WSCROLLER_SETTINGS structure

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The WSCROLLER_SETTINGS data structure describes the graphical settings applied to a specific waveform scroller. Graphical settings related to a specific waveform scroller can be retrieved and modified through the WaveformScroller.SettingsGet and WaveformScroller.SettingsSet methods.

 

For further details about methods of the Waveform scroller refer to the WaveformScroller class.

For a tutorial about the use of Waveform scrollers refer to the How to scroll the sound's waveform during playback tutorial.

Description

 

 

nStereoVisualizationMode

Visualization mode used for displaying stereo sounds

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic constant

Value

Meaning

STEREO_MODE_CHANNELS_BOTH

0

Right and left channels are displayed separately

.

STEREO_MODE_CHANNELS_LEFT

1

Only the left channel content is displayed on

STEREO_MODE_CHANNELS_RIGHT

2

Only the right channel content is displayed

STEREO_MODE_CHANNELS_MIXED (default)

3

Right and left channels contents are mixed together

colorWaveLinePeak

Color used for rendering peaks of the waveform line. See screenshot above.

colorWaveLineCenter

Color used for rendering the center of the waveform line. See screenshot above.

nWaveLineIntensityFactor

Factor of gradient intensity of the waveform line.

This value can range from 0 to 100 with a default value of 50. Values outside of this range will be automatically capped to the nearest valid value.

On the screenshot below you can appreciate the difference between the default value 50 (on the left) and a value of 20 (on the right):

colorWaveBackground

The color used to render the waveform background (default is set to Black).  See screenshot above.

bUseHalfColorsForPeaks

Boolean value that specifies if waveform peaks will have a half intensity color.

This field is ignored when colors set into the colorWaveLinePeak and colorWaveLineCenter fields are different.

Supported values are the following:

Value

Meaning

False

Don't use half color for drawing waveform peaks

True (default)

Use half color for drawing waveform peaks

bAppearance3d

Boolean value that specifies if the waveform scroller is displayed with 3D borders.

Supported values are the following:

Value

Meaning

False

Doesn't display 3D borders

True (default)

Displays 3D borders

colorPositionLine

The color used to render the central playback position line (default is set to White).  See screenshot above.

colorBorder

The color used to render the border (only when the bAppearance3d parameter is set to False) (default is set to Black)

bPositionLineShow

Boolean value that specifies if the central playback position line must be shown or hidden.

Supported values are the following:

Value

Meaning

False

Hides the playback position line

True (default)

Shows the playback position line

nPositionLineDashStyle

Dash style of the line that indicates a selected position on the waveform.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic constant

Value

Meaning

LINE_DASH_STYLE_SOLID

0

Solid line.

LINE_DASH_STYLE_DASH

1

Dashed line.

LINE_DASH_STYLE_DOT

2

Dotted line.

LINE_DASH_STYLE_DASH_DOT

3

Alternating dash-dot line line.

LINE_DASH_STYLE_DASH_DOT_DOT

4

Alternating dash-dot-dot line line.

nPositionLineWidth

Width in pixels of the position line.

nPositionLineHighCap

Type of cap for the high end of the position line.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic constant

Value

Meaning

LINE_CAP_SQUARE

0

Specifies a square cap.

LINE_CAP_ROUND

1

Specifies a circular cap.

LINE_CAP_TRIANGLE

2

Specifies a triangular cap.

LINE_CAP_SQUARE_ANCHOR

3

Specifies that the line ends are anchored with a square.

LINE_CAP_ROUND_ANCHOR

4

Specifies that the line ends are anchored with a circle.

LINE_CAP_DIAMOND_ANCHOR

5

Specifies that the line ends are anchored with a diamond.

LINE_CAP_ARROW_ANCHOR

6

Specifies that the line ends are anchored with arrowheads.

nPositionLineLowCap

Type of cap for the low end of the position line.

Supported values are the same as seen for the nPositionLineHighCap field above.

nPositionLineDashCap

Type of dash/dot cap for the position line.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic constant

Value

Meaning

LINE_DASH_CAP_FLAT

0

Specifies a square cap that squares off both ends of each dash.

LINE_DASH_CAP_ROUND

1

Specifies a circular cap that rounds off both ends of each dash.

- Values lower than 1 will vertically zoom-out the waveform, reducing its vertical size

- Value 1 will display the waveform without zooming

- Values higher than 1 will vertically zoom-in the waveform, increasing its vertical size
