## FLscroll

FLscroll — A FLTK opcode that adds scroll bars to an area.

## Description

FLscroll adds scroll bars to an area.

## Syntax

    FLscroll iwidth, iheight [, ix] [, iy]

## Initialization

iwidth -- width of widget.

iheight -- height of widget.

ix (optional) -- horizontal position of upper left corner of the valuator, relative to the upper left corner of corresponding window (expressed in pixels).

iy (optional) -- vertical position of upper left corner of the valuator, relative to the upper left corner of corresponding window (expressed in pixels).

## Performance

Containers are useful to format the graphic appearance of the widgets. The most important container is FLpanel, that actually creates a window. It can be filled with other containers and/or valuators or other kinds of widgets.

There are no k-rate arguments in containers.

FLscroll adds scroll bars to an area. Normally you must set arguments iwidth and iheight equal to that of the parent window or other parent container. ix and iy are optional since they normally are set to zero. For example the following code:

            FLpanel   "PanelPluto",400,300,100,100
            FLscroll  400,300
    gk1,ih1 FLslider  "FLslider 1", 500, 1000, 2 ,1, -1, 300,15, 20,50
    gk2,ih2 FLslider  "FLslider 2", 300, 5000, 2 ,3, -1, 300,15, 20,100
    gk3,ih3 FLslider  "FLslider 3", 350, 1000, 2 ,5, -1, 300,15, 20,150
    gk4,ih4 FLslider  "FLslider 4", 250, 5000, 1 ,11,-1, 300,30, 20,200
            FLscrollEnd
            FLpanelEnd

will show scroll bars, when the main window size is reduced:

FLscroll.

## Examples

Here is an example of the FLscroll opcode. It uses the files FLscroll.orc and FLscroll.sco.

Example 137. Example of the FLscroll opcode.

    /* flscroll.orc */
    ; Demonstration of the flscroll opcode which enables
    ; the use of widget sizes and placings beyond the
    ; dimensions of the containing panel
    sr = 44100
    kr = 441
    ksmps = 100
    nchnls = 1

    FLpanel "Text Box", 420, 200, 50, 50
        iwidth = 420
        iheight = 200
        ix = 0
        iy = 0
        FLscroll iwidth, iheight, ix, iy
        ih3 FLbox "DRAG THE SCROLL BAR TO THE RIGHT IN ORDER TO READ THE REST OF THIS TEXT!", 1, 10, 20, 870, 30, 10, 100
        FLscrollEnd
    ; End of panel contents
    FLpanelEnd
    ; Run the widget thread!
    FLrun

    instr 1
    endin
    /* flscroll.orc */

    /* flscroll.sco */
    ; 'Dummy' score event of 1 hour.
    f 0 3600
