nicely!

Awesome tool. 

Thanks for trying it out.

Okay, I wrestled try to recreate the bug. No luck. I think it was a second level bug caused by the offsets getting trashed by an earlier bug that I missed. Maybe?

Better behaved but the menubar's height at the top needs to be subtracted from the display size, as the last two lines are outside the viewing area and scolling comes up short.

Yup, had missed out that one. Thanks jas0501 and lindatumblr for pointing it out. =)

Just wanted to say, I'm finding this tool indispensable. As a result of having the outline I can better organize the logic by adding more tabs. This allows me to localize related logic in a more meaningful way, making finding things easier.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Good to know that you're finding it useful :)

I was clear. The find function on the outline would be equivalent to a mouse click on the outline entry, and place the cursor in the definition line in source in the edit window.

My previous post came off a bit rude. I meant to say I was unclear, not I was clear. Sorry for the confusion any the bad impression.

Hi,

oops, sorry

i did some more tests, and it's not related to tab numbers,

I've fixed the bug and you can test out the updated version here. The user is now notified that the sketch is in Basic mode and the tool doesn't support Basic mode. Please try it out and let me know if things are improved. I've not been able to test it on a mac yet.

I've now tested it on a mac on Processing 1.5.1.

Many of the bugs you mentioned have been fixed like window not opening again, closing Outline closes the editor, including a major bug fix that was causing  the event queue exceptions while updating the tree from a separate thread. All swing controls are now updated in a thread safe manner using SwingWorker class and things work fine.

Try out the latest build here.

And regarding the compiler error free sketches causing problems, I'll need some more specifics. Please check your private messages.

Thanks once again for all the help in debugging!
      

excellent tool !!!
the errors i got, using the previous versions, disappeared completely. (winXP, processing1.5.1).

Glad you liked it! =)

Also, requesting forum members to test it out on Mac. 

hi, thanks a lot

Yeah, there was a minor bug and "int((" expressions were not getting detected correctly. I've patched it. I'd also been working on the alphabetical sort feature and it's now implemented in the latest build. Will consider the find feature in future versions.  

Check it out here.

thanks Manindra

Hi Manindra,

I'm having problem with lowercase "č" characters in comments. I get the error and the window doesn't show up. If I change the letter everything works fine. If I then change it back to "č", close Sketch Outline window and reopen it, it also works.

Parse Exception caught in buildTree() after -> "ke"
Near line no: 22 in tab boje_plot_03
Outline couldn't be created :(
The sketch may have compilation errors.

Sketch Outline has been updated to 0.1.5. Hide/Show fields feature has been added. Updated the screen shot also. :P
Latest version available here.

Do try it out, and don't forget to report any bugs you encounter.
Cheers!

@ manindra:


Hello, manindra,

in the other thread you asked me for further feature ideas:
https://forum.processing.org/topic/contributing-to-processing#25080000001460427

umh... I am not too familiar with your tool although it's great....

Some ideas:

1st
Let's assume we had a non OOP program with a lot of functions: I think I would appreciate a tool to display a diagram of the dependencies of the functions of the program. So on the left side setup() draw() mousePressed() etc. are displayed as boxes and then to the right the functions that are called by them all connected with lines.
This tree would thus show dependencies of the functions.
When you mouse hover maybe the function is shown in a extra box (scrollable).
When you click it, you jump to the Code.

Parallel: Show dependencies in a tree of objects / classes in OOP programs.

2nd
Also a check which vars / methods / functions are not in use.

3rd
Maybe similar to http://creativecomputing.cc/p5libs/prodoc/

4th
Also compare features of MZ-Tools
for Microsoft Words VBA
http://downloadbee.com/MZ-Tools-for-Visual-Basic-VBA-3.0-software.html

5th Navigation in Code
Then of course, if you hover over a method name "ball.display();" and you right click on "display" there's a local menu with a point being "jump to method". For a var or object or function: "jump to definition". You click it and go to source.

6th autocompletion
When you type an objects name you got autocompletion. ba -> ball.
When you type an objects name and the dot, like "ball." : it shows you methods and properties to select: ball.x and ball.display() etc.

Just some ideas from Word VBA etc.
See what you'll like of them.

Thank you so much!

Yes, this would be an enormously useful tool.   This is something we looked into last summer when we investigated rebuilding the PDE using eclipse.  Eclipse compiles your code in the background, reports on errors in real-time, as well as offers suggestions for correction.    In my opinion, replacing the entire PDE with Eclipse was too ambitious and overly complex.  However, if we can work on smaller tools that push us in that direction that would be wonderful.  Please consider including ideas in this regard with your GSOC proposal!

Best,

My experience is that (me and others) suffer more often from syntax errors than from `logical' errors. In fact, the most common and irritating problem seems to be when after a series of small changes the code fails to compile with the error message pointing to an seemingly arbitrary line. Then one has to go through all the recent changes hunting for missing brackets, semicolons etc.

Of course the best solution would be a better identification of where error occur. But a background process that could tell me in real-time when a syntax error is added to the code would already be very useful.

Hi there,

Hi,

Very nice tool!

Yeah, I could make that message somewhat more clear. Will fix in the next release.

I can test the next version on my Windows 8 pc if you want to... just write me a mail then.

Sketch Outline v0.1.7 is now available! Get it here: Sketch Outline v0.1.7

Still no icons for me (2.0b7, win8 64).
