I have pretty much sorted how to add AudioParameters to my GUIs and use them properly, and I see that there are premade dynamic visualizers/meters that FGM has ready to insert. Is there an obvious way to insert just a label that I can still access programmatically (update text)? Feel free to point me to a post or example if you have one (or just a better way to achieve the goal)
I’m playing with a plugin that does pitch detection, and at this point I need a real-time view of its performance so I can pick a different algorithm or tweak what I have, etc.
(p.s. I am familiar with C++ but only recently started playing with Juce/DSP)
Nice stuff!
The visualisers are due to get a LookAndFeel interface. In fact for the level meters it actually exists already, but I want to review it first. I copied it more or less over just to get it working, so I might make modifications to the API.
An alternative might be to create a custom component that you place behind the analyser plot.
To learn how to wrap a custom component you can have a look at the ExtendingExample:
The most important things are to create that wrapper item that inherits from GuiItem, to call the FOLEYS_DECLARE_GUI_FACTORY (ItemClassName)
and to make the class known to the editor:
I consider that a workaround until the LookAndFeel drawing is available. But it is unproblematic if you set margin, padding and border to 0. The plot is transparent anyway.
