Multislider pixel problem

itchyhead — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 22:23:57 +0000

Hi, i have noticed that the multislider is not correctly adding pixels to the height of individual sliders. Eventhough multislider’s height is around 130pixels, and its value range is 0-127 integer, the smallest value+1 is displayed smae as the smallest value unless the sliders height (pixels) is approximately double the number of possible values.

here is the patch:

I see your problem, It does change very slightly, but not so you’d notice, Might best way might be to times all the numbers by 5 or whatever, and make the multislider 5 times bigger, (not nessiserily 5 of course). Then / by 5 on the other side, as I presume you need the multislider as a visual thing. hope this helps

ok i managed to find a solution. however i dont think it should be necessary. i understand multislider max is not designed for high quality user interfaces, but it is important that all values are displayed properly:

#P comment 313 226 205 9109513 values out of the slider have to be offset and any value of 0 , 1and2 mapped to zero. CAN THIS NOT BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE OBJECT ITSELF? ie a function “invisible zero” which would “hide” all sliders that display zero , the lowest value??;
