LitePanels

Version: 40200.1

by: Katae [More]

LitePanels is a UI panel art framework aimed for use by both UI authors and advanced users. There is no in-game config. Configuration is done through editing a layout file. Complete documentation is provided in the layout file.

Copy layout_example.lua to layout.lua before use!

Special features:
» Quickly build modular, self-contained, easily sharable, fully customizable UI "panels". Complete with optional text objects and scripts.
» Full scripting capabilities!
» Built-in class coloring; Class Colors supported.
» Automatic panel to parent resizing with height and width percentages.
» Simple viewport functionality.

Enjoy.

Feel free to discuss this addon and/or share your own layouts, scripts, or show off your LitePanels UI in the LitePanels Layout Discussion thread. Please, however, use the addon comments page for bug reporting and feature requests.

40000.1 - 2010-10-13
- 4.0 toc update.

30300.2 - 2010-03-24
- Texture method SetTexCoordModifiesRect was removed with 3.3.3 patch. Commented line out to prevent errors.

1.5.2 - 2009-12-08
- 3.3 toc update.
- Some optimizations.

1.5.1 - 2009-11-11

- Plugin-like support added.
- New profiles system, see included example layout for info. Although old layouts will continue to work, it is advised that old layouts are converted to the new system.
- Panel borders can now be set to "SOLID" to create a pixel border.
- Panels with a % height/width will now resize based on its anchor_frame; parent secondary.
- New text attribute: outline - (1) thin outline, (2) thick outline. Setting an outline disables the default shadow effect, may be enabled manually.
- New text attribute: mono - True sets font's monochrome flag.
- Misc bug fixes and optimizations.

1.4.1 - 2009-08-17
- CreateFrame hook will load sooner, this should (hopefully) fix many problems with panels not being set to the right parent frame.
- The anchor_frame setting will now recognize existing panels as intended.
- Added support for Class Colors by Phanx.

1.4 - 2009-08-10
- Changed supplied layout filename to layout_example.lua.
- Border support added. See documentation for syntax.
- Percentage width/height rescaling is now on by default, attribute is obsolete.
- Throttling variable created for OnUpdate scripts (self.elapsed)
- Text object references will now be sent through to their string function.
- Layout "character - realm" names are no longer case-sensitive.
- New attribute: anchor_frame (defaults to parent). Sets the panel anchor frame if you'd like to anchor a panel to a frame other than parent while keeping parent's visibility, scale, alpha, etc.
- New script handlers: OnResize, OnDoubleClick, OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp

1.3.2 - 2009-08-04
- TOC updated to 3.2

1.3.1 - 2009-08-03
- Fixed a bug with texture rotate.
- Changed attribute 'active_scale' to 'resize'.
- Added missing attribute 'scale' to documentation.

1.3 - 2009-08-01
- Super duper code optimizations.
- The default value for bg_alpha will no longer be set to 0.0 when tex_file has a value.
- Function text object panels will now correctly adjust its height and width when changed.
- Panels with parents that don't exist will now be attached to the parent when it's created.
- Text shadows will now default to 1. Set shadow to 0 to turn it off.
- New attribute: active_scale (off by default). Panels with a height or width percentage will automatically adjust themselves when the parent's height or width is changed. Usage: `active_scale = true`
- New attribute: inset (defaults to 0). Creates an inset on the panel. Usage: for all sides use `inset=5` or specific `inset={top=5,bottom=5}`. Negative values create a padding effect.

1.2 - 2009-07-08
- Full text object support added, see docs.
- Changed default profile to always load.
- A few code optimizations.

1.1a - 2009-06-30

1.0 - 2009-06-02

I am assuming that I will be able to use my own texture.

Thank you

Full border support is actually in the current version with complete docs in the example layout. I'm currently working on making Litepanels embeddable with a plugin-type interface.

I'd love to hear any more suggestions on how to improve the mod

Border support is working in the next version, just working out some kinks. Check back in the next couple days.

You may also make a psudo-border with 1 x 100% height/width panels anchored to the top/bottom/left/right parent panel. Like so.

thanks! now works perfectly.

But now i have another little problem, how to make a border for this panel?

Code:

-- sThreatMeter2

    { name = "Threat",},
    { require = "sThreatMeter2", 
    OnLoad = function(self) 
    if not sThreatMeterBar1 then self:Hide() end -- hide panel when bars aren't shown on ui load
    self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
    self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
    end,
    OnEvent = function(self, event)
    if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
    self:Hide()
    elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
    self:Show()
    end
    end,
    height = 124, 
    width = 210, 
	bg_alpha = 0.2, 
	bg_color = "CLASS",
	anchor_to = "BOTTOMLEFT",
	x_off = 375,
	y_off = 30,
},

Ok I can see the problem, sThreatMeter's frame is always shown and the bars aren't parented to it, so you could possibly hide/show on combat state. This worked for me:

Code:

{ require = "sThreatMeter2", 
  OnLoad = function(self) 
    if not sThreatMeterBar1 then self:Hide() end -- hide panel when bars aren't shown on ui load
    self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED")
    self:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED")
  end,
  OnEvent = function(self, event)
    if event == "PLAYER_REGEN_ENABLED" then
      self:Hide()
    elseif event == "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLED" then
      self:Show()
    end
  end,
  height = 10, width = 10,
}

Setting parent to the meter's frame should do the trick:

Code:

{ parent = "sThreatMeter", require = "sThreatMeter2", level = 0,
  width = "100%" height = "100%", inset = -10 }

I'll just repeat here for others what I said in PM. When using character accents, or any other unicode characters, you must save layout file encoding in UTF-8.

Works like a charm now. Thank you.

Thanks for posting, it seems the frame you're trying to parent to is created dynamically by Gladius, and not when Gladius is actually loaded. This is an error on my part, I'll get this fixed asap

Btw, tex_coord isn't for inset, there's no inset functionality as of yet.

edit: "Dynamic" panel loading and inset functionality are both working in the latest build, among other fixes.
