Control Panels

Control panel library for making control panels on monitors

specifically designed for monitors and control panels. no text input.

Example

local cp = controlpanel.new("top")

cp.addEventListener("reactor_is_about_to_explode_event", function(reactorTemp, willDestroyTheWorld)
  --- do stuff
end)

local tempDisplay = cp.newLabeledMeter(
  {1,1}, cp.colors.red,
  "REACTOR TEMP",{0, 1500, 3000},{0,3000}
)

cp.addTimer(5, function()
  tempDisplay.set(reactor.getTemp())
end)

cp.start()

This library depends on pixelbox for Meters and Knobs

Random notes that will be helpful when you use this

each object contains draw, many data containing objects have get and set.

each object should claim a click area.

each object needs to add itself to the objects table so it is drawn.

set will automatically redraw the item.

all functions passed into objects as the touch handler should take self as a parameter

Definitions of terms used as parameter names:

• pos, 1D table of {x,y} position on monitor
• color, a reference to a specially formatted color table
  • {dim,bright,frame,label,text}
• label, String label to mark the object with
• size, 1D table of {width, height}
• digits, int number of digits to show on the display
• width, width to make a text field, defaults to length of label
• func, touch handler function, first and only parameter is self.
  • func in addEventListener will be passed all parameters except name from the event.
• range, 1D table of {min, max}
• labels, 1D table of any length containing string representable data.

Issues

On craftos-pc the palette is only occasionally applied successfully, no idea what's wrong with it.
