Hi guys. I came with a new schematic that represents a text and background designer. Of course, it is not a professional tool, far from it, but for the immediate needs? 😉

For easy adjustment of colors, I made a change in the schematic. Now the settings are treated with the Hue, Saturation, Value and Alfa.

Much better with the HSV controls - IMHO always the most intuitive way to choose colours.

Here's a little addition of my own - a little 'Save to PNG' module that can save any view (or part of a view) straight to PNG from within your schematic. You'll see from the schematic how it's hooked up - you could also input an area different to the whole view if you wanted to save only a small part.

nice 🙂

Yeah - good 2 see the changes in realtime 🙂

really nice work!

Thanks guys for appreciations. Good idea to save directly in PNG. I have not thought of this thing. I added something to save portions of the view. I do not know if it can be better. What do you think?

That's a LOT of options.

Just wondering out loud; a lot of us are using Knobman to create knobs, but couldn't we recreate such a tool in SM itself in some way?

I tried (and failed!) to have a go at a knobman style stitcher a long time ago; I'm pretty sure it is possible using the 'draw to bitmap primitive. I seem to recall I got lost somewhere with my trigger order - I was trying recursive drawing to the same bitmap (i.e. a feedback loop), and I just couldn't get everything flowing properly. Would be a nice way to rasterise SM vector graphics.

An SM vector knob designer is a great idea!

There is a working stitcher in the audio oak pack.

Awesome stuff! Thanks 🙂

Cheers AM - that's something I've wanted to be able to do for a while.
