interactive conky

I agree with the separate bars.

I am on the mem window (third step cycle button).

Not getting much done today because of
The Walking Dead marathon on AMC in preparation for the season 3 premier. big_smile

Peachy would a function to change the perspective (or skew) of text be difficult?
example:

I know there are a few text scripts floating around on the web, but stepping out on my favorite scriptwriter would be sacrilege.. big_smile

EDIT
the grec function would be great in determining skew angle and direction.

Why the thought of it !!!!

I feel guilty for even googling "lua code" big_smile

I have been so indecisive lately with a new setup. Kinda like writers block, but not. smile

^:o yikes yikes
so you were on google and one thing led to another... your fingers "slipped" and typed "lua" into the search box??
i suppose it was a moment of weakness and didn't "mean" anything??

i dont think skewing is too hard to do... i just havnt done much of that kind of thing (i will be googling the subject myself - transforms and matrix's)
wlourf has some scrips out there that do fancy things with text transforms

A couple of questions on this before I begin on a project...

On the first page, mrpeachy mentions the need for xwininfo, and that it needed to be installed ... I did not see a source for that tool, and as indicated it is not in Debian sources.

Where is the latest and greatest source for this interactive lua? I tried to download a couple of links from the early stages but they are were broken. I just want to make sure I have the latest.

I am starting very small with the first attempt, just to build a conky that when you click on the Debian logo I have, it will bring up the Xfce or OB menu.

Thanks... Great work here by all involved, well done... cool

Moment of weakness.. That covers it completely!! big_smile

I have looked at a lot of codes, but they look like gibberish to my bias eyes. neutral

ill see if i can get to looking into it over the weekend
i also cant follow the "man page" approach to what is supposed to be going on with the matrix command in lua smile
have to do some testing of my own

so skewing is relatively straight forward

cairo_save(cr)
matrix = cairo_matrix_t:create(); tolua.takeownership(matrix)
cairo_matrix_init(matrix,
            1,--adjust width
            0,--shear vertical
            1,--shear horizontal
            1,--vertical height * height
            0,--moves horizontal by pixels
            0)--moves vertical by pixels
cairo_transform(cr, matrix)
cairo_set_source_rgba(cr,1,1,1,1)
font="Mono"
fsize=50
cairo_select_font_face (cr, font, CAIRO_FONT_SLANT_NORMAL, CAIRO_FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL);
cairo_set_font_size (cr, fsize)
cairo_move_to (cr,50,50)
cairo_show_text(cr,"HELLO")
cairo_stroke(cr)
cairo_restore(cr)

but i cant see how to do the double skew like you wanted in your pic

^ I think it is all in the math outlined here, it just depends on what settings you use.

cairo_matrix_init ()

void                cairo_matrix_init                   (cairo_matrix_t *matrix,
                                                         double xx,
                                                         double yx,
                                                         double xy,
                                                         double yy,
                                                         double x0,
                                                         double y0);

Sets matrix to be the affine transformation given by xx, yx, xy, yy, x0, y0. The transformation is given by:

 x_new = xx * x + xy * y + x0;
 y_new = yx * x + yy * y + y0;

matrix :
    a cairo_matrix_t

xx :
    xx component of the affine transformation

yx :
    yx component of the affine transformation

xy :
    xy component of the affine transformation

yy :
    yy component of the affine transformation

x0 :
    X translation component of the affine transformation

y0 :
    Y translation component of the affine transformation

Since 1.0

This might tell you what the equations do depending on how much calculus you know.
It is to late for me to think about calculus now, I may look at it again tomorrow.

falldown · 2012-10-20 18:25:51

Peachy I might be able to do this without some of your lua magic.

EDIT scratch that.. Thought I could do it with a large to small font size, but it looks just like it sounds. roll

Peachy how would I incorporate the skew function into the bargraph lua?

Last edited by falldown (2012-10-20 21:59:17)

mrpeachy · 2012-10-20 22:45:52

which kind of bar graph?
it should work like this:

cairo_save(cr)
matrix = cairo_matrix_t:create(); tolua.takeownership(matrix)
cairo_matrix_init(matrix,
            1,--adjust width
            0,--shear vertical
            1,--shear horizontal
            1,--vertical height * height
            0,--moves horizontal by pixels
            0)--moves vertical by pixels
cairo_transform(cr, matrix)
--##########################
all bar graph setup
--##########################
cairo_restore(cr)

falldown · 2012-10-21 22:09:07

My previous theme hit a brick wall.. kinda lost on where to go with it next.
(not giving up on it) smile

Soo on to another concept I had while looking at Peachy's blog.

Just started on it earlier today so I don't have much done.

little more..

Hi all, I'm sorry, but I do not know much English and so I write through Google Translate. Explore this section and made himself such conky

well they work http://youtu.be/8AD-huG3u5k

very nice work olgmen!

bugtraqstaff · 2013-01-18 09:19:40

Hi all again,

We finih the Bugtraq 2 Black Widow Beta, with the new conky... You can see pictures in our website on in our youtube channel.
The only problem that have its that lua dont admit more than X zones to click, but works perfect, and you can turn UP or DOWN the services of the system.

Thanks all for your help to create our conky that its based in your codes smile

falldown · 2013-01-19 01:34:43

Very cool bugtraqstaff.. glad you got it sorted out.

falldown · 2013-01-19 01:36:23

Peachy
Working on a new interactive conky.. using the bargraph.lua and trying to keep it simple. yikes

falldown · 2013-02-06 16:13:43

Panel in action..

Default interactive conky panel

Now to clean it up and get it all together.

Peachy is it possible to have lua find the local username and then assign it a generic name?

ansem_of_nexus · 2013-04-05 17:22:50

thought I would toss in my buttons.lua i tried to make this as simple as possible. Starting form mrpeachy's work I stripped it down it's individual parts clickfunction, button_make and button_draw. Then added status, override and count, the newest addition that I made was for a top list that I was building. I made a kill button, very simple, just holds the name and pid of a process for you while you decide if you want to kill it or not. I figure that I would post all of my button codes for anyone that wants it.
