This is Anybody-got-a-scrolling-non-text-view? in view mode; [Up]


Date: Sun 29-Nov-1989 00:42:39 From: Unknown Subject: Anybody got a scrolling non-text view? We need to get some rudimentary music graphics going and would like to use Sonata font (sensible enough, I should think). Before I go and create a custom scrolling object that allows PS font characters to be overlayed atop each other, has anyone created something like this they'd be willing to share?

I've created a custom view that scrolls, and based on my experience it SOUNDS like you're asking the wrong question. That is, you should be creating a subclass of view that displays Sonata characters as you please, and then put that view in a ClipView via the class's setDocView method. This gives you scrollbars and scrolling on your view for free. -william shipley next guru wanna-be a graphical nethack for the NeXT. See it Summer '90. >From: gregc@cgl.ucsf.edu (Greg Couch)
