Flexible info screen

[Greg]

On the 550D works loading config?

[nicxor]

Is it possible to add hyperfocal info and focus distance ?
I'm on 500d

Flexinfo is really awesome !!

flexinfo on 5D2

https://bitbucket.org/pravdomil/magic-lantern-hack/commits/all
pull request?

[g3gg0]

there is no 5D2 version yet?
sure, create a pull req then.

[pravdomil]

not yet
https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/pull-request/147/flexinfo-to-5d2

but minutes are not redrawed correctly

[pravdomil]

hours too

[pravdomil]

it caused by
bfnt_puts(str, pos_x, pos_y, COLOR_RED, COLOR_GREEN1);
this will not print green bg, but only red text, thats why the previous screenshot
I will use INFO_FONT_LARGE

[g3gg0]

hmm true, but it works on 7D without any issue.
can you try to add a filled rectangle right before printing the text?

[pravdomil]

yes, I tried add some bg rect, but it was flickering sometimes
font_large is cleanest sollution or how to fix bfnt_puts func?
nice info screen

update:

flexinfo now supports LiveView too.
just add your configuration there.

Code: [Select]

info_elem_t info_config_liveview[] =
{
    { .config = { { INFO_TYPE_CONFIG } } },
    { .text = { { INFO_TYPE_TEXT, { 150, 20, 2, .name = "Note" }}, "<FlexInfo unconfigured>", COLOR_CYAN, INFO_COL_PEEK, INFO_FONT_SMALL } },
    { .type = INFO_TYPE_END },
};

we now have dynamic configuration

just register a element using

Code: [Select]

info_elem_t *info_add_item();

you get a info_elem_t* back, that you can set up exactly like the static configuration in flexinfo.c
set its type e.g. to INFO_TYPE_STRING and fill the fields and it will print the specified string

we now have dynamic items

register a new item using info_add_item(), set its type to INFO_TYPE_DYNAMIC and register a print() function.
whenever flexinfo redraws, your code gets called and has to:
 - always update element->pos.x, y, w, h
 - paint ONLY when (run_type == INFO_PRINT)

here some example:

Code: [Select]


#include <flexinfo.h>
uint32_t dyn_print(info_elem_t *element, uint32_t run_type)
{
    element->hdr.pos.w = 200;
    element->hdr.pos.h = 40;
   
    switch(run_type)
    {
        case INFO_PRERUN:
            break;
        case INFO_PRINT:
            bmp_printf(FONT_LARGE, element->hdr.pos.x, element->hdr.pos.y, "TEST");
            break;
    }
   
    element->hdr.pos.x++;
    element->hdr.pos.x %= 600;
   
    return 0;
}

static void run_test()
{
    info_elem_t *item = info_add_item();
   
    item->dynamic.print = &dyn_print;
    item->dynamic.hdr.pos.x = 0;
    item->dynamic.hdr.pos.y = 40;
    item->dynamic.hdr.pos.z = 2;
    strcpy(item->dynamic.hdr.pos.name, "Test");

    /* set the type as last, to make sure it is not being used before in the other tasks */
    item->dynamic.hdr.type = INFO_TYPE_DYNAMIC;
   
    return;
}

and what about button assigment? like the canon info screen?
You can select items and invoke custom callback function and give a pressed key as arg0.¨

[aprofiti]

I'm triyng to port flexinfo to 50D.

I enabled "FEATURE_FLEXINFO" in "features.h", copied a test configuration from 7D or 5D2 in "flexinfo.c" and used "CONFIG_50D" instead, but it doesn't show up on camera.
How can I debug it?

Also I have found a compilation error when "FEATURE_FLEXINFO_FULL" is defined:

Code: [Select]

../../src/flexinfo.c:3137:44: error: initializer element is not constant
         .children =  (struct menu_entry[]) {
                                            ^
../../src/flexinfo.c:3137:44: note: (near initialization for 'info_menus[0]')
make: *** [flexinfo.o] Error 1Checking syntax from other sources seems coherent to this one. Solving it will maybe help understanding if is loaded but not showed.

[scrax]

I've tried to enable the flexinfo full menu too but got same error as aprofiti so had to edit old way for finding right Kelvin positions for 600D

Error is:

Code: [Select]

../../src/flexinfo.c:3141:44: error: initializer element is not constant
         .children =  (struct menu_entry[]) {
                                            ^
../../src/flexinfo.c:3141:44: note: (near initialization for 'info_menus[0]')
make[1]: *** [flexinfo.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
when compiling with
#define FEATURE_FLEXINFO_FULL
