Hello MartinRinehart, I take the opportunity of your thread to thank you for the Edges to Rubies you link in your signature. I found out your tutorial some month ago and pages 15 and 16 made me on the track of animation. Just what I needed to jump into and now I am developing my own code I have just named a class the same of your 'Transformable' in your honour. It's quit different from your but the name makes me remember your excellent tutorial. A thousand of thanks once more. Have a good day Sorry for the sidetrack. Second time today!

Guys, I am pretty sure this is some (hopefully temporary) glitch not intended by Google. Bruce, would you mind if I moved the topic in the Bug reports?

@thomthom said: "treeware" = book? Yes!

See BUG report I posted: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=27534 Which apparently was noticed by others as early as 5 years ago (and it's still NOT fixed!)

@jclements said: Related to Chris Glassier' posting. A possible UI which is relatively easy to use is shown below. A 2-D application I use, XaraPro, uses a "Profile" dialog with some of its tools. **A.)**shows a drop down list in the dialog of basic presets. **B.)**shows how the user can tweek the presets by using slider or typing in values. Not only does the plot-graphic change instanteously, but the graphic of tick marks adjusts instantaneously depicting the dispersion of data along an interval. Just an idea of how choosing the proper the acceleration from scene to scene (or camera to camera) might be done. Me likes!

@unknownuser said: For the still-ruby-challenged,... Start with Chapter 11 and continue through Chapter 17. You'll become Ruby-literate. It's not hard. @unknownuser said: what about using q to do rotations in an arbitrary direction not defined by the planes? All my rotate stuff allows you to specify a plane ('rg', 'rb' or 'gb') or an axis. See my Leaning Tower of Pisa in the doc. @unknownuser said: I've got an existing model with several groups that need to move around in a related, but not quite identical, way. That's where ruby literacy has to come in. Alternatively, some brilliant insight that shows me how to create a generic solution to things that move in a related but non-identical way. Brilliant insights are always welcome. Martin

TM's? Sometimes its painful to help when I have to ask more questions about your jargon than about your sript issues

I prefer unompressed output as the codec when compiling to a movie file will compress it. If you JPEG compress the stills you'll end up double up with compression artefacts.

And again. This time bar should have been @foo.bar.

@dan rathbun said: @martinrinehart said: I am working on a multi-move animation controller. By multi-move I mean one which allows multiple things to move at different times, times probably overlapping so multiple things can move at once. Have you investigated the standard Ruby library class Mutex ? http://phrogz.net/ProgrammingRuby/tut_threads.html ... and scroll down about 3/4 of the page. As always, Dan, I learn from your posts. I tried to work my way through this chapter, but had very little luck replicating the book's results. Gave up before Mutex.

Hopefully the docs will soon be amended to reflect my comments.

@unknownuser said: A console and an editor are two different things. Ok, I see.. I do use notepad ++ as well. To be more precise then, my wish was for folding methods in console. But I get your point.

@tig said: This happened to most users a week or two ago - it told you even if you had the latest version [rubbish update checker by Google means you get nagged when you do have the latest version !?]... Your PC seems to be just slow in catching up "I forgot to wind the sundial. Now it's stuck on yesterday." R. Hunter

I had this brilliant idea (that was a total flop). Since the delay works between frames in an animation, why not just grab that one? Was working well until I moved the puts Time.now() - start out of the animation code and into the mainline: for i in 1..10 do waiter(500); puts Time.now() - start end That said something like 0.03, 0.06, ... So I moved a call to a continue() method into the animation in response to stop(). BugSplat. I think I know how to at least solve the starter problem. The animated "move" commmand stacks move specs that are then run in an animation. Kludgy? Yup. PITA? Yup. But it should actually work.
