+Lua automatically follows C++ class inheritance. e.g one can directly call all SessionObject and Route methods on Track object. However lua does not automatically promote objects. A Route object which just happens to be a Track needs to be explicily cast to a Track. Methods for casts are provided with each class. Note that the cast may fail and return a nil reference. +

+

+Likewise multiple inheritance is a non-trivial issue in lua. To avoid performance penalties involved with lookups, explicit casts are required in this case. One example is ARDOUR:SessionObject which is-a StatefulDestructible which inhertis from both Stateful and Destructible. +

+

Object lifetimes are managed by the Session. Most Objects cannot be directly created, but one asks the Session to create or destroy them. This is mainly due to realtime constrains: you cannot simply remove a track that is currently processing audio. There are various factory methods for object creation or removal.

 ARDOUR:PortEngine

+

C‡: ARDOUR::PortEngine

+
+

PortEngine is an abstract base class that defines the functionality required by Ardour.

A Port is basically an endpoint for a datastream (which can either be continuous, like audio, or event-based, like MIDI). Ports have buffers associated with them into which data can be written (if they are output ports) and from which data can be read (if they input ports). Ports can be connected together so that data written to an output port can be read from an input port. These connections can be 1:1, 1:N OR N:1.

Ports may be associated with software only, or with hardware. Hardware related ports are often referred to as physical, and correspond to some relevant physical entity on a hardware device, such as an audio jack or a MIDI connector. Physical ports may be potentially asked to monitor their inputs, though some implementations may not support this.

Most physical ports will also be considered "terminal", which means that data delivered there or read from there will go to or comes from a system outside of the PortEngine implementation's control (e.g. the analog domain for audio, or external MIDI devices for MIDI). Non-physical ports can also be considered "terminal". For example, the output port of a software synthesizer is a terminal port, because the data contained in its buffer does not and cannot be considered to come from any other port - it is synthesized by its owner.

Ports also have latency associated with them. Each port has a playback latency and a capture latency:

capture latency: how long since the data read from the buffer of a port arrived at at a terminal port. The data will have come from the "outside world" if the terminal port is also physical, or will have been synthesized by the entity that owns the terminal port.

playback latency: how long until the data written to the buffer of port will reach a terminal port.

For more detailed questions about the PortEngine API, consult the JACK API documentation, on which this entire object is based.

 ARDOUR:UnknownProcessor

is-a: ARDOUR:Processor

+
+

A stub Processor that can be used in place of a `real' one that cannot be created for some reason; usually because it requires a plugin which is not present. UnknownProcessors are special-cased in a few places, notably in route configuration and signal processing, so that on encountering them configuration or processing stops.

When a Processor is missing from a Route, the following processors cannot be configured, as the missing Processor's output port configuration is unknown.

The main utility of the UnknownProcessor is that it allows state to be preserved, so that, for example, loading and re-saving a session on a machine without a particular plugin will not corrupt the session.

C‡: LuaCairo::ImageSurface

wrap RefPtr< Cairo::ImageSurface >

Image surfaces provide the ability to render to memory buffers either allocated by cairo or by the calling code. The supported image formats are those defined in Cairo::Format.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Constructor
Cairo.ImageSurface (Format, int, int)
Methods
Contextcontext ()

Returns a context object to perform operations on the surface

unsigned char*get_data ()

Get a pointer to the data of the image surface, for direct inspection or modification.

Return value: a pointer to the image data of this surface or NULL if is not an image surface.

intget_height ()

Gets the height of the ImageSurface in pixels

intget_stride ()

Returns the stride of the image surface in bytes (or 0 if surface is not an image surface). The stride is the distance in bytes from the beginning of one row of the image data to the beginning of the next row.

intget_width ()

Gets the width of the ImageSurface in pixels

C‡: LuaCairo::PangoLayout

+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Constructor
Cairo.PangoLayout (Context, std::string)
Methods
intget_character_count ()

Returns the number of Unicode characters in the the text of layout.

Returns The number of Unicode characters in the text of layout.

EllipsizeModeget_ellipsize ()

Gets the type of ellipsization being performed for layout. See set_ellipsize()

Use is_ellipsized() to query whether any paragraphs were actually ellipsized.

Returns The current ellipsization mode for layout.

...get_pixel_size (--lua--)

Determines the logical width and height of a Pango::Layout in device units.

std::stringget_text ()

Gets the text in the layout. The returned text should not be freed or modified.

Returns The text in the layout.

WrapModeget_wrap ()

Gets the wrap mode for the layout.

Use is_wrapped() to query whether any paragraphs were actually wrapped.

Returns Active wrap mode.

boolis_ellipsized ()

Queries whether the layout had to ellipsize any paragraphs.

This returns true if the ellipsization mode for layout is not Pango::ELLIPSIZE_NONE, a positive width is set on layout, and there are paragraphs exceeding that width that have to be ellipsized.

Returns true if any paragraphs had to be ellipsized, false otherwise.

boolis_wrapped ()

Queries whether the layout had to wrap any paragraphs.

This returns true if a positive width is set on layout, ellipsization mode of layout is set to Pango::ELLIPSIZE_NONE, and there are paragraphs exceeding the layout width that have to be wrapped.

Returns true if any paragraphs had to be wrapped, false otherwise.

voidset_ellipsize (EllipsizeMode)

Sets the type of ellipsization being performed for layout. Depending on the ellipsization mode ellipsize text is removed from the start, middle, or end of text so they fit within the width and height of layout set with set_width() and set_height().

If the layout contains characters such as newlines that force it to be layed out in multiple paragraphs, then whether each paragraph is ellipsized separately or the entire layout is ellipsized as a whole depends on the set height of the layout. See set_height() for details.

ellipsize
The new ellipsization mode for layout.
voidset_markup (std::string)

Sets the layout text and attribute list from marked-up text (see markup format). Replaces the current text and attribute list.

markup
Some marked-up text.
voidset_text (std::string)

Set the text of the layout.

text
The text for the layout.
voidset_width (int)

Sets the width to which the lines of the Pango::Layout should wrap or ellipsized. The default value is -1: no width set.

width
The desired width in Pango units, or -1 to indicate that no wrapping or ellipsization should be performed.
voidset_wrap (WrapMode)

Sets the wrap mode; the wrap mode only has effect if a width is set on the layout with set_width(). To turn off wrapping, set the width to -1.

wrap
The wrap mode.

voidthin (double)

Thin the number of events in this list.

The thinning factor corresponds to the area of a triangle computed between three points in the list (time-difference * value-difference). If the area is large, it indicates significant non-linearity between the points.

Time is measured in samples, value is usually normalized to 0..1.

During automation recording we thin the recorded points using this value. If a point is sufficiently co-linear with its neighbours (as defined by the area of the triangle formed by three of them), we will not include it in the list. The larger the value, the more points are excluded, so this effectively measures the amount of thinning to be done.

This is a pure virtual class to represent a scalar control.

Note that it contains no storage/state for the controllable thing that it represents. Derived classes must provide set_value()/get_value() methods, which will involve (somehow) an actual location to store the value.

In essence, this is an interface, not a class.

Without overriding upper() and lower(), a derived class will function as a control whose value can range between 0 and 1.0.
