NinjaPanel showing some basic LDB plugins

Configuration screen

NinjaPanel Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

NinjaPanel... so sneaky you'll hardly know it's there

What is NinjaPanel?

NinjaPanel is a simple, easy-to-configure display for LDB data objects. If you're not familiar with LDB, it's a simple standard that addon authors can use to provide information to other addons without needing to write any code specifically for them. This is helping to break the fubar/titan stronghold by providing a standard flexible enough to let any addon display the information.

Okay, so what does it do?

NinjaPanel will display any LDB plugins you have installed. Currently it displays all of them, although options are forthcoming to disable the display for certain plugins. It also can provide you quick access to addon options and other configurations via "launchers", simple icons that sit on the panel. Most addons that provide minimap icons (which we all hate) also provide launchers. All plugins can be dragged around the panel to re-order them, so they're displayed exactly as you'd like them to be.

Where are the options?

There aren't currently many configuration options for this addon other than the ability to enable or disable specific plugins, but I wanted to get a release out to get some feedback from the community. You can expect the following options to be implemented at some point:

Display the panel on the top, bottom, left or right of the screen
Change the height/width of the panel
Customize data objects to hide the icon, text, etc.

So where do I get plugins?

You may be surprised at how many addons already provide some sort of LDB data object, but if you're looking for new ones to try out you can check the category listings at your favorite addon site:

WoWInterface - http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/cat108.html
WowAce - http://www.wowace.com/projects/?search=Broker

How did you manage to get TomTom Crazy Arrow in the panel

NinjaPanel introduces support for icon colors and coordinates using the following fields in the LDB data object:

iconR - The red component value of the color
iconG - The green component value of the color
iconB - The blue component value of the color
iconCoords - A table containing the texCoords to be set on the icon

I will soon expand iconCoords to support the 8-value version, as well as iconRotate to support arbitrary rotations using the new API.

These features are used in the latest version of TomTom to allow you to display the crazy arrow in NinjaPanel.

Anything else?

Please feed free to leave any suggestions or feedback! I'm interested to see what the community would like to see in a panel addon that I can easily provide.

Thanks for using my addons!

slickwalker A Deviate Faerie Dragon Forum posts: 16 File comments: 120 Uploads: 0	Had I know the clique author had made a data display addon i would have used it long ago Looks good so far so I will keep an eye on it until it's finished. Specifically for me, tooltip hiding and scaling per plugin. Didnt see that in the copy I tested out.

If they aren't appearing in the list, you should reset your SV.

/run NinjaPanelDB= {}

then

/console reloadui

Aesir An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 159 Uploads: 1	Plug-in Positioning This feature request may be part of the descriptive text where you write, "Customize data objects to hide the icon, text, etc." I would like to see the ability to fix positions for the different plug-ins. As an example: I think I like the TomTom crazy arrow centered on the panel. Currently, as data/text from different plug-ins change, the position of plug-ins also change to shift over as more or less text is displayed by a given plug-in. For me, certain UI elements (e.g., a tracker arrow) need to remain in fixed locations so I can observe the information given by the UI at a glance. What do you think? __________________ -- æsir

BTW: This is one of the best LDB panels yet. Simple, small, and effective! I love it!

Someone else reported the same, but there's nothing I can do to fix it.. considering the frame is anchored correctly. I'm open to suggestion or troubleshooting help =)
