Aesir An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 30 File comments: 143 Uploads: 1	LDB Launcher I was going to request that an LDB panel button launcher be added for quick click access to the grid and config panels of GraphPaper. But then I decided it might be a decent starter project for me. So, if anyone is interested and wants a clicky button for GraphPaper, you may try out GraphPaper LDB found under the Optional Files tab here at the GraphPaper portal, or on it's own page here: GraphPaper LDB Surprisingly, it works on my system. I would be more than surprised if it worked on other people's systems. __________________ -- æsir

I am working on a new ui and this definitely helped a ton. THANK YOU!

On a side note would you be up for a lib data broker plugin for gpaper or is there one already out there? (I haven't been able to find one yet)

Sorry about that. I forgot to trim the commas out after cutting and pasting but it should be fixed now.

Actually there's a Lua error with 1.3 apparently relating to localization. Here's the ~!Swatter log:

Code:

Date: 2009-03-09 19:51:44
ID: 1
Error occured in: Global
Count: 1
Message: ..\AddOns\GraphPaper\Locales\deDE.lua line 6:
   unexpected symbol near '='
Debug:
   [C]: ?

The same error occurs for each of the locales (Edited: Except for my locale - enUS), but I don't include each log entry as it's repetitive.

I tried wrapping each non-enUS block of translations with L={ ... } like we see it done in enUS.lua, but that created a different error. Removing the commas at the ends of each line of translation text eliminated the errors - but I have no way of checking whether or not that breaks the translations in some way. Deleting all the non-enUS also 'fixes' the issue, but that doesn't help the localization requirement too much.

Vrul A Scalebane Royal Guard Forum posts: 404 File comments: 322 Uploads: 33	It was /gp originally but there was a conflict with the addon GhostPulse so I changed it to /gpaper. I'll look into changing it so /gpaper toggles the grid on/off for ease of use. EDIT: To toggle the grid the slash command is now: /gpaper To open the options panel the slash command is now: /gpaper config Last edited by Vrul : 03-09-09 at 05:51 PM.

I was wondering if you could add a /gp that would be the same as typing /graphpaper. Every time I want to show the lines I have to type "/graphpaper show" then "/graphpaper hide" but if you added the /gp that would be awesome!

Nice work on this mod

I'm getting this error since the latest upgrade.

[2008/11/06 09:22:42-462-x1]: GraphPaper-1.1\GraphPaper.lua:36: bad argument #2 to 'strsplit' (string expected, got nil)
GraphPaper-1.1\GraphPaper.lua:36: in function <Interface\AddOns\GraphPaper\GraphPaper.lua:35>

Thanks!

The documentation for Align isn't so dense that I'd missed the command line switches. However, since you responded indicating that it should work, I decided to test it again and trace through the lua.

The issue I had is that subsequent entries of /align ignore the argument, so when I'd run /align to run it, followed by (for example) /align 64, that just toggled the grid off instead of creating a 64-square wide grid. If I enter /align 64 a second time, it toggles back on with the expected grid. If I edit it, I'll make it so it only toggles off with /align (nil), and otherwise creates a new grid with /align (arg). Thanks.

[Edited: And, yes, thanks for adding in the new option to GP. Playing around with it now.]

Suggestions for Graphpaper improvements:
* Disconnect the center line from the rest of the grid. If you change the centerline thickness value from the default (thickest) to another value (e.g, thinnest) you'll see that it moves the grid spacing when it probably shouldn't. The 'fix' option might help - but it is imprecise (because it depends upon the human Mark II Eyeball to determine whether you've created a grid that is perfectly symmetrical).

* Change the slider control for grid spacing so that it displays a numerical value and/or provide an input box so that you can set the value by hand. It's helpful to know the size of a grid square, so that you can ensure you're setting up a grid that divides evenly for a given display resolution. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing the ability to set X axis grid values independently of y-axis grid values, since no monitor in common usage has a 1:1 aspect ratio, meaning it would be (potentially) more useful to be able to setup a grid of rectangles, as opposed to a grid of perfect squares.
