Usine scroll panel

[sm_jamieson]

Generally Usine sizes its panels to fit tightly round the contents. For example if you put an image panel inside a container, and make the container smaller than the panel it initially stays like that with only part of the image visible (no scrollbars of course), but when you resize anything else the container increases to show the whole image again.

What I would like is a panel or container that will not resize in that way, but display scrollbars (vertical and/or horizontal) that can be used to pan around the contents.
This could be a new type of scroll panel, or a setting available on all panels, that it will not resize to the child contents, but stay the size you set it and show scroll bars if the contents is bigger than the panel.

The scrolling should also be controlled by parameters - probably just range 0 to 1 for top of scroll to bottom of scroll.

In case you are wondering, I have some image files made from PDFs that contain song lead sheets (chords, lyrics, etc), that I want to display in a Usine container / panel and be able to scroll down, etc.

If there is a way to do this in Usine at present, please inform me !

Thanks,
Simon.

If we could pan around an object (shape for example) inside container, that is bigger than container, then no need for scroll bars (or could be optional, but probably much more complicated to implement).

I really need the scrollbars and parameter to control scrolling for my purposes.
But the parameters without the scrollbars would still be OK - I mean we could implement scrollbars using faders !

What I *really* want is a file viewer inside Usine - that could show PDF files. I can dream ...

well it's kinda quirky, but it is possible to use faders as scrollbars and enable adjustment of container size. the only quirk is that for panel image module you have to set correct size according to picture itself. if your images are all the same size, that makes things easier, as you can add file list selector and just scroll different image in same container.

Very good, thanks.

I'll think about this suggestion, probably in the next major release
