i know vertical scroll comes out of [hi] preceded by a 6, but it seems that horizontal scroll is unimplemented.

either that, or i don't know how to access it?

it seems like this data should be available... anyone have any suggestions?

not sure what you mean, which hardware are you using for the hi? Interested in what you're after. I'd love to be able to auto-scroll things like text files or web pages, perhaps the hi could do it somehow. (yes, I'm just that lazy.)

although it doesn't currently do it, i think my mousewheel external could also output horizontal scroll with minimal changes to the code. i don't have time right now but the source is online if you want to have a go:

it does currently output horizontal info, however there's no distinction in the data between vertical and horizontal.

i'll have a look at the source when i get a minute to see if it's an easy hack.

i'm just using the standard trackpad on a macbook pro. i don't need to do any fancy autoscrolling, but i'm adding on to a sound file preparation utility for the monome and would like to have scrolling functionality.

@cj, (did i interpret that correctly?)

Not quite sure how to go about it. If it's a trackpad, which emulates the mouse, you might look at [mousestate] and do some trickery using its values...?

Also if you're working with sound files, definitely check out the waveform~ editor, which is fantastic. It can also accept values in to change the selection area and/or zoom (display) area, so these could be piped in from mousestate or wherever. Getting the sfinfo~ sound file length to start can help you scale things the way you want. I especially like using [mtr] with waveform~, so you can record some actions like selecting and zooming, then play them back and watch the magic :)

waveform~ is currently the central focus of the patch, and i plan to use the delta value from horizontal scrolling to move the display over (as you would expect). i could do it with the vertical scroll, but the HCI consequences of that make me cringe.

i'll look into [mtr], that sort of behavior sounds like it could be quite useful.

i've updated my ol.mousewheel external to support horizontal scroll and modifiers. It's also now working on windows, although i am not sure if the horizontal scroll is working properly there.

[hi] object horizontal scroll?
