controlling the global-core variables
May 23rd, 2006, 7:49am  
I wish to have a function, which remembers the current settings, and then another function, to load the remembered settings back up. this way i can change settings as i'd like, ie. textAlign(CENTER), and not worry about the textobjects drawn after this (if i run the reset-to-remembered function)


so something like
Code:

textAlign(LEFT);
fill(0);
rememberSettings();
text("sometext",15,15);

textAlign(CENTER);
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
fill(random(255));
text("lala",random(width),random(height));
}
recallSettings();
text("brother of sometext",35,15); // this will appear aligned LEFT, and with fill(0);

snip this:

Code:

class gSettings
{
  PApplet papplet;
  int textAlign;
  int fill;

  gSettings (PApplet _p) {
    papplet = _p;
  }

  void pushSettings()
  {
    textAlign = papplet.g.textAlign;
    fill = papplet.g.fill;
  }

  void popSettings()
  {
    textAlign(textAlign);
    fill(fill);
  }
}


untested, but i think you get the idea ...

i made it with the most usefull variables..

Code:

public class gSettings
{
  public boolean smooth;
  
  public int rectMode, ellipseMode;
  
  public int textAlign;
  public float textSize;
  
  public boolean tint;
  public int tintColor;
  public boolean fill;
  public int fillColor;
  public boolean stroke;
  public int strokeColor;
  public float strokeWeight;
 
  public gSettings () {
    pushSettings();
  }
  
  public void pushSettings()
  {
    smooth = g.smooth;
    
    rectMode = g.rectMode;
    ellipseMode = g.ellipseMode;
    
    textAlign = g.textAlign;
    textSize = g.textSize;
    
    tint = g.tint;
    fill = g.fill;
    stroke = g.stroke;
    tintColor = g.tintColor;
    fillColor = g.fillColor;
    strokeColor = g.strokeColor;
    strokeWeight = g.strokeWeight;
  }
 
  public void popSettings()
  {
    if(smooth) smooth();
    else noSmooth();
    
    rectMode(rectMode);
    ellipseMode(ellipseMode);
    
    textAlign(textAlign);
    textSize(textSize);
    
    if(tint) tint(tintColor);
    else noTint();
    
    if(fill) fill(fillColor);
    else noFill();
    
    if(stroke) stroke(strokeColor);
    else noStroke();
    
    strokeWeight(strokeWeight);
  }
}
