Add support for dynamic grouping #31

@Tischel Would you be able to review this PR or close it if you don't want it in the project? |
|
A feature like this should include "growth directions" aka let the user decide in which directions the elements are gonna be drawn. |
|
If I may make a suggestion as well, a way of having it grow evenly among the X or Y axis would be lovely to have as well. That'd be nice to keep a set of auras centered on someone's screen. |

I added support for growth directions, supporting all the ones from the DelvUI example DelvCD groups don't have the concept of bounding box, so all of the centering is based on row/col with the user specifying a max elements per row. The main reason for this is in order to center an icon half way between 2 icons, we would need to know the size but that is all abstracted away by the draw function. In the future the base classes could be modified to expose a size attribute, but left that outside of the scope of this PR for now. |

That's looking pretty good :O |

What does "dynamically redraw elements" do? |
If an icon is not drawn, then the next element drawn will take its place. Example: if icon 1 would be drawn at place a and icon 2 would be drawn at place b, then if icon 1 does not draw itself (due to conditions) then icon 2 will be attempted to be drawn at place a instead. This essentially results in there not being gaps between icons if certain icons do not meet conditions Demo: https://streamable.com/4bh8dy Notice how when I consume my creature, the hammer stamp icon moves up to take its place since the group is configured as grow Right and Down. This essentially emulates the same behavior of the DelvUI status bar where it keeps all the icons grouped together. |
Why would I ever want spacing between the icons though? |
Yea that is fair, I can change it to always to be on if you'd like but was going to defer it to the user in case somebody had some niche scenario in mind. |
|
I think in general the simpler and more intuitive the settings are the better. |
Updated to remove the option |
Since #16 has gotten stale and I wanted new functionality, making a new pr.
What:
This PR adds support for dynamic groups that will either define static positions based on how many elements in the group or automatically redraw each element based on how many elements are currently triggered.
Why:
Adding support for this greatly simplifies setup of positioning of groups. Instead of having to go and manually position every element in a group, you can just choose an offset to do the work automatically. In addition, dynamic redrawing adds new functionality for keeping groups that grow and shrink neat and organized.
How:
It achieves dynamic redrawing by making
Draw(...)return a boolean value indicating whether the element was drawn or not, which we can then use to maintain an index inGroup::Draw(...)With dynamic redrawing

Whenever an icon in the group becomes not triggered, it moves elements above it in the group down.
Without dynamic redrawing
