Additional options for bars configuration

[RaitaroH]

First of all I would love to be able to put Glava on the right edge of my screen. Is it even possible through a custom bars config or not?

Also if that happens, I wold like the bars to go from the left edge to the right. So basically is like flipping the whole thing.

I tried #define ROTATE () in the bars.glsl but with not much success. If anything it only moves the window around the screen if I don't set Glava to my window screen.

@RaitaroH If I understand your requirements, you can't configure such in the bars.glsl file, but the shaders for the module can certainly be edited to allow that. I can add more options for the bars module if I find the time.

Just to clarify, you want:

• Vertically rendered or 90 degree rotated bars module (not possible without editing shaders)
• Inverted audio buffers (currently possible, use #define DIRECTION 1).

Is that correct?

[RaitaroH]

To get that I had to rotate in GIMP by -90.

Also I don't think #define DIRECTION 1 is that. To me it looks like it flips the bars horizontally and adds a divider in the middle. Here is what I meant (I personally want it as the above picture, so not sure if this is even required, but maybe switching from right to left or something):

I support this; I'd love to put the left side audio on the left border of my screen and the right side audio on the right. Bonus points if lower frequencies are closer to the bottom border and if I can do this with graph mode, as well. That'd be dope

I see, you want it up-side down. That's pretty easy, give me a second.

@RaitaroH You can now use #define FLIP 1 in bars.glsl to get the output in your second picture on master (re-run make install or update /etc/xdg/glava/bars/1.glsl).

I'll keep this open for now to add the other options, @wundrweapon's suggestion is also interesting.

@RaitaroH and that commit added #define MIRROR_YX 1, which effectively switches the X and Y axis in the shader, causing it to render on the left side of the window. You can use #define FLIP 1 in combination with this option to make it render on the right.

@wacossusca34 awesome. Thank you.

Result.

Hello, I saw this and had a similar feature request. Can you make bars able to have a custom rotation set like you can with radial. I am wanting the bars on a specific angle but after fiddling with the frag files I am not sure how to get it to work?
