scrolling in a window?

lists@lowfrequency.or's icon

Hi,

This seems like an obvious question but I can't find an answer - is
it possible to scroll through a patcher (and jump around to different
sections of it) by an object, or message? For example, if I have a
long patch window where you can only see a portion of it, and then I
want to scroll it to the right so you can see another portion of it.

Cheers
Evan

As part of a UI you're construction or to improve programming experience. For the latter, you'll have to wait for the next version of max (with it's zooming options). For the first, a bpatcher and the ofsetmessage would work.

If you want to auto-scroll the patch and it's not in a bpatcher, you can actually use a mini-javascript with

function scroll_window(x,y) {

this.patcher.wind.scrollto (x,y);

}

there may be syntax problems there, not sure. so from Max into the .js file, you'd send "scroll_window $1 $2" , with your X and Y anything you want. presets are good here.
or a floating control window with the XY mouseable.
