Hi

How can I automatically size a panel so that it displays its content and nothing else?

My specific problem is that I want to have a module that will display a bitmap but I want the size of the front panel to alter automatically to show the button and nothing else.

I can do this manually of course but it would be nice to know if there is a trick that enables me to do it automatically. I'm foxed by this at present.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I think it's related to this: Can I access the offsets frin the GUI frontpanel?

Thanks rl. I was beginning to worry from the lack of response that I had missed something obvious!

You've confirmed what I feared which is that it is not possible to set the front panel size numerically from within a schematic 🙁

Seems like a bit of an omission to me.

I have placed a request for this feature. We'll see what happens.

Once again, thanks for your help.

No, but you can switch back & forth between a few different sized panels.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
