While trying the gray-ring preset, i noticed that layer 2 which creates the illusion of space between the ring and the knob isn't saved as being transparent or alpha channel.
I tested the knob in Synthedit, it's white now.

But i discovered it can be done differently, by changing a few things in layer1 and removing layer2:

at first, knobman internally render primitives to 128x128 size. and next, sub sample to outputsize with anti-alias. if you set outputsize to 128x128, the primitives directly output pixel by pixel.

I've to admit that I used weird

sizes for my test.
I imported 70x70 and 111x111 pngs into knobman and output at the same size.
So, primitives are at the same size as well.

I'll do some more test with 128x128 !!

So i could set a initial setting, have the color change to some setting, then change back to the initial one.

As a work around, you could render the knob animation in parts and stitch them together in photoshop.

Yea, but a nicer and faster sollution would be to add this in knobman ofcourse

spent more time playing with it and seeing how the examples are put together.

this is fantastic

thanks again !

Updated!

ver 0.97
* color selector for primitive
* rotation center setting separated from offset
* specular parameter for RectFill & CircleFill
* 'Rect' primitive
* commandline file specify
* many minor bug fixes

http://www.g200kg.com/archives/software_knobman_e.html

duncan's VU meter is very interesting.
rotation center setting will help this but seems need some more improvement for non square widget.

* in default, specular for rectfill & circlefill is set to 50%,
then the old .knob data may look different from original.
* 'BeforeRot' check box is obsoluted. it will convert to
RotCenterX/Y on load.

wow!
i've never used layers,so i'm trying to figure what is possible.
thanks,this is amazing!

The only thing I really think you should consider improve right now, are things like rotation start/stop. - There is no way I can make say a "C" out of a circle, and make it rotate in every direction. It is too limited to have min = -180 deg and max = 180 deg. atleast range min max to -360 and 360.. (and maybe u sould but up a multiplier too, in case someone needs to rotate 10x times)

Again.. thanks.. A really usefull tool

request - pressing the tab key doesn't seem to cycle through controls. Any chance of getting that enabled ?

can you do drawbar-type things?

lalo · Post by **lalo** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 10:38 pm

nice piece of software..

some suggestion

anti-aliasing for the circle primitives

the fill circle primitive has always a grey outline...could it be of the same color of the filled part?
or just let select outline color

thanx

i did a mini drawbar using the rectangle fill primitive.yay!
but i'm sure the output view isn't updating changes properly,

i'll try again tomorrow.
