Coordinates on second screen

vvvv beta feature
1

Hi
scenario (happened in the workshop in Sevilla)

  • main screen 1440x900
  • second head TH2Go AE 3072x768
  • using Window (Windows) to set one of my renderer on one of the TH2Go as a pseudo-full screen

the coordinates for the position of a window in the second head are proportionally calculated on the base of the first head resolution. An optimal behaviour would be that also in the second head the -1/+1 coordinates are respected. If that is not possible I foresee my first module…

why don’t you just use SetPatch (VVVV) in conjunction with ScreenInfo (Windows)?

3

?¿?¿ i don t have any ScreenInfo node ?¿?¿

4

sry, it’s not a native node, but a plugin in the addon pack

5

ok sorry, just some mismatched placement of the addon pack, let check that out

6

What s the unit used inside the patch I remember something about “tics” or something similar but can t find the reference.

ok!!

now is i tpossible to change the values without having to mangle each time in the xml itself? I am having a look at the XQuery (XML) but with no success.

what do you mean by mangle?
you have to set the xml, of course, but that’s not such a big deal with Substitute (String).
create a template xml in an iobox with 4 ‘variables’ which are then substituted to the right string representation of the values needed
