Ruby View Output

Postby MyCo » Sun Nov 11, 2012 11:19 pm

Hi,

I know how to use the View Input, to draw something in Ruby. But how do I use a View output? I can assign the connector type, but how do I get the next element to draw over my Ruby Drawings?

Thanks

Just a follow up question, somehow related. You can also assign a Bitmap as output. How do I create one and draw onto it?

The Ruby component doesn't support pass through of Views through an output. I know that it allows you to set the connector type and maybe this is a bit misleading.

To get something to draw over the top just use another link from whatever View output you have connected to your Ruby component. The link order then determines the draw order.

You can't create bitmaps inside a Ruby component either, sorry. Could be something we could add in the future though.

Would be great if you could do this - it makes all kind of interesting scrolling and fading animations possible, and is also useful for rasterising vector graphics for speedier re-drawing of complex panel backgrounds etc.
