Full Screen with Quartz Composer

[Gregory Cornelius]

Hi everyone,

I am using supercollider and quartz composer in a visualization project, but I have run into a small hiccup.   

The keyDownAction method works fine on an empty window to toggle full screen, but when I add the QC stuff it doesn't respond.    Do I have to use a SynthDef on the server paired with OSCresponder?

(

w = SCWindow("ligeti", Rect(0, 0, 800, 600), border:false);

w.view.background = Color.black;

w.view.keyDownAction = { arg view, char, modifiers, unicode, keycode;  

[char, keycode].postln;

if (keycode == 53, { 

w.close;

});

};

m = SCQuartzComposerView(w, Rect(0,0, 800, 600));

m.path = "/Users/gcorne/Current_Projects/ligeti/ligeti.qtz";

w.fullScreen;

w.front;  

)

Thanks in advance,

Greg

There is a problem with the QCView class in that you can either forward all mouse and key events to the composition, or not. There's no way for SC to capture them.

Based on a quick look, this can be solved with the 10.5 version of QC, but 10.5 only features probably won't be in SC for some time for compatibility reasons.

A hacky workaround is to use the Keyboard patch in your composition, publish the output, and regularly poll it to see if a key is down.

Sorry, for the moment that's the best you can do I think.

if you don't mind the menu at the top of the screen you can fake fullscreen and just leave a small invisible button at the top that you can click to close the window:

~screen = SCWindow.screenBounds;
~yoffset = 30;
w = SCWindow.new("", ~screen, border: false ).front;
w.view.background = Color.black;
w.acceptsMouseOver_(true);
w.view.mouseDownAction = { w.close };
// this is your small hidden close button
a = SCButton(w, Rect(0, 0, ~screen.width, ~yoffset))
    .states_([["Close", Color.black, Color.black]])
    .action_({ w.close });
// this could be your SCQuartzComposerView
b = SCButton(w, Rect(0, ~yoffset, ~screen.width, ~screen.height))
    .background_(Color.black)
    .states_([["QCView"]]);
// for safety's sake!
AppClock.sched(6, { w.close; nil });

I used similar code to this for using a SCQuartzComposerView on an external display (which wouldn't show the menubar at the top), but since it was on the external display I didn't need a close button...

Hope that helps-

Here's a nice "solution."  The ole invisible window trick:

w = SCWindow("Quartz", SCWindow.screenBounds);

q = SCQuartzComposerView(w, Rect(0,0,w.bounds.width, w.bounds.height));

x = SCWindow("", w.bounds).alpha_(0.0);

x.view.keyDownAction = { arg view, char, modifiers, unicode, keycode;  

[char, keycode].postln;

if (keycode == 13, { //closes on "w"

w.close;

x.close;

});

};

w.front;

x.front;
