bpatcher offset?
I'm creating a device with a collapsible MIDI input section. I used a bpatcher for the main section, expecting it to be easier to move aside using "presentation_rect," but it didn't work. A forum thread recommended two solutions: sendbox and offset. However, sending an offset message to the bpatcher yielded no results. What am I missing?
"offset" would usually push the child patcher's position inside the bpatcher around, as opposed to the bpatcher frame itself.
I think you'd want this message: "sendbox <bpatchervarnname> presentation_rect <new coordinates>" sent to a [thispatcher]
For some reason it didn't work for me. Do you mind sending an example patch?
Like this?
Move or resize.
Why not simply use 'script bringtofront (patcherName)' and 'script sendtoback (patcherName)'?
Because I want to offset it..?
Anyway. None of these methods actually worked.
Because you are still not clear what you want to do.
Offset bpatcher contents?
Offset bpatcher?
Anyway - bpatcher help file tab 3 for offset inside of bpatcher
edit
you can't just send offset message
you have to add thispatcher to bpatcher and design and measure your offsets
like someone said already, "offset" requires the inlet to be connected to [thispatcher]
of course it will also work using s/r.
you might alaso want to look into the sendtoback/bringtofront messages in the thispatcher helpfile.
Thanks @Roman
