Would you consider adding the following functionality to Lua drawings.

At the moment, unless I'm missing a trick, I can't simply clear all the drawing objects from the screen, and leave them in memory, ie to be switched back on.

Say a command like this:

draw.show(0 or 1)

Maybe  :-[ ... set_config_value(1,0) ...

What? How could set_config_value possibly relate to pigeonhill's question about the drawing library?  :blink:

@pigeonhill it looks to me like the current drawings are stored in the global SCREEN_DRAWINGS
So you might be able to do something like
saved_drawings = SCREEN_DRAWINGS
SCREEN_DRAWINGS = {}

and then to re-enable
SCREEN_DRAWINGS = saved_drawings

Note I haven't tested this, it could break things if the contents of SCREEN_DRAWINGS are referenced through other variables. From a quick skim I don't think it should be a problem, but I didn't go over the whole file in detail.

@reyalp

Thanks for the idea. I’ll give it a try and report back.

Cheers

An alternative to reyalp's suggestion would be to implement your own 'draw_redraw' function that tested a local variable to decide whether to call the draw.redraw module function or not. If you want to erase the current drawing from the screen you can call 'draw_clear' (not draw.clear) like the draw.redraw function does in drawings.lua.


The drawings module code is in CHDK/LUALIB/drawings.lua so you could also modify your copy of this to extend it - if you make some worthwhile changes we can always merge them into the CHDK source repository.

@reyalp @philmoz

All is right with the world  :)

Thanks to your suggestions, I looked at the LUALIB drawings and realised I could achieve what I was after simply like this:

Code: [Select]
elseif (is_key("display") and get_alt_mode()) then
        if show then
            draw_clear()
            show = false
        elseif not show then
            draw.overdraw()
            show = true
        end
    end
