vvvv beta question
1

Hello everybody,

i’m new to vvvv have some questions about dynamic plugins (c#)

1.i’m looking for an option to adjust the hidden pins in a patch (e.q the Fullscreen Dimensions on a RendererEX9)

  1. is it possible to create a renderer through code, and are there some tutorials or snippets

regards and thx in advantage

helo chicken,

ad 1)
there are different ways of hiding pins: configuration pins like the Fullscreen Dimensions on Renderer (EX9) are hidden by design as they are not supposed to be possibly changed at runtime every frame. you create a configuration pin by using the Config attribute instead of the Input attribute, like so:

[Config("My Config Pin")](Config("My Config Pin"))

the alternative is a normal input pin with its Visibility attribute set to some other PinVisibility than its default true.

ad 2)
for a general tutorial read dynamic-plugins. creating a renderer via code…in theory kind of yes. in practice this is not a trivial task…what would be the reason for doing so?

you don’t need plugins to do that.

see this Module for an example

ad 1)
The idea was to adjuste the resolution over tcp/udp. kalle shows me excactly what i want ;)

ad 2)
i thought there is commands like CreateNode() and CreateConnection() for all the provided nodes. The Renderer was only a example.
