what do you think about pre / post? Camtasia highlights the start or the end of a clip when you drag a transition onto it.

or start / end

let me fix that

Slide1 would fade in and Slide 2 would new flash in

another use could be

Slide 1 fades in. View Slide 1. Slide 1 rotates out. Slide 2 rotates in. View slide 2

@edvin the layoutmanager will probably start using the getchildren.filter( is Vertex). filter (is on the same “row”)

still means that the parents might have to shift too

@ron If you start using a grid to add some snapping features, you might get some ideas from this blog post

I actually read that one and thought about it

i plan on redoing those posts in kotlin when i get a chance

I think stuff like this could be improved in TornadoFX

Bounds gpBounds = gamePiece.getBoundsInLocal(); gpWidth = gpBounds.getWidth(); gpHeight = gpBounds.getHeight(); gpMidpointX = (gpWidth)/2; gpMidpointY = (gpHeight)/2;

with something like "val gpMidpoint = gamePiece.midpointX"

@carlw I'm very glad I asked and got your interpretation, because it made me realize that I totally missed the boat on the API 🙂 hehe.. I thought the first transition parameter would specify how that slide would enter when progressing forward, and the other how it would enter the scene when reverting. I realized a couple of things now. 1. We probably don't need to specify the transition when you go backwards, that's more like "let me go back and show you that slide again". 2. The

replaceWith

only lets you specify one transition. This transition dictates both how the new node will appear and also how the existing node will disappear. It's possible to create transitions like how you interpreted them, but for example the slide-left transition will make the new node slide in from the right as the old node slides out to the left etc. I'll rewrite the API, this gave me some ideas.

I'd like to support a background node for the slideshow as well.. Such a node could contain logo, name of the talk or whatever etc, so you don't need to include that on every slide.

I am so painting myself into a corner with this layout thing

let me try and explain what I am trying to do and you lot can tell me how wrong I am

if you have time 🙂

so I have 1 rootVertex

it contains its children

children are always below the parent

children know their parent, they dont know about each other

children can be parents too

so here kid2 has kids but kid1 does not

however when kid1 does have kids, the placement of kid2 kids need to take that into account
