into groups.

Show Leaves - does not label groups, but labels all individual items, no matter how far nested.
