Multiple views (Ruby)

[DaveyBoy]

Hi Guys

The manual (page 156) mentions multiple views but doesn't explain how to use them. In the example below, how would I draw to the bottom view only?



As always any advice much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Use the first parameter of draw to distinguish which view is requesting the draw, for example like this:

Yes that works

Thanks TheOm

Hmmmm now I have another issue:



The mouseover is still active in the top view... any way to stop this?

It seems to be a bug. In the mouse-related methods the input ("i") object doesn't work. It always is index 0 by default and empty name (""). While in the draw method it is correctly indexed both by number and by name.

Thanks KG
Seems this has been mentioned before, I was just about to give up when I found this thread:

So adapting Tronic's "Trigger View" workaround and changing the cursor all is good

It is a bit of a hack but it works!
Hope this will help someone else in the future until the bug is fixed

Thanks again KG
